Thoughts on an old comment I found

This was a comment on an old post asking about if it was sinful for fiction to have fictional gods

I’ve made another comment elsewhere, but you do realize the 3 examples you gave are of alternate realities that mimic (blaspheme) Gods reality.
LOTR: Sauron = the magical undead supreme ruler with the power to see everywhere and created objects so powerful to CHANGE people
Star Wars: the force is the strangest twisting of the true POWER of the Spirit of God, but instead of God wielding the power, force sensitive humans wield the power (blasphemy)
The games: literally all of the major storylines are surrounded by gods ruling over the worlds. Do you want to be in a world that is ruled by demons, because if you put your actual human mind into that game, I promise you that’s definitely not accomplishing this:
Romans 12:1-2 (NKJV) 1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, [which is] your reasonable service. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what [is] that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
So we can argue how bad or not bad some stuff is but I’m sorry all the examples here are utter blasphemy to God, it’s just VERY WELL HIDDEN and the masses drink it down like a gulp of poison, without even realizing they are dulling their senses to the voice of the Spirit from our Heavenly Father.
If you want God as a side dish, then you ask these types of questions, if you want Him as the main course but are struggling to let go of some stuff, that’s another story.
PS I have struggled with all those things mentioned so I’m not on my high horse, but when I get stuck in the weeds of this stuff, I NEED a faithful servant of God telling me how it is (TY God for sending them) and quite frankly… only then do I wake up from my spiritual stupor.
God bless.

It obviously reads of a somewhat over-scrupulous person, but it does make me(and my religious ocd brain) wonder. Is it blasphemous to come up with fictional worlds that differ from the real world, because it’s coming up with a reality different then the one God created? Thus in a way “scorning” the world God actually made? I’d be lying if I said I wouldn’t rather live the Pokemon world, for example.
