Meh
I'm not really a religious guy, but the animation wasn't half bad.
Reviews for "THE CROSS pt.1 of 2"
It's okay
The animaion wasn't half bad, don't see why it's rated as mature though. There is one thing though, i believe that no religion is the right one, but I do belive in something but definetly not a christian god, but thats just what belive in. keep up the the good animation!
Not suitable for NG
The main problem about religion is that once you assume that only yours is right, all the others are consequently wrong. I don't believe in almost anything you've said, and I have to be constantly reminded by my christian neighbors about God's love, humankind imperfection and the need to atone for all my sins, regardless of my will to do so ( they have REALLY loud speakers, and no respect with others sleep time at all) or to actually believe in all that. I really don't like that kinda of thing, to uncomfortably force everyone your religious point of view, and when I enter NG, I expect to find an exciting game, a well done animation, something funny even, but not this.
That said, I respect your right to believe in whatever you want to (as I want mine respected as well), but I just don't think that NG is the place to state your beliefs. I've never seen an animation here defending atheism, Buddhism, agnosticism or whatever choice of faith one might have, and that's because Newgrounds is used by people from all kinds of countries and cultures, including the ones that don't have to believe in Christ or God. In respect for all those people, I'm going to rate you down. The animation was nice, your voice (was weird at first, to be honest) matched things reasonably well, but the content is too delicate to be put for everyone like this. It's like trying to seriously discuss about euthanasia in a stand up comedy show. If I wanted a sermon about the creation of mankind by the christian point of view, I'd have opened a virtual bible, Genesis book.
Please don't get me wrong. I appreciate the general (and original) Christian idea, of being a nice person and loving everyone, regardless of their color, wealth, social condition and stuff. I also DO believe that we must try to be better people in order to have a decent place to live in. I just don't think, I shall reiterate, that something so personal as religion (specially when it involves someone affirming one belief over others) should be discussed here.
Four stars for the animation and effort, though.

You can't force someone to be a Christian. And if you do they won't be a Christian for long.
Thanks for reviewing ;)
?????
there is no truth to who created us the reason for this is that man only created a god and or gods to not feel alone in the vast universe we call home and the reason im typing this is is for the purpose to tell all that life is but a dream an the afterlife is waiting for us to wake up to begin the greater journey ahead of us all these religions are nothing but lies told to us to keep us in line everything you know is all but a lie death is our true awakening and is awaiting us all to embrace it
nahtanojmal responds:
If life is a dream, what is wrong with me believing God made the world. Can't anything happen in a dream? If everything I think and believe is wrong, it wouldn't matter (according to your belief), because death is the beginning of a greater journey.
If we are all kept in line, what does that matter in this life if the greater journey is after death.
But if God is real and yes indeed the next life is the more real. God's wrath will be upon all who rejected Him. May God's wrath awaken you and God's love convert you.
