I can't imagine such a cute, crying kid telling god off. XD But, I thought of BoI too when I saw it!

(Well, I take that back.. I can imagine Isaac at the end, the messed up, fly infested, dead dog/cat head holding, Isaac telling god to bite him.)

Have you seen the 'over-analyzing' interpretation of the game's plot?

Mind = blown, etc.

Ick. That starts with conjecture and builds from there.

After reading the whole thing, I think that was kind of what he was going for. He wasn't trying to write the official story, but simply to create a somewhat plausible backstory that sets up the game's premise and the variety of items that you come across.

I always assumed that it was meant to be left open to interpretation. Any sort of plot is vague and really only used to give a general 'theme' to the game that allows for a variety of items and monsters.

I'm not exactly playing dungeon crawlers for the plot. It serves only a sort of justification for what is going on.

I am not denying I thought of BoI before even noticing from what sub this post came from
