Apparently posted this in the wrong place the first time - didn't know of this sub. I don't quite feel like rewriting it, so just excuse the tongue-in-cheekness of it all.
Here we have a post titled "Bible game developer claims Satan is responsible for their failures". I was feeling a little masochistic, and I jumped right on in...
Christian media has a big problem, and it's been talked about plenty of times.... It basically always comes back to lazy story writing 956/178
Wait, what?
Amazingly, reddit doesn't take this opportunity to bash relentlessly on fundies. What follows from here is a surprisingly non-judgmental discussion on why Christian games/movies/mostly games have failed, without outright insulting Christians/fundies/etc as a whole.
Of course, when we scroll down a bit, we'll find ourselves some good old fashioned hate:
Fundamentalist aren't generally very creative or imaginative people - no way! I am shocked, absolutely shocked.14/9
But wait, someone actually steps up to call him on his bullshit, and, get this, gets upvoted more than the hate.
It's not really that. It's that they tend (read 99.9% of the time) to start from a point of evangelism and ministry. The point is to share the bible as it is. Which when you don't allow a unique perspective produces poor stories. I know plenty of creative religious, even fundamentalist, people. It's just that when it comes to the bible and religion they feel the need to keep it 100% intact. 18/0
Look at that 18/0. That wonderful, beautiful zero. Maybe there's hope yet.
