play same sprites different levels by eltiolavara9 TODAY, the best super mario world romhack ever! (comment sponsored by eltiolavara9)

Yes. I do listen to static and scary bible quotes on my free time

Seriously, how the hell do you come up with "Dogmatic Christian TV personified as a seraph made of TV static that screams recordings of preachers at you as you fight it" as a boss idea. I hope the people making these games get paid well.

Dogma is such a fucking awesome boss

Early game Isaac lore: My mom put me in a basement :( Late game Isaac lore:

who would have thought the true final boss of isaac would be *CHRISTIAN TV!?* but no seriously coolest boss ever 11/10

I like how the “Living in the Light” psalm is used almost as a chorus. The fact that they are actually delivered slightly different lends to the idea that Mom watched so much of this stuff that she was watching different preachers delivering the same psalms.

_Dogma:_ A set of rules, beliefs, or opinions laid down by a group, the members of which unquestionably follow it.

This boss made me realize how all of Isaacs nightmares are material, only Delirium and Dogma are concepts, the only fights where Isaac faces the actual problem

When the boss fight has lyrics, you know its super hard

Fun fact:dogmas sprite will actually start to become fuzzy like it encountered a signal error if you use an item like lodestone and magnetize dogma or it’s tv

The televangelists screaming overlayed with the guitars create this profoundly chilling effect. It kind of feels like you're going up against the wrath of a vengeful god.

2:53 is definitely the best part

Good job to whoever Ridiculon got to scream those Bible verses They did a super good job, especially with "BLASPHEMY AGAINST THE HOLY SPIRIT"

So the voice of god talking to Isaac's mother was a tv preacher all along

The boss' attack sounds actually made this soundtrack better. This fight's so damn good.

The fucking scariest thing about this, isn't the boss, or the fact that Isaac's mom was listening to an insane preacher the whole time... It's the fact that this was done so well, That I honestly thought they just took clips from Kenneth Copeland and threw them into the song because it sounded that accurate to him.

Pride, Greed, Wrath, Envy, Lust, Gluttony, Sloth... imagine if he'd summon the 7 deadly sins when that part hits!

Dogma, one of the perfect example of a True Final Boss that answers everything without speaking a word

2:37 - 3:00 The energetic list of the sins, the way he delivers the line after, blasphemy against the holy spirit, and the leitmotif of the main theme just harshly fuzzing around right after. Mmmm that is the kinda shit I like to hear in my boss music.

This theme is absurdly intense for what started as a little flash game about a crying baby fighting living poop and his mom lmfao. God I love this game.

BLASPHEMY AGSINT THE HOOLY SPIRIT edit: wtf my balls itch

The guy kinda sounds like spiderman when he says "YOU CAN'T ESCAPE ME, I'LL CHASE YOU TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH"

Wow, if this is what Isaac mom watched, no wonder her husband considered her insane.

This dlc is somethin else

Literally everything about this boss is fucking sick. The music, animations, attacks, sound effects, and those tv static brimstone attacks are just so cool to me.

This thing is scarier than any monster, demon or angel. Because it’s real.

“Yeah I listen to Christianrock.”

2:53 that doesn't sound like someone preaching, that sounds like an accusation. and i think that's utterly perfect

Televangelists being a boss fight, I approve.

Imagine if Dogma was the only REAL monster. Imagine a fallen angel hiding among the transmissions and the airwaves. Seeking to convince humans that it is God. Manifesting to drive people to perform evil acts in service to it. Isaac can see it, and sees his mother succumb to its maddening influence while being powerless to stop it. He can imagine fighting it and winning, but he can never undo how it destroyed his family.

THE ANGER OF GOOOOOD IS COOOOOOOOMING!

Damn, TBOI had some great moments but this shit literally gives me chills. I wonder why this is not the final boss, it would make perfect sense. This is where it all started and where it should end

The voice when it prepares to fire the static brimstone always gives me the chills

1 Jhon 1:7, 1:8, 1:9 (0:27) Matthew 12:31 (0:56) Colossians 3:5, 3:6 (1:11) 1 Corinthians 10:13 (1:25) Galatians 5:20, 5:21 (1:34) 1 Jhon 1:7 (1:50) Romans 6:23 (2:04) 1 Jhon 1:7, 1:8, 1:9 (2:14) 7 Deadly Sins (2:37) Isaiah 64:6 (2:44) Colossians 3:5 (2:59) 1 Corinthians 10:13 (3:12) Hebrews 10:13 (3:21) 1 Corinthians 10:13 (3:27)

I kind of like the idea that delirium is the boss Isaac gets if he doesn't open the chest and suffocates. While Dogma is the boss he gets if he actually pushes the lid open and ascends rather than delve deeper into his mind to escape the issues.

Dogma > the beast

Dogma is my favorite boss. Ever. The delivery, graphic and sound design, the music, the concept all of these things are executed perfectly. I knew whatever I was gonna encounter next was gonna be crazy when I saw the blue tint of the tv from the door on the left corridor but holy hell this was way better than anything I could have hoped. I mean take a look at the transition cutscene when you sleep in moms bed with static stuff. I LOVE how the background changes to this amazin ruined dark house, I love the chanting in phase 2 and when you defeat it that goddamn tv turn off effect jus made me blast serotonin up my ass. The team put so much love and effort and creativity in this boss and I feel as every other dev should care about their game as much as TBOI team has. Cheers Ed :D

god i have to memorize these lyrics AND START SCREAMING THEM ON VC WHEN MY FRIEND STREAMS ISAAC

the bible quotes behind the music while you’re trying to survive this bullet hell and intense boss is absolutely amazing, this game never fails to give such a strong atmosphere

dogma nuts

The first time I faced Dogma I had a lot of trouble Not only because he is hard for an average player like me, but also because I was too busy headbanging to this music

I love the way he screams "BLASPHEMY AGAINST THE HOOOOOOLLLLLY SPIIRRIIIITT!!" and "vengeance will be mine! I will repay! Says the Lord!"

It's amazing how much this game has matured since the flash version back in 2011

Dogma is amazing even without it's main concept Take out the main message and you still have a slimy anomaly made of the static contained in the TV, crawling away from the screen, shouting all your dogmas, your sole beliefs you cannot prove but you always follow in your life in the shape of the voices and/or words that showed you them for the first time.

Hands down, the best boss in the game. Great symbolism, great OST, 10/10

I can't believe they made a religion out of this game!

damn who could have guessed that christian broadcasts with static in the background would be such a banger

It’s so sad that Esau died to Dogma

I love how these guys can sound like hysterical preachers, it's so cool to me

B L A S P H E M Y

*B L A S P H E M Y A G A I N S T T H E H O L Y S P I R I T ! ! !* god, the way that line is delivered is fuckin R A W

THIS IS THE BEST BOSS. THE SYMBOLISM. THE FRANTIC FIGHT ITSELF. THE SICK AESTHETICS. THE SOUND DESIGN. AND WE FINALLY HAVE A BIBLICAL ANGEL. IT'S HORRIFYING. IT'S SACRED. IT'S A BEAUTY I HAD FEARED FOR YEARS INCARNATED. THEY'RE PERFECT.

POV: You're tainted lost and you're having a heart attack while simultaneously trying to dodge that bs spinning attack during the angel phase.

what's so unique about this theme is that it lacks the feeling of dread or regret in the other themes. This is a straight up brawl. And for good reason: The Home ending is Isaac realizing what the problem behind his suffering was. The Christian Broadcasts that made his mother turn to dogmatic abuse stemmed from religion as a coping mechanism. The problem wasn't Isaac's mother and not really his dad either. It was dogma. It was Dogma. And now, Isaac is going to purge that Dogma straight at the source.

I remember when I first fought Dogma and when I finally beat the TV phase and the lyrics kicked in the first thing I hear was “THE ANGER OF GOD IS COMIIING” and that alongside the angelic chorus that plays when Dogma goes into its second form still stays with me many fights later

I’m more than certain that Dogma is meant to be the False Prophet. I mean, we have The Beast, and obviously Satan and the Four Horsemen. All meant to instill fear, pain, and the breaking of spirits to anyone that would dare to refuse giving their entire being to their “lord”.

I can't tell if i like dogma or the beast better. They are both awesome fights.

“Believe in God, but question the teachings of Man.”

BUT IF WE ARE LIVING IN THE LIGHT AS GOD IS IN THE LIGHT THEN WE HAVE FELLOWSHIP WITH EACHOTHER AND THE BLOOD OF JESUS HIS SON CLEANSES US FROM ALL SIN IF WE CLAIM WE HAVE NO SIN WE ARE ONLY FOOLING OURSELVES AND NOT LIVING IN THE TRUTH BUT IF WE CONFESS OUR SINS TO HIM HE IS FAITHFUL AND JUST TO FORGIVE US OUR SINS AND TO CLEANSE US FROM ALL WICKEDNESS AND SO I TELL YOU EVERY KIND OF SIN AND SLANDER WILL BE FORGIVEN BUT BLASPHEMY AGAINST THE SPIRIT WILL NOT BE FORGIVEN IMPURITY LUST AND EVIL DESIRES DON’T BE GREEDY FOR A GREEDY PERSON IS AN IDOLATOR WORSHIPPING THE THINGS OF THIS WORLD BECAUSE OF THESE SINS THE ANGER OF GOD IS COMING NO TEMPTATION HAS OVERTAKEN YOU EXCEPT WHAT IS COMMON TO MANKIND AND GOD IS FAITHFUL HE WILL NOT LET YOU BE TEMPTED BEYOND WHAT YOU CAN BEAR FITS OF RAGE SELFISH AMBITION DISSENSIONS FACTIONS AND ENVY DRUNKENNESS OR***S AND THE LIKE I WARN YOU AS I DID BEFORE THAT THOSE WHO LIVE LIKE THIS WILL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD

I hope, with the release of Repentance, that The Binding of Isaac resurges into the limelight of critics and gaming awards.

As someone who grew up in a Christian household, went to Christian school K-12 this hits home. My parents got divorced because my dad has a drinking problem and stopped being Christian. My mom was and still is hardcore Christian. School was awful and all these types of things I’ve heard irl. It’s like a cult to me. Goddamn Ed, your hitting close to home bud. Keep it up, your giving me ideas.

Ed really went and made mom's Christian broadcasts from the television a boss. Fucking kudos.

this is basically those Televangalists combining together into a small static fetus thing, coming together to smite you with their craziness. yeah, no wonder Mom went crazy, and the Dad left. but we have to feel bad for them

You defeat the indoctrination that held you inside the box. Instead of rejecting it completely, you take it as a source of inspiration as the box around you shatters and you discover the power you hold over how things will truly be. And then your story finally ends... and many others begin.

NGL the people quoting the bible in the background sound like their having a lot of fun.

IMPUNITY, LUST, AND EVIL DESIRES These were the ingredients chosen to create the perfect SEXUAL IMMORALITY But GOOOOOD added an extra ingredient to the concoction: *BLASPHEMY AGAINST THE HOLY SPIRIT*

Other Bosses: - Same music - Redundant HP Bar - Okay moves - Could use a few buffs - Either a pile of flesh or just poop Dogma: - Fucking awesome music - Beautiful static HP Bar - Never seen before move-set - Actually puts up a challenge - Shifts from a small fetus/microphone to a biblically accurate angel

This is a remix of the normal boss theme. AAAAAAAAAAAA

You know the song is sick when it uses static as a beat

"You need to watch more Christian Television!" Christian Television: Jokes aside, this was the best boss fight music.

ah yes my three favorite sounds: • cool ass basslines • television static • screams of biblical salvation

I loved the feeling fighting him the first time and hearing the music like "Well, i'm fucked."

BEST CHRISTIAN SONG TO SING ALONG WITH YOUR FAMILY 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

This song is straight up 3 minutes and 44 seconds of nonstop goosebumps

2:37 "PRIDE, GREED, WRATH, ENVY, LUST, GLUTTONY AND SLOTH-"

Shoutout to Dogma for being the coolest fucking character concept ever in media in ways of portrayal and concept Isaac's Mother looked onto these tele-evangelical channels more highly than she did her own son. It would make sense why it's a fetus of static, as I'm sure Isaac just thinks Mother has more love in these preachy antics than him Also the theme fucking goes off despite not being anything crazy. It doesn't need crazy to tell the story of why this thing is "bad" It's just jumbled ramblings of a crazy preacher. Chopped speeches that are almost in a sense brainwashing with how they are explained I'm fully convinced Isaac's Mother didn't hear a legitimate Angel, but was so numbed to these channels that she took their statements to HEART. Putting pieces together in her head to make the decisions that were supposedly an Angel's requests to make God happy. Isaac sees it as a enemy because it turned his Mothers mind into the static it is smothered in. With a sickening halo on top

The quote "BLASPHEMY AGAINSTS THE HOLY SPIRIT!!" is absolute best

i think this boss is proof that execution matters more than how original the idea is if you asked me in 2014 what i thought the final-for-real-seriously-actually-final-this-time boss of isaac would be, i would probably guess some manifestation of the christian broadcasts that isaac's mother watched, i might have even been able to predict some sort of ascent sequence into something like the home bit but holy shit i had CHILLS the whole way up. what a fucking amazing finale to this decade-long experience edmund roped us all into

I did my best to type out all the lyrics. Most of what is said in this isn’t too accurate to the actual verses, but I did what I could so hopefully this helps! But if we are living in the light, as God is in the light, then we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, Cleanses us all from sin If we claim we have no sin, we are only fooling ourselves, and not living in the truth, but if we confess our sins to Him, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all wickedness And so I tell you, every kind of sin is standing to be forgiven, the blasphemy against the spirit will not be forgiven Impurity, lust, and evil desires. Don’t be Greedy, for a Greedy person is an idolater, worshipping the things of this world Because of these sins, THE ANGER OF GOD IS COMING No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear Fists of Rage, Selfish Ambitions, Dissensions, Factions, and Envy. For ugliness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, then we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, Purifies us all from sin For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Jesus Christ our lord But if we are living in the light, as God is in the light, then we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, Cleanses us all from sin If we claim we have no sin, we are only fooling ourselves, and not living in the truth, but if we confess our sins to Him, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all wickedness PRIDE, GREED, WRATH, ENVY, LUST, GLUTTONY AND SLOTH So put to death the sinful earthly things lurking within you. Have nothing to do with sexual immorality BLASPHEMY AGAINST THE HOLY SPIRIT All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us away No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear Vengeance is mine! “I will repay,” says the lord There hath no temptation taken you but as is common to man, but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above all

2:53 This line and how it's spoken is the epitome of how I imagine evangelicals going on about how "fictional demons are encouraging kids to sin!"

As a fan of The Binding of Isaac who is also a Christian. This has to be my favorite boss fight. The reason being is that Dogma represents the lunatics who use the bible to put themselves in a high position of power by using fear to trick people who don’t know better. These lines being from the bible represents that because most of these are taken out of context thus creating a whole new meaning. People like this however are a minority and many Christians including myself have tried to help people understand this is not what Christianity is supposed to be. Were a religion built on love and peace not fear. Isaac’s mother is an accurate depiction of what happens when you devote yourself to this Dogma. My goodness, This game is an absolute masterpiece. Edit: This is why I never share my religion on the internet. Please wear a hazmat suit when entering the reply section for this comment. It’s for your safety. And if your going there to reply to my comment trying to deconstruct my religion, please actually criticize my religion and not the church. There two completely different things and please read my comment. I literally said evangelists are almost all terrible people thus I’m most likely not an evangelist. Actually please do criticize my religion. I love having my views challenged and my philosophies changed which will make me a better person.

I like the part where he yelled

I love listening to static, beeping, and aggressive bible quotes at 1 am

pov: you just spawned inside dogma as tainted lost

Idk much about this game but if Dogma of fundamentalist televangelist is the true evil in the game, that’s actually genius.

Probably one of the only songs that has Bible quotes as Lyrics.

The best boss music in the game. Hands down.

IDEA: Given how the music mentions the 7 deadly sins in the lyrics, how about if you hold book of sins in the Beast fight, instead of the Horsemen you would fight Ultra versions of the remaining sins? (Not counting Greed and Pride)

i was listening this with earbuds and the preaching felt like it was moving from left to right. i wonder if this is how isaac felt, constantly surrounded by insane preachings of God.

Mother & The Beast are great but Dogma is pretty easily my favorite boss now

Edmund put everything into Dogma, reason why Beast sucks as a bossfight lmaoooo

2:52 you came for this, i think. no need to like.

Everybody gangster until VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY, SAYS THE LORD

I am so grateful for this game. I can't tell you the existential crises i was subjected to with in church and sunday school as a child. Not saying religion is bad, but when i was Christian i was living in fear.

Turns out a lot of my burning thoughts have already been written by other people, so here's a quote from another game that seems appropriate to The Point™ that this fight is making: `Believing in religion ain't the problem, dear. Belief adds hope and meaning to life. The problem comes when folks try to control those beliefs. That's just being a bad person, and it don't take a religion to make those.'

I had no idea televangelists scare people into listening to them like that.

I realise now that this is a remix of Crusade (Rebirth's basic boss OST), which the Challenge Room theme (Ambush) also did. Listen to the guitar riff at the start, and listen to the start of crusade. It's the same!

Someone: "this song is bad" Me: 2:53

This song slaps so good! Repent all of ya!
