It's the kind of pedantry up with which most people do not put.

WHAT IN THE SEVEN FUCKS IS THIS SHITTING BOOK PRINTED ON
SOLID FUCKING GOLD? THE WOOD OF THE TRUE CROSS
I JUST WANT TO FINISH MY STORY ABOUT A MOON CRASHING CRAZY VAMPIRE AND THE KID WITH THE DEVIL AND VAGUE CHRISTIAN IMAGREY AND THIS SHIT IS FUCKING NUTS
It's clear that the game doesn't think highly of Christianity, what with the Judeo-Christian demiurge being the series' primary antagonist and all. To a typical Japanese person who lives steeped in Shinto and Buddhist religious concepts, I guess Christianity is all about wiping out a nation's native belief system and replacing it with the One Jealous God. In general terms, it's always been a source of strife and conflict. It's hard to argue with this view, but on the other hand, by focusing only on the fundamentalist, militant aspects, you don't get to see Christian orphanages or hospitals or homeless shelters (though even those have been tainted more than their share, I suppose). Eh... I'm not trying to defend anything here or spark a debate on religion, I guess I'm reflecting on how the game may be justified in focusing on the negatives exactly because its creators haven't really been exposed to what positives there are.
You forgot the part of the story where Guild, Thad, Brentai and I teamed up to defeat Lavos and retrieve the Booster Shield to enhance the Shuttle Craft so we could fly it into the Space Colony Eurasia to retrieve the Reboot Cluster to enhance the Reboot command
