He said that those who suggested that the show glamourised the devil had not really understood the series. “It’s not an irreligious show at all,” he said. “It’s actually very respectful of the structure of that sort of religious belief. The idea that it promotes satanism [is nonsense]. None of the characters from Hell are to be aspired to at all. They’re a dreadful bunch of non-entities.”

    Or who fucking cares about what religious fanatics say about a show that they don’t have to watch.

    Don’t like it, don’t watch it.

    Clutch your religious pearls from the privacy of your home outside of the public eye, where that shit belongs.

      Responding to moronic charges of blasphemy is like yelling at farts. Kinda understandable, butt knot really.

        No, it’s acknowledging their ancient primitive beliefs and giving them a platform to preach hate from.

        Fuck em, ignore their hateful cries for attention.

        Let them sulk in shame and dwell on being ignored until they fall into obscurity.

          Their “faith” simply signals what they see as their ultimate expression of virtue: honoring their mothers and their fathers by parroting their indoctrination. Brainwashing never goes well.

      It is still wild to me how religion is still so accepted or normalized. And i don’t mean that it shouldn’t be or should be outlawed.
      But the first reaction to any sane person to something like that should just be to laugh and not even think twice about these cultists.
