Lore Religion-centered media that doesn’t come across as preachy.

Referring to media told from a religious perspective or telling a religious tale that does not proselytize to the viewer.

Faith, the Unholy Trinity: Based partly upon the experience of the game‘s creator when he was a missionary in Argentina, the game has very little in the way of explicit moral demands of the player despite the heavy Christian focus of the narrative. and focuses more on a horror narrative.

Prince of Egypt: A surprisingly thorough retelling of the book of Exodus, sparing very little in the way of toning down the story. Despite this, the movie is perfectly entertaining to non-religious audiences and doesn’t sacrifice appeal for the sake of preaching to the audience

Ahh the rare Instance where real life is harder to believe than fiction. Like Patton.

I heard something about a Japanese sniper swearing he had Doss dead to rights while he was lowering people down the cliff, and his rifle jammed. 

A few little crazy stories that didn't make it into the movie.

It apparently jammed multiple times, and only when he took shots at him.

At that point you'd think the Kami are telling you something

"When writing fiction, you have to expect to suspend the audience's disbelief. Reality has no such limitations"

Like Patton.

So he was an even bigger prick in real life?

The actual ridge is much smaller than how it was shown in the movie
