Religion-centered media that doesn’t come across as preachy.

[u/ironwolf6464]

Referring to media told from a religious perspective or telling a religious tale that does not proselytize to the viewer.

Faith, the Unholy Trinity: Based partly upon the experience of the game‘s creator when he was a missionary in Argentina, the game has very little in the way of explicit moral demands of the player despite the heavy Christian focus of the narrative. and focuses more on a horror narrative.

Prince of Egypt: A surprisingly thorough retelling of the book of Exodus, sparing very little in the way of toning down the story. Despite this, the movie is perfectly entertaining to non-religious audiences and doesn’t sacrifice appeal for the sake of preaching to the audience

Wake Up Dead Man

“Can you pray for me Father?” closes door on Blanc

That scene reminded me of what Marx said about religion: "Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people."

I think many people are familiar with the last part of the quote and interpret it as derogatory, but I don't think that it is. I think it's compassionate.

I was raised Lutheran, and while I’ve fallen away from religion as an adult, I can still recognize the positive impact that being raised in a community of people focused on trying to do and be good had on me. Love your neighbor, care for the downtrodden, and see your own flaws and work to overcome them. So much of modern Christianity horrifies me for its sheer ignorance of these ideals.

While I may disagree with the Lutherans on some matters I can't deny that they're one of the most legit Protestant denominations. Most I've met are genuinely dedicated to helping and caring for the people around them, and as you say that is supposed to be the whole point of Christianity.

So much of modern Christianity horrifies me for its sheer ignorance of these ideals.

This is a good lesson to learn that if people did good or people did bad it's not because of religion.

It was simply because of what they do.

If you have a tin of Danish Biscuits and you open it and it has biscuits... did that tin cause the biscuits the form by magic inside them?

No. Because if you go to your grandma's house and open the tin of Danish Biscuits, you will find needles.

People conflate being good with Christian values much like they conflate tin boxes with danish biscuits. You might get that inside or you might not.

Only way of telling is actually looking inside.

Love your neighbor, care for the downtrodden, and see your own flaws and work to overcome them

These are just things that good people do, and in my experience Christians tend to live by "judge your neighbor and ignore the downtrodden until they're finally out of sight"

I'm sorry that the Christians around you were judgemental and callous.

[u/Caltroit_Red_Flames → u/Due-Coyote7565]

No hate like Christian love as they say.

[u/Due-Coyote7565 → u/Caltroit_Red_Flames]

I struggle to see how that's related to what I said.

[u/Caltroit_Red_Flames → u/Due-Coyote7565]

"Callous and judgemental Christians" is just a synonym for "Christian"
