Five Nights at Freddy’s: Scott Cawthon & Christian Video Games

They tried to make video games for Jesus… and accidentally invented demon-possessed animatronics instead. Turns out the road from Christian propaganda to FNaF horror mega-hit is shorter than expected. Before creating Five Nights at Freddy’s, Scott Cawthon spent years making christian movies and video games designed to glorify god. Critics said his characters were too creepy… so he leaned into it and launched one of the biggest horror franchises in gaming history. From there, things get weird. This episode explores the strange world of Christian video games, the moral panic around gaming, and the not-at-all hypocritical outrage over pixels, boobs, violence, and Satan. This week, we’re digging into: *  The FNaF origin story: how a scary animatronic beaver led to Freddy Fazbear  *  The Scott Cawthon controversy: politics, donations, and reputation detonation  *  The “holy” hustle: the rise and collapse of Left Behind Games and Digital Praise (including SEC fraud allegations)  *  Bizarre moral logic: why gaming violence is “silly” but a cartoon boob is a one-way ticket to hell  *  “Seducing children”: decoding Satanic panic rhetoric from Christian game CEOs  *  The Hollywood factor: what the Josh Hutcherson movie gets right about child murder  Whether you're here for the FNaF lore or the spectacular failure of the Christian video game industry, this one’s for you.

Aleister Crowley

Aleister Crowley — occultist, poet, mountaineer, possible spy, lifelong drug addict, and self-declared Beast 666. Depending on who you ask, he was either a visionary spiritual thinker… or a deeply unserious man doing sex rituals in the desert and calling it enlightenment. In this episode, we dive into Crowley’s own words — from The Book of the Law to Magick in Theory and Practice — and try to figure out what the hell he was actually on about (chemically and philosophically). Along the way: *  “Do what thou wilt” — self-actualisation or just terrible advice?  *  Sex magick, demon summoning, and the world’s least convincing “guardian angel”  *  The invention of Thelema (aka start your own religion, get laid)  *  Crowley’s obsession with Satan, symbolism, and sounding profound  *  The connection between occultism, ego, and modern New Age nonsense  *  Why conservatives AND spiritual grifters both end up accidentally agreeing with him  *  And how a heroin addiction + imagination = “spiritual revelations”  We also look at how Crowley helped shape modern occult culture, conspiracy thinking, and the long tradition of people mistaking confidence for truth. Because at the end of the day, Crowley didn’t discover hidden knowledge… He just said weird shit loudly enough that people wrote it down.

Video Games Can't Quit Hell

Is there such a thing as too much Satan in a video game? From the demon-slaying chaos of Devil May Cry, to the time EA faked a Christian protest and sent reviewers Rick-rolling “bombs,” we’re diving into gaming’s unholy obsession with Hell. This week, Judas and Lexi unpack why developers keep turning the afterlife into a boss fight — including how a bored Resident Evil 4 development team accidentally created the Devil May Cry franchise, why EA relied on fake outrage to sell Dante’s Inferno, and the deeply normal world of Shin Megami Tensei, where God and Lucifer basically run competing apocalypse cults. We also uncover The Turtle Truth: why Bowser is technically a Japanese “Great Demon King” and what that means for your childhood.

Book of Revelation 07: The Rapture & the 144,000- Heaven’s Exclusive Guest List

What if Heaven had a strict guest list… and you’re probably not on it? In this episode, we dive back into the chaotic fever dream of the Book of Revelation - specifically Chapter 7 — where John of Patmos introduces one of the Bible’s weirdest and most misunderstood ideas: the 144,000 “chosen ones.” You’ve probably heard of the Rapture. You’ve probably been told Christianity is “open to everyone.” Yeah… about that....
