Maybe religion is portrayed in a bad light for the same reason trump is often portrayed in a bad light, they're both bad and indefensible
>Religion is viewed in a bad light... AGAIN
And That's A Good Fucking Thing
Dante's inferno. Hell sucks but that's because it's fucking Hell, God and heaven are still portrayed well enough.

is this the most ambitious game discussing actual sense of faith?
People lack creativity in storytelling.
when the fuck has buddhism ever been portrayed badly in games
George Washington said the US needs God and the bible to govern the country, and it works.
What does Africa have to govern their country? Wakanda?
Why are they despised. What is it about tradition that causes leftists to freak out?

A lot of religion supports violent actions towards fellow humans in a pursuit of their version of objective morality based off interpretations of texts beyond their understanding.

It's easier to just be RELIGION BAD than to explore both the positives and negatives and I wouldn't expect people who write video game stories to be able to present that competently.
tradition implies non uniqueness as it follows the same path as others before them
leftists are often the product of a failed childhood from their parents not disciplining them in many ways, thus they look for ways to feel good about themselves and being unique makes them stand out giving them the attention they never got as a kid, see [tattoos, pink hair, starbucks garbage]
that isn't to say that is the reason they hate trump though. that's only because they are brainwashed by the kike media to not like trump since trump is, for the most part, totally against their corporate interests

Good, you deconstructed religion. Now deconstruct friendship, love and morality and kill yourself. It's just as easy to do, just sit down and think.

Nothing good has ever come out of religion.
Brought some pretty neat things to art, architecture, and culture as a whole.
>it's another "OP larps as a buttblasted Christcuck" thread
All the mainstream media are shilling for capitalism and imperialism, prove me wrong.
Because video game writers in general are pretty bad and rejects from other industries. You don't get many who actually understand and read theology, philosophy, and such so you won't find Dostoyevskys, Tolstoys, or Kierkegaards in vidya.
>Good, you deconstructed religion

Gee i wonder.
imperialism for other countries besides ours*
aka neoliberalism
You can't talk about theology in a tweet and make sense
Uh, like the last 3 weeks in Sekiro? But well, it's not really the Buddhism itself, but the monks.
Because it's extremely easy for corrupt assholes to use religion to take advantage of weak minded people and turn something that is meant to unify and give hope to people into something bad.
>religion bad
meanwhile the people actually going around helping each other out to recover after a tragedy 9 times out of 10 are religious while atheists sit around and get high off of their own farts
Not like it's a popular theme so probably.
can you even imagine how people before mass education would turn out if they didn't have religion? it keeps people in check

weeeeeeeeew
This is always fucking stupid
It wasn't a Christian Dark Age, it was literally the Black Death just wiping out the population which is why we don't have much innovation in this period
Read a book nigger
First of all
>Believing the dark ages meme
Second of all
>Believing the fall of rome, that 'caused the dark ages', was cause by christianity. And not economic problems, and invaders from far outside their empire who used tactics they were unfamiliar with, and civil strife from various cultures chafing under Latin rule, and just general decadence and corruption amongst the ruling elite, and most of their army being made up of mercenaries
Meanwhile the niggas helping people free their heads from their shoulders are 9 times out of 10 religious.
A small group of middle aged white christian females looking for their fix of virtue signalling
for their white saviour complex isnt enough to fix the shitty system that is religion
It's the church that's bad, not religion itself

Why should he have to fix our problems? Europeans figured out the food and water issue centuries ago, Africans could to if they stop relying on whiteys' handouts
>it was religion that impeded scientific progress during the middle ages and not the constant war
Reminder that this Twitter post and that video game you described exists because God allows it to.
people like to shit on the church but
how many hospitals they've built?
how many orphanages?
how many schools?
How many homeless shelters?
not a single entity or group in the HISTORY OF THE WORLD helped as many people as the catholic church did for no other reason than the love for good and the need to help the fellow man
>BUT MUH CRUZADES
>BUT MUH INQUISITION
For every single person that died during that they saved another 10.000
B-but Family Guy said!
>human advancement and decline of religion resulted in alienation, anomie, lack of volition, and decline of traditional stable social structures
>skyrocketing suicide and depression rates
It was the fall of Rome you dum dum
Religious feeling is an human trait. You can argue that traditional religions are declining but see how feminism and their dogmas are spreading like fire. That's modern religious feeling.
>t was literally the Black Death just wiping out the population which is why we don't have much innovation in this period
The "dark ages" are typically presented as starting several centuries before the Black Death.
In particular they are presented as starting at the fall of the Western Roman Empire, IE the fall of a major power and all of the bureaucracy and infrastructure that supported it, and an empire that had the money and time to have large academies dedicated to the study of the natural world.
>my priest bad touched me so religion is terrible and has done nothing for humanity! *tips fedora*
I think you mean "capitalism" user
>New Fire Emblem makes you fight the church
Even Nintendo is falling for the "le religion is bad *tips fedora*" meme.
Often times its just one or a few people within the religion that is bad. I've rarely played a game where the religion itself is fleshed out enough to even determine if its evil or not.
>Muslims.
See. If they didn't have religion, their violent Middle Eastern genetics would've made them evil anyway. It has nothing to do with Faith. It has everything to do with them being born utterly evil and murderable for the sake of justice.
Castlevania and Sekiro both portray both religions fairly positively.
>Caring about what Pagans and Atheists think about you and your beliefs
Why? They don't matter, they won't in the end of days. They shall begone.
Can someone explain to me why atheists are so bitter? I get not having faith but they all seem so fucking depressed and need constant reaffirmation that they're right, hell Charles Dawkins became a huge fucking edgelord after he denounced religion
>That's modern religious feeling.
It's really not.
>HOLY SHIT. Is there not a SINGLE Christian or Buddhist or whatever in ANY videogame company?
Probably not, honestly, because creative industries not only take up a massive chunk of a persons time, energy, and passions, while delivering things of limited actual 'value' in the grand-scheme they believe in, but the people who hire for these companies tend to be liberals who will always hire other liberals first.
>less practicing Christians in the western world than ever
>a job market heavily occupied by a particular political stance that is antagonistic towards traditional values
>making stuff that distracts you
It's almost a perfect storm of where someone with faith probably won't get a job. I'm sure there are some, maybe someone wants to make a Old Testament rpg, but they would probably be pushed into the indie market anyway.
jihadists are about as knowledgeable about islam as communists are about economics
>Diablo 2 replay
Been considering the same desu. Paladin best class.
As for religion in video games - you need to keep in mind that video games and video game culture is a consumeristic hobby and so it logically attracts consumeristic people. Secularists thrive in the deracinated and bourgeois areas of the world , and are therefore inherently more predisposed to engaging in video gaming culture as video gaming culture requires a high amount of technological infrastructure to breed and become succesful.
People who are prone to escapism, the kinds of people who abandon any non-materialistic pursuits, will always be naturally attracted to such a hobby that requires relativelt vast amounts of material for it's mere existence. Asceticism and video games are not a natural combination.
Shit nigger, I AM an atheist. I still agree that presenting the church as always evil is complete fucking nonsense.
>Castlevania
I take it you didn't watch the anime? That was easily one of the edgiest, most anti-religious things I've ever seen.
Religion is Human psychology, placing blind Faith in stuff one dude agrees with simply because of a label. Any attempts at debunking religion ends with the dumbass picking something equally dumb to fill that void AKA hippy woo or more recently SocJust woo.
Prove me wrong. Protip: You can't.
no
You mean they got it all figured out and know what the end of history will be like?
Only idiots think either of those things were bad, anyway. Crusaders were fighting the medieval equivalent of ISIS. Saladin, who was considering the greatest of all Muslims, was still a slaver and peadophile. The inquisition is the reason people weren't burnt for being witches in Catholic countries, because they concluded that there was no such thing and that people were attacking political opponents (meanwhile Protestants were still burning "witches"). It was pure Dutch propaganda where we get the idea that the inquisition was bad.
ITT: Yea Forums yet again believing human rights were made to "protect humans"
ISIS literally quizzed people on Islam at roadblocks to decide if they should be executed
>Posting Castlevania Netflix.
This is a video games board, user.
every society beyond a population of 1k forms a religion
"church bad" =/= "religion bad"
Communists are no where near that knowledgeable.
This is the religion that says you should never be at peace with the infidel for a period lasting longer than 5 years.
Person is thankful that God gave them the ability to drink clean water.
The boy should be thankful that he has the option of changing his fate if he works for it.
The point is you are alive and experiencing a reality that is finite. You are going to die and this experience is literally once in a lifetime.
Both the development of capitalism from the enlightenment and classical liberalism and their successors in the utopian socialists whose utilitarian materialism is just as bad

>obscure text
>literally the most distributed books in the history of the world
Refusing to open a book doesn't make it obscure. It only makes you willfully ignorant.
Its cool though, because the guilty naturally turn from justice.
all religions are shit user
its ok to have imaginary dogmas to please imaginary friends that exist within fantasy rules, the problem arises when said dogma requires its followers to mess with non followers
literally all religions that ever existed fucked up with their neighbors/pagans/non-followers
That doesn't really discredit the games which almost always portray the church positively. Also no one from Konami worked on that shit show.
>less practicing Christians in the western world than ever
Do you mean by proportion or by total numbers? Either way you're wrong. The western world in the 20th century being half dominated by communism where atheistic states actively persecuted religion puts that argument in a bit of a dilemma. Only a few decades ago there was a major Christian revival in Europe.
>Tfw Christian
>Tfw people internally chimp out just because you say "bless you"
I have an r/atheism coworker who unironically opts for "gazuntite" because he's so scrupulous about it
Oposed to what? an elite group of pseudo intelectuals that are willing to create a violent world that is unjust for everyone, punishes talent and is willing to ignore the real world in favor of opinion and ideas.
You have a weed removal process vs the freedom to see the garden going to shit while a few pick the last fruits it will ever give.
Pick your fucking poison.
oh,i should start worrying about those tartars i've been at peace with for 500
>anime
it was made in the west, its not anime
AND it doesnt fucking follow the fucking games, all belmonts are incredible catholic
even LEON, that was royaly fucked by the church was a heavy beliver.
Reminder to fedora armchair scholars/fans of Family Guy:
Human advancement, if properly directed, could improve our lives tremendously. But instead it's used to better exploit the working class. Marx already wrote about how capitalism alienates workers in the 19th century. Capitalism values profits above all. Human advancement is not the problem, it is the way our society is structured.
This.
You just have to look at this entire "Russian Collusion" debacle with entire fucking Liberals cocksure Trump actually colluded with Russia with absolutely no proof about it.
Come the past few weeks, turns out it was all a conspiracy theory. But they won't call it that because they're immune to conspiracy theories and baseless anger. See?
I've been on Yea Forums for over a decade now, but he's right though. Trump is literally a lying idiot and probably one of the worst presidents we could've gotten. Country is going to go to shit cause of him. How can you take him seriously? The man has said more lies than truth in the past years. I know you'll say that every president lies, but not to the degree he does. I'm confused at this point whether he knows he's lying or just convinced himself it's true.
