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.

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.

Bible even says not to do it in public.

More importantly, who gives a fuck about the opinions of god-bothering busybodies.

There's a big explosion in evangelical Christianity that is very concerning to me. There's a lot of new small churches springing up all the time. They work on a 'planting' basis, so each church will 'seed' and send out people to new places to set up churches of their own. They work like a pyramid scheme really.

Reminds me of people saying Doom is a satanic game and the point is literally going to hell and killing demons lol

I, for one, encourage blasphemy

Makes me want to watch it more.

Do it, it was excellent

Some people need to get a grip and/or a sense of humour.

The show is blasphemous. And that's good. All religions are made up nonsense and so making fun of them for actually seriously believing in such stuff is a good thing.

I'm an agnostic, but shows like this show a lot of respect for religious beliefs.

More so than these comments.

Religious beliefs don't deserve any respect.

No more respect than some idiot that thinks the earth is flat or the moon is made of cheese.

The comments in here are amazing, MY PEOPLE!

Disrespects satanists.

Unfortunately some people take this sort of thing fairly seriously based on what has happened in Iraq to the Swedish embassy over the threat of someone threatening to burn a Koran in Sweden last week.
