Doesn't have to target practicing or devout christians to be effective Christian propaganda. Most people in NA are culturally christian and nearly half believe in ghosts. I watched them recently in search of some junk-food horror and out of curiosity of its success. The first one is a blatant villification of women who get abortions and the second one is about apostasy. They specify that the spirits of people who are the cause of this harm are ones that commit sins, they're evil because they aren't christian. In both films, the solution was for the Warrens to deepen their faith or flex it to overpower the demons not through action or change but pure faith. These narratives very strongly reflect a Christian upbringing where authority must be respected at all costs and faith in inaction is more valuable than active change that may bring criticism to systems of power.

This is of course ignoring that Ed Warren was a grooming pedo pos. He and Lorraine were scammers that hated each other and are on record multiple times purposefully manipulating christian iconography and values to the benefit of their stories. The fact they're portrayed as so devout is to lend credence to their roles as heroes in these stories.

Have you ever watched them? They're straight up Christian propaganda. It isn't surprising they've done well.

Except reddit has also gotten more fascist in the past year because of bots and emboldened chuds.

Yeah it is a shame that this alternative to reddit seems to have attracted a lot of the dudes who made that site so obnoxious.

May update made my pc bluescreen and stop detecting RAM. I rebooted my bios and was searching for a new mobo before rolling back updates because of how insane it seemed that an update could fuck up that badly. I fucking hate US tech.

This is why you can't argue on their terms. They don't care about what makes sense, they just want to maximize value of your sickness and death
