Religion in media: Diablo, a question

 

   As I mentioned before, I like to play computer games. One of those games is Diablo. Diablo, the original game was a benchmark game, that many others attempted to duplicate. However, I am wishing to take a look at its story, or mythos, if you will, rather than game mechanics.
  Diablo's story is based upon a war between Heaven and Hell, between the angels and the demons. This war spilled over into Sanctuary, the world which the game is based upon.
   The demons continue to attempt to gain control of Sanctuary, while the angels appear to be keeping an attitude of Laissez-faire, to let it be, or hands off. This is the basis of the story which allows the hero to enter the scene.
  This Mythos, uses many Christian terms, such as: sin, angels, demons, Heaven, Hell, and salvation, but no Christian concepts. The Mythos, appears to also borrow a pantheistic view of greater beings, often called gods, but are themselves also creatures that where born form others or came spontaneously from nothing.
  This story, this mythos is obviously false, but my question is: Could otherwise intelligent people, accept it for true?
  My guess, is that yes, it is possible. If one is not willing to accept the truth, any lie is possibly acceptable. Terry Goodkind, put it this way: "People are stupid: they are willing to believe a lie, because they want it to be true, or they are afraid that it is true" (Wizard's First Rule). The Bible puts it this way: "Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened." Romans 1:21
  The natural state of man, is to reject God, and as we reject God, God allows us to slide deeper and deeper into our own illusions.
  One may believe that aliens from outer space seeded us, or played with our genetic code. Another may believe that everything arose by chance over a very long time. Others, try to recreate God or gods in their own image, or the images of beasts. There are those that even believe, or worship the planet Earth, and call her Gaia.
  What is it that you believe? What is the Truth?  Can truth be relative, or is it exclusive?  I invite you to start to question, to start looking for the Truth. If you do, he promises to show himself to you.

Thank you for your time

To God be the Glory
