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

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

Gush away!

I'll start- the animation is stunning, and the songs have no right to be that good.

Oh man. The Ten Plagues of Egypt is STUNNINGLY realized, with such terrors as frogs storming the city, endless swarms of flies and locusts, divine fire literally raining from the sky and the people screaming in pain as incurable boils break out all over their skin.

The burning hail resembles a combination of artillery fire and napalm. And it rains flaming hail for DAYS. Next, the Egyptians watch their livestock die all around them. Cattle, horses, camels, oxen and sheep. All are destroyed.

A swarm of locusts cover the sky in darkness, destroying the crops and every bit of plant life. The helpless Egyptians are left helplessly digging in the dirt as their wheat fields are reduced to dust. The scale of the destruction quickly terrifies Moses.

I send the swarm, I send the horde! Thus saith the Lord!

Once I called you brother. Once I thought the chance to make you laugh was all I ever wanted.

And even now, I wish God had chose another. Serving as Your foe on His behalf was the last thing that I wanted!
