    do I have to recite your own commandments to you? I’m not telling anyone they can’t read it. I’m asking WHY are you reading this, it’s clearly a distorted version of religion, i.e

    1 Corinthians 10:23: *"‘I have the right to do anything,’ you say—but not everything is beneficial. ‘I have the right to do anything’—but not everything is constructive."
    The Second Commandment:
    Exodus 20:4-5: "You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them."

    referring to a physical idol, but it can also extend to creating a false or distorted image of God in literature, art, or media. it’s literally a violation of the commandment to indulge in reading this SPECIFIC manwha. I’m not judging you, I’m not even religious, but even I know when to point out where you can’t bring religious criticism into certain spaces, my comment wasn’t directed at you, it was directed at the people bringing religious arguments and rebuking into their comments. lol

    GIRL, WHAT. You’re mad about a demon (pretending to be God) distorting the image of God??? That’s literally the entire point of the manhwa. It’s a horror story ffs. It’s about how people can get deceived by false images of God and how easy it is to fall into temptation and evil when you’re at your lowest. That’s literally how the devil works — pretending to be what you want, feeding into your weaknesses.

    Don’t believe me? Let’s look at 2 Corinthians 11:14: “And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.” That’s literally what’s happening here. It’s about deception, not worship.

    Or how about Matthew 4:1-3, when the devil tempts Jesus in the wilderness, showing how manipulation can twist the truth when you’re vulnerable? “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.”

    The story's about exposing those false images, not glorifying them. So yeah, maybe read the whole story first and try to understand the deeper themes before you start quoting scriptures. Which is funny bc you’re complaining about bringing religious criticism into fiction spaces while literally dragging Bible verses into a horror manhwa discussion. Also i've been searching for these "comments" you mentioned and i can't find any, i've literally searched till page 10. girl how about you go touch some grass and stop embarrassing yourself lol

    I disagree, imo the story sensationalizes the demon’s actions, and it’s shallow smut with little to no moral resolution in the story, there is no message, there isn’t even a deeper meaning. Everything in itself is conventionally alluring, it risks glorifying the very thing it claims to critique. quoting this phrase. “Exposing evil must be done in a way that does not celebrate or normalize it.”, and personally, I think this is a classic case of glorification, given that the story lacks depth.

    anyways, regardless of the how you interpret the “deeper meanings” the way I interpret the narrative is subjective and completely ambiguous, I don’t need permission to have an opinion, nor criticize the story and commenters..it’s just crappy smut and a shoddy imagery of religion. and because you think I’m out of touch doesn’t mean you’re undermining the credibility of my argument, I’m not wrong for questioning why a Christian should be reading this kind of material, if you’re really so passionate about your faith, you know it’s wrong to indulge in reading this trash, like it’s literally against scripture to be reading this. it’s a little concerning you can’t handle reasonable criticism without having to target me as an individual, lol, at least I can acknowledge you had some thematic potential and credibility in ur argument. and for the last bit, there are people, yes, bringing religion into the comments, asking for forgiveness, pointing out the blasphemy, and rebuking the story. I’ll quote them for you, “ Riri April 15, 2025 8:51 pm
    forgive me, oh my, blasphemy”

    I don't know what to say. As soon as that blond deity was introduced I screamed "blood of Jesus I rebuke you devil"…”

    This feels weird as a Catholic, i be eating it up still”

    and again.. like none of this is an issue, really just read what you want, I’m just saying it’s questionable and that’s okay.. because I have free will lol

    Girl, respectfully, you're doing mental gymnastics worthy of an olympic medal at this point. First, you dragged out scripture to argue this story was glorifying evil. Now that didn't work, so suddenly it's 'just your opinion' and 'free will.' Pick a struggle.

    You’re confusing portrayal of evil with glorification of evil, which shows you fundamentally missed both the point of the story and how storytelling even works. It’s not the story’s fault you couldn’t find any deeper meaning, that’s a 'you' problem, not a 'story' problem.

    Also, quoting random people who feel convicted doesn’t prove your point. it just shows people can engage with dark fiction critically while still holding their faith, which literally disproves your whole argument. Congrats on playing yourself.

    "I’m not wrong for questioning why a Christian should read this" —
    YEAH YOU ARE, if you're operating off fake assumptions and then acting morally superior about it. Christians reading horror that challenges and explores temptation, deception, and the nature of evil? That's literally relevant to Christianity. Jesus literally went out into the desert to face the devil himself. were you gonna tell him he shouldn’t have "read" that experience too? LMAO.

    and let’s be real, you came into this with judgment disguised as 'questions,' then pulled the victim card when someone actually gave you a rebuttal you couldn’t handle. If you’re gonna dish it, learn to take it. also let's clear this up, I've never said you were 'out of touch', you had to invent a fake narrative just to cope bc the facts weren’t on your side. pls.

    Anyway, I’m not gonna keep explaining basic media literacy to someone who’s determined to misunderstand it. goodbye and may God bless you
