Oh for fucks sake - are all you people really this naieve?

The satanic imagery is just the style of the artwork in the game. I doubt
very much that anyone at ID is a devil worshipper. Speaking as someone who
holds no particular religious beliefs I can honestly say the 'satanic' look
doesn't bother me at all (don't believe in God, don't believe in the Devil)
but I do appreciate what they are achieving by using it.
The are giving the game a recognisable style - it ties in with work they
have done in the past and gives helps the game have 'brand recognition'.
Besides, I would have thought that all the 'God-botherers' amongst you
would have relished going around and killing heretics etc.
Try to remember - the graphics are there to give the game a certain mood
and a certain style, NOT to convey some meaningful religious significance.

Personally I find ID's graphics to be well crafted although if the only
games I owned were ID ones I would get bored of their brown & red palette!
