    <p>2025 has been quite the transformative year for Retronauts: Following our <a href="https://retronauts.com/article/2350/retronauts-episode-666-the-80s-satanic-panic">episode 666</a> that delved into the Satanic Panic, we tackled <a href="https://retronauts.com/article/2360/retronauts-episode-672-attack-dethrone-god-book-11">episode 672</a> focused on the representation of Christianity in video games, especially the idea of challenging deities instead of worshipping them. Of course, this discussion was too rich for just one episode, so we're continuing it this week.</p>

    <p>Host <a href="https://www.patreon.com/gamespite/">Jeremy Parish</a> leads a conversation with guests <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/nadiaoxford.bsky.social">Nadia Oxford</a>, <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/shivambhatt.bsky.social">Shivam Bhatt</a>, <a href="http://www.the-isb.com/">Chris Sims</a>, and <a href="https://linktr.ee/benitocereno">Benito Cereno</a> about the sacred and profane elements in video games. Could there be a third book in the series? We just might need to call George Burns' agent!</p>

    <p><em>Join Jeremy Parish, Nadia Oxford, Chris Sims, Benito Cereno, and Shivam Bhatt as they explore the complex relationship between video games and the concept of "God."</em></p>
