There's a part of me that mourns the loss that I'll never be able to connect with religion properly as all of my religious friends can, but it's media like FAITH that lets me interact and grapple with the ideas in a way that doesn't trigger my flight or fight response. So glad Airdorf is such a cool dude in that aspect.

[@Moofshire]

It sounds a tad bit corny, but Faith got me thinking about religion again. I played the game when I was still agnostic, not knowing if I truly believed in God or not. Faith getting me interested in religion again made me do some personal exploration. And now I am a believer again. To think, a game with Atari graphics influenced me to the point where I converted.

It’s not silly at all! A lot of people have a very childish view of spirituality, and it DOES turn away a lot of people. This game goes into detail of the deep elements of Christianity and the real horrors involved with Lucifer, demons, and sin itself with it taints our free will. Demons are HORRIFYING, and it’s really awesome to see Christians highlighting the very dark realities that exist in the physical world.

@@matthewblackledge5464 Your first sentence is false. If someone doesn’t have enough information to determine what they define is knowledge, then they are lukewarm. (they can also be lukewarm if they are slightly above room temperature, like a newly dead body!) Your second sentence is an assertion that you didn’t provide rational justification for claiming as knowledge. Your third sentence is false, because it assumes that, “because you don’t know this one thing, you can’t know anything!” - That’s a logical fallacy! Your fourth sentence was built upon the third, and is flawed due to the transitive property of logic for that reason… but I will let it slide as observation. Your fifth sentence is also false. I have a lot more confidence in my knowledge that I am speaking English right now than I am that Jesus really cursed a fig tree. belief and knowledge are not the same thing but they are related: all knowledge is belief - but not all belief is knowledge.

God Bless. It's not super easy for Christians either, I have times when I don't "feel it". But that's OK, merely having uncertainties and bad feelings isn't a sin. I've decided just to trust Him and face the unknown (to me, anyway) future one day at a time. 'Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof". Luke 12:6-7 is a favourite if mine as well - God cares about and pays attention to even something as small as a single sparrow, so He surely will not ignore us, His beloved.

That's because the voice saying "FIGHT IT, JOHN" isn't Satan, it's God (or a guardian angel).

Also, Satan is named "The Father of All Lies", and he WAS one of God's most beautiful archangels before he fell, taking a third of all the angels down with him. So to summarize: Satan took the form of the being of light during the initial exorcism, and the voice is actually God (or his guardian angel) telling John to fight the demon during the Alu fight.

If there are any two people that I've been longing to hear talk to each other, it's Wendigoon and Airdorf. FAITH was one of my most favorite horror game series and I'm glad I could finally hear him talk about it with one of my most favorite youtubers! :)

[@-EJ-]

Of course I wait all day and this finally gets posted right as I’m about to leave for church.

[@jamesmancuso7314]

Kickass. I loved the Faith trilogy, looking forward to digging into this interview.

[@jeankofmorales8892]

i'm 10 minutes into the interview and hearing airdorf talk has unlocked memories of me as a kid falling asleep listening to interviews/talkshows on my dingy $1 battery fm radio from a garage sale back in like 2010 lmao, oddly nostalgic, thank you

[@xannyvibin653]

there’s something so beautiful about two people having a genuine mutual respect and understanding of one another.

[@teehee5685]

Watched the whole stream of you playing this, super hype for the deep dive!!!!

[@fetteranton]

Thanks for this interview! Though I ain't religious, I love that the both of you discussed the game and its relevancy to your experiences with being practicing Christians. Really sheds a light on the nuances of the game and gives a perspective I couldn't have been able to understand myself.

Every time I saw Michael my brain would recite the “skitters toward you on all fours” post

[@MarioRodriguez-sf7ig]

I think Faith is a fantastic piece of art, be it as a critical piece, or otherwise, however Airdorf being so upfront and so intelligent with his wording and his intentions with the game is so damn refreshing, the game never comes off as preachy or "love god or else" messages that a lot of judeochristian media has, and the fact that Father Garcia, a Spanish speaking man wearing a cross made of wood that has forsaken the clerical order in order to fight the actual threats that harm actual people is so very like the typical Mexican small town old father, tired, grumpy, but understading of man and his plight. Fantastic stuff Wendigoon, thank you for the interview.

[@snappyllamas]

1:19:03 was my favorite part, the cut off was great.

[@lunymoon4684]

Ngl the funniest part of this interview

[@l_ukers]

I can’t wait for faith to hopefully get a boost like blood meridian, it absolutely deserves it!

[@monny_qq]

Faith is definitely my favorite horror game of all time and it's so nice to see that Airdorf is such an incredibly creative and amazing person! The interview was great, love both of you guys

[@clarencegutsy7309]

I bought this purely because it is such a breath of fresh air to have a game out there that actually gives Christianity proper shine. Not some corrupt or villainous religion like so many enjoy portraying them as, but one of humility and unwavering devotion even in the face of great evil. Excellent work.

[@Stoicbjj]

It’s now apparent that airside played with his daughter today and that makes my day better even though it was already good

[@batdogduke]

I love how you and Airdorf just geeked out over various topics throughout this interview, it was so fun to listen to!

[@thetravelingbard9178]

Was literally in the middle of watching his faith play through when I got the notification

[@mistyxwyx1]

One of the scariest games I've ever played, well done Airdorf you're amazing as always!!!

[@BenitoD3LAisla]

I don’t think airdorf will ever read this but I just wanna say thank you for sharing with us this piece of art.

[@bigdeathpaws4964]

I like the idea of the cross country game with John and Garcia bc that would kinda be like Oregon Trail like he described it as to his family. Very good interview, he seems like a great dude.

[@thatonedude243]

This timing for me was wild. I just started listening to the Chilluminati podcast a couple weeks ago while I work and just listened to the Airdorf episode last Thursday, picked up Faith after that, and played it over stream with my friends over the weekend when this interview comes out so I can listen to it at work on Monday.

[@Stery0typical]

John quoting, “faith without works is death also,” was such a well written moment. You can interpret it as John grimly acknowledging his failure to stop Gary. A dark acceptance that he tried so hard but ultimately was not strong enough. Didn’t truly believe in himself. Or, you can see it as John mocking Gary knowing that even if he dies he finally has his faith in himself again and he only got that far because he had finally redeemed himself.

[@The_Cosplaying_Froggy]

55:53 had me laughing so hard. Just the way that he says it while laughing was funny to me. Love your content wendigoon, you're the best! And remember Gary loves you!

[@Dietchapstick]

1:49:14 you can pinpoint the moment when wendigoon completed his transformation into Owen Wilson

[@brodyun-heroichero3498]

Super Miriam was easily my favorite part of the trilogy- I was so exasperated after fighting the first two forms that when I got hit during the finale I sat back in my chair in frustration only to jolt forward again upon realizing I wasn't dead. John's prayer during that final boss gave me goosebumps, it gave me that second wind I needed to push on

[@samfroggeh]

FAITH will always have a special place in my heart because it was my barrier to entry with Horror games in general. I'll always appreciate Airdorf for giving me the courage (by scaring the crap outta me) to try more games. If anyone is aiming to try the Good Christian Boy challenge - I wish you luck!

[@AGreenSquidKid]

As a Christian, the CHILLS I got when ya'll said the 2nd death means SPIRITUAL DEATH. Also I think the symbolism of a PERSON becoming a portal to hell is so cool

[@zebra972]

here in Argentina to this day, I still find shrines to san la muerte in some streets where people do not usually pass like close to some train tracks or lonely sections in parks, I even know a family that they wont let their kids invite friends inside because all of the decorations to san la muerte they have there

[@hotfuzz4416]

1:19:12 Airdorf Is man after my own heart. lmao that was amazing!

[@czarlotte]

as soon as i first heard about faith: the unholy trinity, i knew wendigoon would love it!! so excited for the main channel video now!!!

[@Kazoeyy]

I'm Jewish and I absolutely adore this game. I love how respectful it is towards religion, but still manages to be one of the most terrifying things I've ever played. It's also neat seeing this demon that's present in both Judaism and Christianity.

[@explodingegg123]

very excited to watch through this all. i became obsessed with faith last year (although it only lasted a week lol) and i still think about it some. im broke so i couldn't play it, so i watched the stream vod of you playing it. uh anyways, i hope everyone reading this comment is having a good day

[@dirtycheeto4350]

my favorite part of the interview is when he said "its dorfing time" and airdorfed all over the audience

[@2kdavv]

Oh man what a trip, I played Faith a while ago and I really loved this game, it was really unique and I felt it did the retro presentation really well. Another relatively indie horror game that blew me away was Signalis, it plays like an old Resident Evil/Silent Hill type of game (heavily inspired) but has an atmosphere totally of its own. Super mind boggling at times and a LOT of questions even after playing multiple times. Would love to see if you’d cover it I think it deserves all the recognition possible. Awesome work as usual ❤️

[@maya993]

I've been thinking about this game all week so seeing this upload today felt like a gift.

[@maya993]

Humans were not meant to know about the Crazy Bus cameo. This forbidden knowledge will haunt me for the rest of my life.

[@limepop340]

was literally thinking about faith lore this morning, what a delightful surprise

[@hahaha1171]

Love how his wife is like "games are dumb" and is now in a video game

[@josephmcwhorter1793]

Even as a kid when I went to church I never really believed. Listening to Wendigoon and now Airdorf talk about their faith - beginning with the main channel video on FAITH - has been the closest I've come in a long time to returning to Christ. And now really believing. Top-tier sunday school teachers.

[@crimson.warlock]

Airdorf telling us that future faith stuff will be similar to resident evil or silent hill, as a survival horror fan, has made me extremely excited. Maybe Garcia’s “methods” of fighting demons will have a bigger role?

[@cursedbeasts9991]

well the drunk guy sure needed.....the spirits.....exorcised from his body.

Congratulations brother🗣‼️

[@user-ne4pm8cg3t]

I’m gonna have to touch base with Airdorf someday he seems super chill 👌 the amount of super intricate and interesting details he includes in these games make you really appreciate the craftsmanship and creativity he brings.

[@dethbyfatgoats7627]

Now I need to go rewatch the entire play through again.

[@collector7040]

I was a little bit skeptical about christianity but when I finished faith i knew i want to become christian, thanks airdorf, you changed my life

[@blackosprey2219]

I really appreciate that Airdorf used religion as more than just an easy aesthetic for his scares. So many indie horrors that use religious themes just have demons and Satan or maybe some Divine Comedy or Revelations references and nothing deeper.

[@teazen_tea]

The conversation about cloths and time period is something ive heard a lot in costuming! Its someting ive been trying to say for ages! Really cool that it was taken into acount

[@stellart5664]

35:00 agnostic here; I’m not turned off by the geeking out. You’re passionate about your religion and I like hearing people talk about what they’re passionate about. So to me I’m just sitting here listening and just enjoying the conversation. I was raised Roman Catholic so that might have something to do with it😅

Man. This channel keeps on giving.
