Excellent game(Very addictive game), but borderline um how to I put it ....oh "questionable religious content". By questionable it is really not that questionable......it is borderline..... 

Given I am not a religious person I do not care as a reflection of me, but I think it is better if any game Nintendo passes up for being too mature, it might as well be this one.

Is it anti or pro?

Given how it mostly shows how Isaac (the crying baby) is running for his life, it completely counters the message of atonement as portrayed in the book of Genesis. It also demonizes the event by portraying the binding as an unholy murder, whereas in the biblical story it was meant as a holy sacrifice. Ultimately Christianity explains this as a symbol of God's holy sacrifice of his only son, Jesus, for the sake of humanity. The game portrays it more as a demonic act.

It would be similar to depicting circumcision as a crime against babies. In other words, it's clearly anti.

Lol your last sentance, I think circumcision against babies should be a crime


Unless it poses health risks not having it done.
