The various Christian sects are not agreed when it comes to how important the old testament is. Making a sweeping statement like "Law of Moses doesnt count in Christianity" is painting with far too broad of a stroke. Most of the old testament is very important for many fundamentalist sects. How important it is varies depending on the sect.

Well they have ways.... lets just say that, for doing what they do (thats main problem with autocrats as a whole). For example. Read up on "Micah 5" you can say if its connected to New David, then cool!. Since Jesus is seen as the new David in the bible.

So thats probably where the whole idea of hunting down witches came from

Now not to sound like a bible thumper. But here is some more from New Testament on witches atleast. Seems to be condemned more, though you probably could find some random stuff to justify witch trials if you are power hungry enough. Afterall Europe witch hunts wasnt what you can say... very nice to them

Either case feel free to go through them but this is all i could find so far

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Chronicles%2033&version=NIV
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts+19&version=NIV

Micah is technically Hebrew bible, but since its somewhat canon in Catholicism i will include this. Not related to Mosaic law but it can be seen as a justification of witch trials.
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Micah%205&version=NIV

But here is the rest, not gonna bother posting it all. Lots of ramblings how bad witches are basically, but in New Testament it tend to be rants on how bad it is most of the time

Exodus 22:18 Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.

Leviticus 20:27 A man also or woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones: their blood shall be upon them.

Deuteronomy 18:10-11 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch. Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.

The only exception is ten commandments, because New Testament sorta mentions it.

Law of Moses doesnt count in Christianity. Its told in Jeremiah that old laws by God wouldnt be required under the law of Christ.

Cant say i know what New Testament says about witches, but if its connected to Mosaic laws then its invalid to the new contract.

Jeremiah 31:31-34

New International Version

31 The days are coming, declares the Lord,
when I will make a new covenant
with the people of Israel
and with the people of Judah.
32 It will not be like the covenant
I made with their ancestors
when I took them by the hand
to lead them out of Egypt,
because they broke my covenant,
though I was a husband to[a] them,[b]
declares the Lord.
33 This is the covenant I will make with the people of Israel
after that time, declares the Lord.
I will put my law in their minds
and write it on their hearts.
I will be their God,
and they will be my people.
34 No longer will they teach their neighbor,
or say to one another, Know the Lord,
because they will all know me,
from the least of them to the greatest,
declares the Lord.
For I will forgive their wickedness
and will remember their sins no more.

16 know that a person is not justified by the works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in[a] Christ and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no one will be justified.

lol this disposes of like, the other 70% of people.

yeah, it shouldn't be a 2-party system, but that's kinda what happens when you have 1 party (Rep) that's completely based in Christian Conservatism. The opposition ends up being pretty status quo, but that isn't going to change until the Religious Right is completely removed from influence, because their influence is a threat.

There is also the phony people who lie and disinform too, to keep the political system as it is. For example people who claim to be Barry Goldwater followers, yet they also oppose abortions are the most biggest clowns in this day and age, if they knew what he thought about the religious right in the 1980s whom he hated. Think he said you cant ban abortion because it will always exist whether its banned or not, it should be a personal issue not a political issue "Which is a statement that i agree with"

I have a question for you, TC. How much worse would America be if there weren't "annoying atheists" trying to bring people back to Earth here and there?

*Insert video of southern pastor telling people abortion clinics are slaughterhouses*

Because religious people have ruined this country. Get off your high horse. We have people left and right forcing religion on us and yet they can't stop bitching when the delusional get the slightest bit of mockery.

Imagine how much harder it would be for Trump org to convince America the election was stolen if his audience wasn't molded from birth to believe everything that was told to them from authority without question. It destroys your mental faculties.

And btw, I only ever go off on rants these days when a poster (like you) tells me I'm annoying and to shut up. I literally never even initiate it.

Also my best friend is trans, and you probably think she's crazy or a pedophile groomer, so I don't really give a shit what you say from your high horse.

Maybe the answer is that in those countries they don't have to because the religious know their place.

I agree if you mean Reagen religious right from 1980s were a bunch of crazy idiots.

But the problem is really the voting system. You need representative of political party to be the main focus and not "Backers who can just pay candidates interms of the two party system of Democrat or Republican establishment", that way less obnoxious people will use backers to say stupid stuff, because it will be the focus of a party and overall be objective, and not the individual crazy people, aka thats whats exploiting the system.

What you have now is either neckbeards from atheist movement, or some bimbo from Fox News. Its not really fixing the system just by saying one is bad without doing anything to fix the system itself

Shintoism and Buddhism as belief systems don't inherently seek to missionize the world like Christianity does, for one

You mean Abrahamic ones?. I guess main ones in this day is Christianity and Islam. I am pro religious freedom, though i am critical to devotion cultures of Catholicism or Sunni Islam, because i dont think they develop a society usually its just, be devoted and die. So its just pointless, its reason why Turkey got modernized once the government got secularized. Work culture of either Protestantism or Secular movements has had alot of positive things in this case.

But Buddhism and Shintoism is interesting i think.

But even then, even without religion, autocrat society or authoritarianism is the dangers. Like i dont think people who were pro Trump all did it for religious reasons, but purely autocrat danger mentality, often people who rely on despair do this kinda thing which i hope we learn from.

Autocrats are oppressive, i think we can agree whether its secular or religious that those elements are bad. But mainly objective criticism to devotion cultures is they tend to not develop all that well and is almost same as self destructive porn addiction, which may feel good but doesnt go all that deep or is even open for that matter to anything but one thing

Cant say Ive had any experience with atheists that youve apparently had, and Ive lived in the US and Canada. Sounds like you just hate the US and project that onto random internet stereotypes and pretend every American is like that.

I dont care if you do or dont just say it instead of making these weird ass topics lmao.

You kinda had to be on YouTube back in the day. But whether its a business model, because welfare isnt a thing in USA often, to get traffic for views is debatable. Afterall US politics relies on backers, so money in politics is huge there of influence. Its not like Europe or some other places where a representative for a political party means you have to be respectful and overall have rules on how to act. But in USA its just a loose canon, because backers of influence can make you say absolute ridiculous stuff. So you can say wild things and not be called out for it.

So that may be why they are so loud is my theory and also non subtle interms of the whole anti religious arguments which is just as bad as pro religious arguments in USA often, either its a bimbo or a neckbearded guy making an argument for something

oh i forgot. Armstrong voice actor is also good english voice. But i stand corrected

"Since Europeans and Japanese are less obnoxious when it comes to disbelief in god."
Here's your first claim that has no bearing on reality. Back it up.

"Though Dawkins is the poster boy for atheism in USA so its debatable."
Sorry, what does that make debatable?

"Religions has communities. But atheism is a disorganized community, so being louder may just be a way to feel validated."
This presumes that atheists don't have communities. This is clearly refutable. Atheists are part of communities and engage with their communities.

As for your original question, it seems like a you problem, and you're insecure about hearing the perspective of others. Do you actually ever hear atheists in public? I don't. I hear constant Christian conversation as someone who deals with numerous customers in their home on a daily basis. It seems like you're extrapolating this experience from atheists that you've decided to interact with online. Quite honestly, this all seems like ideas manufactured in your own brain.

I dont have a problem when its related to a relative valid criticism. Thats why i mentioned Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood. Its a little less preachy than FMA 2003 series. But in Brotherhood, Edward Elric compares flying too close to the sun as the reason, and overall has a subtle take on followers who are outcasts have nothing to lose so they will obviously find that community comforting. Aka humans are flawed.

Where in American atheist mindset its... i am better than you, often narcissism is involved there or a form of elitism.

So thats the difference, its not so much attacking the source of a problem but trying to find some validation that they are just Gods of their own in a sense.

Forgive the horrible female voice actor here "Why i watch it in japanese" there is basically few good english voice actor in FMA Brotherhood anime, Edward Elric voice actor, Roy Mustang (Even if the voice dont fit character) and King Bradley.

Pretty much this. There's a dominant cultural message of "you shouldn't be atheist," so there's a dominant cultural message of "being atheist is great" in response. If there's nobody trying to tell you atheism is bad, there's little reason to say that atheism is good.

But in Europe there isnt mass movement on this. Its just either you believe or you dont?. So is USA kinda like middle east on religion? Almost like its governmentally run or something?. And thats why we get bad shows like Castlevania Netflix series, instead of subtle criticism of religions of better written shows. Example is Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood anime or Life of Brian movie for one example.

Since Europeans and Japanese are less obnoxious when it comes to disbelief in god. Though Dawkins is the poster boy for atheism in USA so its debatable. But often its Americans who are very loud about it.

So i have two reasons to why that may be

1: USA is the world. People watch Hollywood movies on international level so obviously its the one place to have lot of influence on world politics
2: Religions has communities. But atheism is a disorganized community, so being louder may just be a way to feel validated.

But what do you think?

Though one can discuss several reasons to be against EU for other reason than immigration, but interms of the first game this was sorta the group you fought

How can that be when J.R.R Tolkien hated both Nazism and Communism though? Isnt Communism by itself anti capitalism? Or do you think he simply hated authoritarianism by also being against capitalism? He also didnt like hippies.

Think only slightly controversial political take he had was supporting Franco of Spain. The fascist party of Spain. Think it was mainly due to the killing of Catholic priests or something, while the Republicans of Spain was communist

I doubt it due to the vampiric and black magic themes, but honestly I wouldn't be surprised if they did approve of it. Remember that movie called The Rite about demonic possession with Anthony Hopkins? They approved of that.

I had a guy on discord who was kind enough to translate the famicom intro from japanese to english. It sounds plausible. So here it is

"
"15th century, Europe. In this dark world, there was a fearsome figure. He was Vlad Tepes of Transylvania, also known as Dracula. He revived a magic that was lost long ago, and with the help of a dark evil god, he sent out abominable monsters one after another, turning all of Wallachia into a land of darkness and carnage.

The king, maddened by his own ambition, finally decided to spread his evil throughout Europe. He wanted to wound the land and stain it with blood. The Orthodox Church, taking this very seriously, took immediate action and sent in an army.

There were also those in his land who wanted to fight against Dracula. But none of them returned alive... The Orthodox Church, at its wit's end, finally decided to entrust the Belmont family, the true vampire hunters, with the task of defeating Dracula.

The Belmont family is a family that has an ancient bloodline that goes back to ancient times, and has survived through battles against the abominable. However, because of their inhuman abilities, they have been feared and shunned by the people.

So they disappeared from the public's sight, and no one had seen them for a long time... The Pope finally found a man who had Belmont's blood in his veins, a young man named Ralph Belmont (not Trevor). More than 100 years after Simon Belmont, the battle between Dracula and man is about to begin...""

Is Seth Rogen behind this? I tell you i made joke that, if they love it so much. Smoke it up the ass. Take that joint up the ass, clench your buttcheeks and smoke it and get high that way.

Think only issue is if someone tried to practice the art of effort but was in reality just making it bad for attention. Thats the only negative effect of it. Because i dont think people want to watch someone making it bad on purpose. But if it fails because they tried really hard is probably where the comedy is at

And Good witch Sypha in Castlevania 3 working with the church, aka Carmilla is blamed for the witch trials taking innocent people's lives in that timeline in history by demonic forces etc.
https://castlevania.fandom.com/wiki/Sypha_Belnades

"She is a witch from the region of Wallachia, where she initially had to conceal her identity by posing as a man in order to escape the witch trials of the time.

Sypha Belnades was a witch who harnessed the energy of spirits to command the power of the elements. Sypha grew up among witches in Wallachia. When she was very young, children of the night, including the vampire Carmilla, darkened the hearts of men and helped spark the great witch trials which resulted in the death of many of Sypha's sister witches.[3] Both of her parents were killed in the process.[4]
Sypha escaped and was found wandering near a monastery in Wallachia and was granted protection by the Church. Sypha would remain at that monastery for some time and would train as a monk. She eventually mastered the elements of fire, ice, and lightning by making a deal with spirits."

Dracula argues greed is the reason for humanity progress.

But Richter argues relying on oneself is what leads to destruction, respect and love is needed to move foreward. Love is a very important virtue in New Testament of the bible.

I was playing Castlevania 3. Here is the backstory of Sypha

"Sypha Belnades was a witch who harnessed the energy of spirits to command the power of the elements. Sypha grew up among witches in Wallachia. When she was very young, children of the night, including the vampire Carmilla, darkened the hearts of men and helped spark the great witch trials which resulted in the death of many of Sypha's sister witches.[3] Both of her parents were killed in the process.[4]

Sypha had a burning desire to destroy anything tainted by darkness who she felt was responsible for mankind's actions against her kind and would become a hunter for the Church."

I thought your question was more about how well the series adapts the game's main plot.

Most of the lore, as in what is in that scroll, got retconned by the Leon Belmont game anyway.

Also while i may be looking too deep here.

But if you look at how Richter argue

Love is a Christian virtue where as Dracula argues that greed is what drives humanity, the overall argument for Richter is relying on oneself is destruction more or less.

Though english original PS1 version i like too (Ps4/PSP redub i consider horrible but thats me)

But yeah its just funny how i felt Netflix series just assumed the censored USA Castlevania 3 intro was the right one. Since during the time of Nintendo of America, lots of censorship to religion or nudity as such was a thing then

Rondo of Blood i consider the best Castlevania game, though english dub of that felt accurate to the cheesy animated cutscenes so i liked that one atleast of english voice acting. Played it when i owned PS4, i own Xbox Series X now

I own Castlevania Anniversary Collection, and you can turn on Famicom version and read intro screen in japanese. Problem is i cant read it. But is this intro accurate to that of the game in japanese, if so... wouldnt Castlevania animated series on Netflix contradict the plot of the game?
