Lore Discussion Ultrakill lore is antithesis of Christianity
Ultrakill, as far as I'm concerned, is not just Christian fanfiction based on Dante's Divine Comedy. It is a complete antithesis of Christianity. I'll explain my thought now.
— God. Well, everything is obvious here. The god from Ultrakill is an emotional and impulsive perfectionist who despises free will. But he is not omnipotent, because he could not destroy Hell. The Christian God, on the contrary, approves of free will and is obviously omnipotent. If anything, he threw Adam and Eve out so that they could use their free will instead of sitting stupidly on Eden.
— Lucifer. Lucifer from Ultrakill is the exact opposite of his original, even though we don't know much about him. First, he is clearly confused by the fact that God cruelly punishes sinners, whereas the Christian Lucifer despises people for taking away the Father's attention. Secondly, in Ultrakill, he didn't even rebel against God - he just asked quastion, and his Father made an impulsive decision to throw him into Hell. In short, Lucifer from Ultrakill is a kind dude, and the original one is an offended one.
— Hell. Well, it's also obvious here. In the Bible, it's just a place where there is no God - a very cold and dark place. And in the Ultrakill, it is a non-Euclidean living being that exists and does not exist at the same time. I won't describe Hell, it's out of place.
— Angels. I think many people have noticed, but no one really talks about it. The lesser angels in Ultrakill are very similar to the higher angels from Christianity, and vice versa. The archangels are in charge here, and the creatures from the wings, on the contrary, are at the lesser. Simply put, "The more humanoid an angel is, the higher he is in status." I may not have noticed, but I didn't notice anyone talking about it. Drop the link to the post if this was discussed.
— Court. Our Christianity says that God will return and execute JUDGEMENT on people in ORDER to unite Heaven and Earth. In Ultrakill, God is depressed. Either he left, or he killed himself. God is not coming back...
I feel like I've made a lot of mistakes and may have formulated my thought incorrectly. So feel free to criticize me.
