Any Christians Play this game yet?

[CatLover]

What are you thoughts on it from a christian perspective?

[Saint]

There's an interesting conversation in here if you jackasses could stop with the snark and the attempts at proving just how ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ smart you are.

People can claim that Christianity is the foundation of morality all they wish; many immoral acts have been done in the name of, painting that idea as being hypocritical and biased. It also doesn't change the fact that, in the modern age, those of a secular nature tend to be pushing humanity forward.

This is not meant to offend anyone of any religion. There's positive personal growth to be had for those who choose to pursue. It's just my two cents. I enjoy respectful conversation of differing views.

And many moral acts have also been done in its name.

Christianity as a belief system is fine.
Christianity as an organized religion is a cancerous growth on the human race that needs to be torn out, ripped to pieces, and burned to ashes.

Are you speaking on those of a secular view?

Nope. Many good things have been done in the name of Christianity. And secularism. It's the people that are good and bad

My money would be on the OP being a troll, and judging by responses it's true. I merely present facts in response to explicit misinformation. (and if you're curious, I'm an ex-Christian turned Atheist)

But nothing constructive is coming from these corrections of misinformation, all it leads to is strife.

My bad. Dealing with a hand injury, and the medication I'm on has me a little foggy. Read that was immoral; not moral.

But I entirely agree with that statement. I was just stating that, whether you follow or not, religion doesn't seem to hold the position it once did; with those of a secular view tending to be the ones truly progressing society as a whole. Certain ethics perhaps to question in the process.

That's why I only correct once. Doing further is futile - it's up to readers to check the information to figure out who they think is right. Only responsibility of those with knowledge, is to put up the sign posts.

As a hard core true believer in Christianity, the first thing I tell non=believers is do not judge Christianity on the behavior of Christians. We have just one book that is in actuality 66 books unless your Catholic and due to individual interpretations we end up with 100s if not thousands of "denominations". For example there are well over 300 flavors of Baptist.

I would love to jump up on a box and give my testimony and explain God's plan but this is not the place or time and not on subject.

I've only just arrived at the Island and haven't even headed off to find the palace yet. I do know I don't like first two factions much. I've not met them all yet but so far I like the Naughts best. I'm also a Navy vet so that may have something to do with it.

The only thing I'm aware of at this time that I may find objectionable is depiction of same sex relationships. This is one of the biggest sins in the Bible. So big, that it's in the Old and New Testament.

Now the first thing most people take away from that is Christians hate Gays or God hates Gay and Christianity is a homophobic religion. While a very common misconception that a lot of so called Christians fall into, that is not the case.

The Bible is very straight forward about this, and says repeated throughout from cover to cover, God loves everyone. Every person that has, is or will live, is loved by Him. The only thing God hates is sin.

I could go on and on but I will limit myself here. Just know that when you see some so called "Christians" yelling "God hates Gays!" or whatever they are wrong and are perverting God's true message. One day they will have to give an accounting to Him and it will not be pretty for them.

Simple just as you can point to christianity and the bad things that have happened and then by the same token say that secular views only advance society I can point you something like Eugenics.

Eugenics is nothing but a secular viewpoint based on nothing but logic and totally devoid of emotion. Or any horrific scientifc experiement that has ever been carried out in order to "advance society" of which there are many. Or any communist society that has left millions upon millions dead. It's even arguable that secularism has a higher death toll that religon does (since there are more people around than there was in the dark ages when total population was only a few million).

Does that mean secular views are immoral? That is your stance and yes it's very biased.

Just as you can have extreme relgious fanatics you can equally have the same for secularism.

How am I a troll because I'm not in your "cool club atheist" group? I asked a question of fellow christian gamers on their thoughts on this game. Nothing more, you chose to engage here.

It's called "baiting" - and your history reflects this and other trolling techniques as standard behaviour for you.

And with that note, I won't engage in this further, as your misinformation isn't worth breaching steam rules regarding inflammatory discussions.

Goodness. Someone sounds very hateful.

Yikes, believing that middle eastern savages are responsible for establishing basic mathematics and science. Must be nice sitting that high up on your cloud.

Dealing with a hand injury that really makes typing a chore; thus I'm not in the best of moods to get in-depth into conversation, but, all my point is, you don't much see secular folk trying to paint themselves as the most virtuous beings on the planet. If anything, all they do is point out the potential hypocrisy of those who claim as much. literally my point, on a most basic level.
