TBOI and Christianity

[Fork Guy]

What do you think about tboi and religion? I'm a christian and like the game, but never thought of it bashing against religion. What do you think?

[NineInchNailer]

I'm not religious but respect to all Christians out there not being triggered nor offended.

Im not christian so i dont know much but have been studying the bible for awhile now...

The binding of Issac is the bible its self heres why:
First the charicters:
-Lazarus- He is Saint Lazarus, follower of jesus who was resurected anew.
-Azazel- He is the fallen angel who betrayed god and led the scapegoat astray.
-Judas- Betrayed Jesus, unkown death, believed to have hung himself due to the sins he commited
-Eve. or Evelyn- ♥♥♥♥♥ of Babalon sold sex for money, went against jesus and comitted sins. not to be confused with Eve from Adam and Eve.
-Madgaline- Represents purity, made other women jealous because she was perfect and pure before finding the light of jesus.
-??? (Blue Baby)- is the physical dead form of Isaac.
-The Lost- Soul of ??? and Isaac, possibly stuck in the limbo where dead children go, or purgatory first layer of hell.
-Samson- Can be Compared to Hurcules
-Cain- Son of Adam and Eve along with abel. was the first murderer and 3rd to be cursed. lied to god about his sins.
-Eden- Represents Rebirth or Reincarnation and purity free of sins.

AND FINNALY Isaac. Isaac is the scapegoat who got led astray by Azazel, Azazel lead Isaac to beleve god is bad and forced Isaac to kill his own mother, thus Issac sees himself as "A demon" or "The devil", he feels guilt and relises he is becoming the next "Azazel". Isaac's only choice is suicide, thus resulting in ??? isaac's physical dead form, could represent the old isaac, and The lost, could represent the new now "pure" isaac now stuck in limbo. The name "The lost" could also mean Isaac has lost his way and is now trying to find new meaning in the limbo hoping there is more than this.

Second Bosses (well most of them):
-the seven mini bosses, Envy, Gluttony, Greed, Lust, Pride, Sloth and Warth all represent the Devils deadly seven sins.

-The Horsemen, Famine, Persilence, War and Death, represent the harbringer's of the apocolypse

Third Items:
most of the items are related to the bible in a way. for example:
-Scapegoat
-The bible yea theactual item clled the bible
-book of belial
-the sybol items
ect.

so theres why Isaac is the bible, i might be wrong but from what i just said seems like it is.
and please if i got anything wrong correct me

I'm sorry but, The Binding of Isaac, the game is based off the bible. Is that what you meant? and Eve is both the ♥♥♥♥♥ of Babylon and Eve from the creation of the world. Also Mary Magdalene was a reformed prostitute who found Jesus and cleansed herself of sin represented by the seven heart containers needed to unlock her.

I honestly felt guilty playing this, being a christian, but over time, its become brilliant to me
Heres my theories on it.

First, health is really three things, overall happyness and wellbeing (red hearts) faith (blue hearts) and outright hate (blackhearts) . White heart shards are somewhat like a prayer, hoped to be answered, to restore general wellbeing (red hearts)

At first this game may seem nasty : ♥♥♥♥, flies, and other nasty elements, and nothing very nice at all.

The game focuses on 2 paths : light or dark, which are things all people face : light, while good, is difficult, trying, and a struggle, and dark is bad in its own right.

Sure, devil deals are a quick, easy way, but they present new problems, robbing you of "happyness" in exchange for tools, and also barring you from god, and while having faith (resisting "sins" of the devil deal room) is harder, its much more rewarding in the long run typically and has no downsides compared to sin, even if the immediate benefit is less

The 2 paths are light and dark : facing sin, or facing dark : both are hard, either walking the narrow path, or walking into darkness and trying to survive.

The plot, once you piece it together is pretty ♥♥♥♥♥♥ : isaac is lost, unsure of identity, lost, without guidance, and obviously torn up over his father : and his mother who is deranged, and has gotten worse HERSELF without a man around

Because of this, its a very clear message that fatherless homes are bad, AND THEY ARE : most kids who are screwed up grow up without a father.

So while messed up, I think its not an EVIL game persay.
