09. [SPOILERS for Supernatural]
https://i.imgur.com/kqIpHju.png

Considering 'God' has destroyed whole cities, tortured his followers, had his own son tortured and killed, drowned (supposedly) millions of people and animals, etc., etc., etc.....

Can't say i really feel much sympathy for the 'god' character on a tv show being shown as evil. Kinda true to form.

Also cool with slavery and rape (as long as you pay for it).

Exactly.

I think you could argue that it's disrespectful to believers.

On the other hand, I think how much that matters may vary considerably on the specific context and personal feeling.

Frankly...i don't really care. It's a tv show. Let's count the ones that are disrespectful to women, LGBTQ people, immigrants, etc., etc.....

The Xian religion doesn't get a pass, they're in the mix just like everyone and everything else.

Well, but I would have a problem if a TV show in America - for example - went out of its way to portray Allah specifically as evil. I think that's because I would understand that in the context of discrimination against Muslims in America, and I don't know if the same logic would apply to Christians in America (though it might apply in a place where Christians were discriminated against). But I can also understand how a Christian might see that as a double standard (though I don't think that it is).

Edgy

*shrug*
Just my actual opinion.

Damn, are they plagiarizing Delano, Gaiman, and Ennis AGAIN!

I do not know! Not like 'god isn't awesome' is a new thought.....

It's Supernatural. I'm not sure they have an obligation to be "respectful" to a certain religion.

Also, God is kind of evil from what I know of the bible.

I mean they already made every other deity in their universe both a) evil and b) subservient to the Chuck!God anyway so why the hell not.

So you were fine with how Supernatural handled other mythologies until they gave the same treatment to one that was important to you, and suddenly They've Gone Too Far? That's not an unusual response, but you might consider meditating on it a bit.

!!!! Right?

OR you might try meditating on having some compassion. Oh, sorry, Christians are fair game, amitrite?

DA What do you mean? This isn't a matter of Christians being fair game (where I would ordinarily side with you actually)--it's that Christianity isn't immune to the treatment that other religions have already gotten on this show.

Reading! It's Fundamental!

If God is everything, and you believe Evil exists, then God created Evil and thus IS Evil. Or something like that.

They're pretty late to the party to be making god evil.

I think you're confusing God the deity with Chuck the character, but whatever. It's a TV show. If God the deity is so fragile a concept that a cable television show is damaging to Him, He's not a very powerful figure to your eyes.

OP didn't say that, but congrats on your impressive reach. It must be so nice to be superior to all those weak believers.

/not one, but not into bashing those who are.

For a non believer, you seem pretty triggered by comnents "disrespecting" the Lord Almighty.

I don't engage with people who react with hyperbole.

God is Evil? I have never watched this show before but now I want to.
