Of all the potential criticisms to level at BloodSpell, I have to say I never expected this one. Other members of the production or story teams may also weigh in on this one, but I'm going to try to address some of the specific concerns you have, as best I'm able.

Let me say before I begin that BloodSpell is not intended as a criticism of any specific real-world religion. If you felt that we were specifically targeting your own personal religious views, I can only apologise, whilst admitting to being totally baffled as to how you've reached that conclusion.

Let's try to go through each of the specific criticisms that you make. You refer multiple times to "the real scriptures". I'm going to have to assume that you mean the old and new testaments of the Holy Bible. If that's not the case, my rebuttals will be pretty meaningless, but I'm having to guess at your meaning somewhat, so I hope you'll forgive me.

(1) It's true that the old testament (King James onwards at least, when the ambiguity of translation was cleared up) forbids the deification and worship of any being other God. The Church of the Angels as it features in BloodSpell, though, is never portrayed as a religion that adheres to old testament beliefs. Indeed, since they are a fictional religious body which, if they exist at all, exist in a completely different fantasy world, it can be safely assumed that they have no knowledge of any religious texts from the real world. It therefore seems a little unfair to hold them to the same tenets you hold yourself.

(2) Not true. Abraham and Isaac. Also, see my rebuttal to point 1, most of which applies here too.

(3) We certainly never suggest that the demons that the Blooded are able to summon (or any of their other blood-magic abilities) are linked in any way to Satan. In fact, there's no mention of Satan, Jehovah, Yahweh, the Buddha, the Green Man or the Flying Spaghetti Monster. We never make even the most veiled allusion to any real-world religious figure at all.

(4) I can't offer any defense against this one, because I don't understand it.

(5) What hostilities? I really can't see how you've managed to tie the Catholic church into BloodSpell at all. Let me state for the record, as well, that Strange Company has no official policy of resentment towards the Catholic church.

(6) If I'm interpreting what you're saying correctly (and there's absolutely no guarantee of that), then this last point counters all your others. You're right, we don't 'attack "Catholics" or "Cardinals" or "priests" or "Popes"'. We don't even "attack" the church, as you claim. The Church of the Angels turns out to be slightly less clean cut that they make out, but they're not the "bad guys" of the film - it's far more complicated than that. Much more importantly, they're the Church of the Angels, not the Catholic church, or the Church of Jesus Christ, or any other church. We most definitely did not attack "everyone who holds to such a standard", and I resent the accusation. Not only have you woefully mis-interpreted the narrative of BloodSpell, but you've used your own ignorance to launch a personal attack on me, and on my friends and colleagues. I resent the attack, and rebuke it entirely.

I also find your use of the pejorative terms "homo", "spick", "nigger" and "wetback" deeply offensive. I'm not going to edit your post to remove them - anyone with an ounce of sense will ignore them - but I do want to make my abhorrence of such terminology abundantly clear.

We don't "bash" any of the above-mentioned groups. Nor do we "bash" Christians. We certainly do not call "all people who worship anything other than themselves, their own lusts, and their own power the enemy". We don't call anyone the enemy. The Blooded call the Church of the Angels the enemy. The Church calls the Blooded the enemy. our central characters don't have the luxury of such a clean-cut division. They call everyone, no-one, themselves and their friends the enemy at points during the film. Just like real life, BloodSpell is too complicated to be explained in childish terms of Yes and No.

I'm genuinely sorry you didn't enjoy BloodSpell, especially because you've so obviously missed the point of it, but I don't honestly feel that any of your criticisms have any validity.
