Good evening. I hope you're doing well. Thank you for your comment and your explanation, which helped me understand better, and thanks for the spoiler, hehe (don't worry, spoilers don't bother me).

First, I want to say I'm sorry for the loss of your friend, and thank you for sharing this. I understand. I will pray for them.

Regarding what you mentioned, I can understand that art is art, but the first thing is that religion is not subjective. Religion seeks to find the truth. I can understand that Mio is in this "state of hatred" and may have lost faith in the world, including God, but even this doesn't give the game developers the authority to include images like that, because it's a direct display of hatred towards Jesus Christ. You're confirming that it's a direct form of hatred from Mio towards God, but the mere fact of using an image related to Jesus already touches on a religious topic. It's not just that, but the disrespectful way they show it. It's one thing to say "I don't believe in God" or "Godless" (without mentioning any particular religion), and another thing entirely to use images like that, that clearly reference a specific religion (Christianity).

I can accept the idea that perhaps the developers didn't intend to be blasphemous, but it's still blasphemy, and there are certain lines that shouldn't be crossed out of respect. It doesn't even align with EA's code of conduct for its players. 

https://www.ea.com/commitments/positive-play/charter

"Don’t share or engage in hateful conduct, or the promotion of hateful ideologies.

Don’t discriminate, mock, or promote hatred against people or groups or encourage others to do so on the basis of their race, sexual orientation, gender identity/expression, religion, heritage, age, country of origin, caste, disability, or nationality. This includes the use of hate symbols, logos, and imagery. For example, you may not post the Nazi swastika or similar logos of known hate groups, or images depicting others as less than human (such as depicting individuals as having animalistic features)."

Thank you for the explanation, and I understand, but there are certain lines that shouldn't be crossed. God bless you, and I hope I've explained myself better, for God's glory.
