Christians Attack "Gay Agenda" in PC Game
- Thread starter The_root_of_all_evil
- Start date
Personally I became gay when I put a blue peg in my car while playing the Game of Life. I mean, I saw two blue pegs and thought "Well if they can do it, so can I!"
I also stole a car after playing GTA 4, tried to fly off a building after seeing Superman, and tried to eat enough pills to see and eat ghosts in a hedgemaze. I also then tried to have sex with the ghost, since one was blue and reminded me of the peg in the Game of Life.

If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found; Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days. Deuteronomy 2:22-29Aerodyamic said:
I would find it ironic if they added this to the Game of Life to appease the woman.
Surely you could just say something alone the lines of "Because some women like to marry other women, and someone women don't."? I mean, you don't have to go into full-specifics about it, just as you wouldn't if you're kid asked about why women marry men.squid5580 said:
I was using "was" as a statement that the thread had devolved from a news thread into a "HUR BASH BASH BASH" flame-fest.The_root_of_all_evil said:
Not that that's your fault: you were just reporting an incident that occurred and happened to use a title that has obviously led some to jump to conclusions. That's more why I don't like the title, but at least now I understand you meant nothing by the wording of it.
This Christian Conservative says hello. So... Generalize things you don't understand much?Danman1 said:
One woman is not indicative of all Christianity. If a person (speaking generally here) is too stupid to figure this out, I hold little hope for them.
Also, you post a swear, but censor it? You're already blatantly insulting an entire group of people, I fail to see how adding a "u" makes your statement any more obnoxious or ignorant than it already is. Perhaps this is a feeble attempt to avoid moderation while simultaneously blasting an entire group, either for personal reasons unexplained or the actions of a single woman?
Hahaha, it'll be a cold day in Hell before they remove a feature like that.
No, really. It will.
Jokes aside, there's really no point in even giving this woman attention. She's objecting to what is essentially a board game mechanic, with a technical opening for gay marriage, as though anyone would have cared before it was "technological".
There is a deep-set fear in a great filthy section of the conservative community of anything new or changable. So, they hate: technology, pacifism, social democracy, science and that "hippie" concept of the environment. Good luck talking sense to people who fear an idea and close to it before even learning the details.
This mother is definitely a part of that cowardly group, unable to even tell the child what homosexuality is at that age just because she's squeamish. The girl will probably hear what it is on her first day of school anyway, and if so she'll miss out on proper information as a result of this. It's a textbook case of useless ideology, useless parenting.
I'm just thankful that the industry has had its head on straight with this game since the start.

...Really? If you aren't ready to explain it to your kids, don't play. If you are a gay basher, burn in hell. People have a right to what they want to do. Also, young kids are very understanding of gay/lesbian. A man can love a man and a woman can love a woman. Mother, you need also to remember that gay people have feelings too. If they are 'discriminated' against in a children's game(although, I can't really see how it would matter. It's a children's game) they might do the same thing you did but FOR the gay aspect instead of against.
Looking over this thread now, after having made my initial response to the article, I must say that I don't want to be counted among those who say they hate Christians, not for what I said.
I don't like Christian beliefs or what they're doing to the world, particularly when they are used to justify wars or partisan nationalism. I generally don't like what the Churches do as organisations, especially when they deny scientific progres that will happen wherever their influence is weak anyway. But that has never stopped me from liking some people who count themselves as Christians.
Now that that's out of the way, I'm going to say that conservative politics are fair game. If something's stupid it will be named as stupid in any public place, and such an ideology always has been flawed concerning the constantly changing reality in which we live. I'm not saying we should accept everything that comes to pass, but that resisting change too much can lead to its deformity and perversion. This is such a case.
There's still the matter of the defence those who feel offended by the comments to this thread have thrown up. I'm going to go ahead and point out that, when people say "I hate Christians", or the like, there is a high likelihood of them not thinking before they speak, and not meaning Christian groups as a whole anyway. Probably, they have Christian friends.
Think about it. It's hard to be in an English speaking country and not have such friends. Is there an atheists-only school in this world yet? Maybe, but if so, we never hear about it. These people are merely running off their mouths, and likely don't believe what they're saying on that level. So those of you who feel offended might want to consider calming down.
I'm not saying shut up either. All power to free speech. Just remember that an impersonal statement is just that: impersonal. It's not guided at you.

Only making a joke and yes not adding the U was out of fear of the moderators. I just hate women like her. I don't hate you or all christian conservatives I'm used to WoW forums where I can spout my anti-christism to my hearts content. While I have my own issues with these type of people, I don't really want to have gay sex behind a church to spite christian conservatives. That being said. Satan was Right.
It astonished me that it did raise so much ire, but then I suppose both the Gay groups and the Christian groups are getting used to taking flak whether it's intended or not.scotth266 said:
You can see why I chose the story though
I always love that groups (be they religious or not) seem to think Homosexuals have an "agenda". It's like they all met up and they decided the best way to spread their sexual preference is through a video game. It's amazing heterosexual realtionships managed to survive...
Why does every "ethical" argument lead to the thinly veiled truth that bad parents are getting more vocal?
I mean, really. Parents think that instead of talking to their kids and actually having an effect in their life, they can just get all the parts they do not wish removed. This has nothing to do with religion.
Why are people stupid?!

Oh yeah, they're both USED to taking flak. The thing is that they shouldn't HAVE to. The issue here is communication: most non-Christians seem to assume that all Christians think the same way... which they don't. The ones that wind up saying things like this are the hardcore traditionalists, the fundamentalists, and the prudes. The Church is also filled with forward thinkers, philosophers, and scientists: but nobody likes to acknowledge them because that limits how they can start their little pissing contests.The_root_of_all_evil said:It astonished me that it did raise so much ire, but then I suppose both the Gay groups and the Christian groups are getting used to taking flak whether it's intended or not.

I understand why you chose the story: I just don't like how the reaction from the community was so immediately focused on "BURN THEM, BECAUSE THEY HAVE THE WRONG OPINION!" I find it extremely amusing that a Catholic has to remind people that this is what the Church used to do back in the Dark Ages. It wasn't cool then, and it isn't cool now.
Oh, we've progressed: we've advanced so far, but so much remains the same. The only difference is who's getting thrown on the pyre.
Sorry for the mini-rant. It's not your fault: you were just doing your job.
