Is Call of Duty Promoting Satanism? A Look Into the Dark Side of the Gaming Industry

What’s up, Dot Connectors? Today, we’re diving into a topic that’s been on my mind for a while. The music and film industries have long been criticized for their blatant promotion of satanic imagery and themes. But what about the gaming industry—a billion-dollar industry that often escapes scrutiny despite making more money than the music and movie industries combined?

Gaming feeds directly into the reward center of your brain, releasing dopamine with every task completed or level conquered. This makes video games highly addictive and keeps players glued to their screens for hours, even days. And no franchise exemplifies this addictive grip more than Call of Duty (COD), one of the best-selling video game franchises of all time.

But Call of Duty isn’t just about fast-paced action or military strategy. Over the years, the franchise has incorporated increasingly blatant occult and satanic symbolism. The latest release, Modern Warfare III, might just be the most demonic installment yet.

The Numbers Don’t Lie: COD’s Massive Influence

For years, Call of Duty has dominated the gaming charts, taking the top spot for best-selling games in 2022, 2021, 2020, and 2019. It’s a cultural phenomenon, played by millions of gamers worldwide.

Yet, even as its influence grows, so does its dark side. From MK-ULTRA references to Illuminati imagery and demonic themes, Call of Duty seems to thrive on sneaking satanic messages into its gameplay.

Demonic Symbolism in Modern Warfare III

Released on November 10, 2023, Modern Warfare III comes with its own dose of occult symbolism. The title itself features the Roman numeral III, cleverly aligning with the date (11/10) to form the Freemason number 33.

From the moment you start the game, the occult references are hard to miss. The Modern Warfare III logo includes “As Above, So Below” symbolism—a phrase often associated with occult teachings. And if you win a match in Warzone, you might hear the unsettling line, “Dancing with the devil and living to tell the tale.”

The battle pass screen prominently features a devil or demon in the center, greeting players every time they log in. And for those who explore the in-game store, the first bundles available are drenched in satanic imagery—featuring characters modeled after Satan, demons, and false gods.

Even the seasonal events aren’t spared. Consider the Christmas-themed “Santa’s Slayground,” where the developers created a twisted version of Santa Claus with glowing red eyes and blood dripping from his mouth. Instead of cookies, it seems this version of Santa feeds on children.

The Role of Demonware

And if the imagery wasn’t enough, the online services for Call of Duty are hosted by a company called Demonware. The name alone raises eyebrows, but the fact that COD continues to lean into demonic themes with events and skins reinforces the notion that this is no coincidence.

A Community Plagued by Toxicity

Call of Duty has long been notorious for having one of the most toxic gaming communities. Players regularly hurl insults, threats, and curses at each other over the smallest disagreements. The game’s tagline even encourages this behavior with phrases like “Gear up fast, we’re about to get evil.”

This toxicity isn’t limited to adults—children and teenagers are often the loudest voices in these heated arguments. Sadly, many of these kids are mimicking behavior they’ve observed from adults.

To make matters worse, Activision has implemented AI to monitor in-game voice chats, claiming to curb bad behavior. But given the game’s encouragement of aggression, it feels more like a surveillance tactic than a genuine attempt to create a healthier gaming environment.

Addiction and the Psychological Grip of COD

Gaming, especially Call of Duty, is designed to be addictive. The constant rewards and achievements stimulate the brain’s reward center, releasing dopamine and making it difficult for players to stop.

• Gaming Addiction: The World Health Organization now recognizes “gaming disorder” as a legitimate mental health condition.
• Children at Risk: Many kids spend hours absorbing the game’s toxic behavior and satanic imagery. Parents must monitor both the games their children play and the amount of time they spend playing.
• Adults Aren’t Exempt: Gaming addiction isn’t just a problem for kids. Thousands, if not millions, of adults use games like Call of Duty to cope with stress, anxiety, and depression, often at the expense of their responsibilities.

Violence in Gaming and Its Spiritual Impact

Psalm 11:5 says, “The Lord examines the righteous, but the wicked, those who love violence, he hates with a passion.”

While playing violent games like Call of Duty doesn’t automatically turn someone into a violent person, it can trigger anger and frustration, even in the most peaceful individuals. The game’s competitive nature encourages players to seek revenge, repay insults, and feed into a cycle of negativity.

But as 1 Peter 3:9 reminds us: “Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessings, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing.”

It’s clear that games like Call of Duty can have a profound impact on our thoughts and actions.

The Invasion of Privacy

If the spiritual and psychological effects weren’t enough, the invasion of privacy should be alarming to everyone. Activision’s AI monitors everything players say in-game. Combined with the fact that devices like phones, TVs, and consoles already listen to us, this sets a dangerous precedent.

This kind of surveillance, normalized through gaming and entertainment, mirrors what’s happening in countries like China, where constant monitoring is used to control citizens.

A Call to Action for Parents and Gamers

For parents, it’s vital to monitor what games your children are playing and how much time they’re spending on them. The satanic imagery, toxic language, and invasive privacy policies of Call of Duty make it clear that this isn’t just harmless entertainment.

And for gamers, it’s time to ask ourselves tough questions. Are we addicted to video games? Are we using them to escape real-life problems? Are we willingly ignoring the darker messages and themes because we enjoy the gameplay?

Final Thoughts: Is Call of Duty Satanic?

The evidence is overwhelming. From the blatant satanic symbolism to the toxic behavior it encourages, Call of Duty seems to be more than just a video game. It’s a reflection of a culture that has become desensitized to evil and addicted to entertainment.
