To this day anyone who shows a level headed and rational approach and saids "There is no god" as I have gets funny looks its oppressive and utterly hypocritical Christians say "Kindness" "Love" "Compassion" yes towards other Christians yet when it comes to "Normal" people they are as compassionate as a left hook to the jaw.

Not really, there are Christian charitys that help all people, not just Christians. I've never exprienced any funny looks, thought I have been asked "So, why dont you believe in God?" but always in a polite way.

You're hate of religion seems to come from the fact that you believe that all religious people are rude and snobby to those not of there religion, and that religion people shouldnt be allowed to practice there religion because there are some bloody aspects of there history.

And you leave out the fact that its Hypocritical again and that flat out god doesnt exist.....

Miracles.....theres another curve ball my Niece was taken to Lourdes because her Catholic mother believed that god had cursed her and thought that the waters at Lourdes would cure her.....shes eleven now and still as disabled as she was when she went at the age of four...

Medicine 1-God and the large joke thats called religion........0

I didnt want to bring that into it I really didnt as its a sore subject for me.

And did I say I hate religion no I said that I think its Hypocritical....and I take great joy in debunking it.

BP can you call a truce or something for a while, i understand and agree that God does not exist. ( personally , if he does, he has lot to answer for), but its getting old. pick it up later once things have calmed down. assuming others can as well.

Incorrect, you were slanging people of my faith and bragging about it.

I'd say EDITED FOR FLAMING but you don't believe in God so the statement is not relevant plus it would be insulting and not appropriate. I'll post this instead.

That's the biggest Haggis I've ever seen!

Surely it had escaped from a zoo. It can't be a wild one.

**Lord-Loss**

Its hard for Frazzled to think properly after he was half killed by the attack wiener dog.

**Frazzled**

Woof.

Yes this is one of the Haggis that escaped that MGS was talking about. We must be careful lest the UK unleash Operation Haggis and take us all over.

**Alpharius**

That's the Smog Monster from the old Godzilla movies!

And yes, delete the pic with the Profanity in it NOW, as it violates the rules hereabouts.

Why is religion hypercritical?

Good point...

And I say this...

Because when you look and really read into religion what good has it done us as a species??. Nothing more wars have been fought over beings that dont exist then I care to count on my fingers and toes the problem we face right now in our day and age has been caused by a bunch of fanatics that think they get orders from "God" to kill these are Muslims and trust me so far we have just touched a minority that think its ok to harm other because "God" told them to.

Hospitals, Orphanages, homlesss shelters to name few that are open to all. It takes the same amount of faith/belief that there is not a god/higher being as we do that there is one. As for muslims, can not speak for that

In the 1100's 1200's before then the Christian faith stormed across half the world killing and burning and maiming in the name of "God" yet! in the pages of the Bible it clearly states "THOU SHALT NOT KILL" or how others say in prominantly the Yanks "THOU SHALT NOT MURDER".The Bible is litterly soaked in blood of those who didnt believe in what they did the Quran is soaked in equal amounts over guess what?? killing people who didint believe in what they believed in.

In the bible, every nation that God told the Israelites to destroy where evil, depraved to the point that blood soaked the land. It also needs to be pointed out that that people change Gods word to mean what they want it to mean. Taking things out of context. The human element. This happens often as witnessed by some of the cults that have been seen.

To this day anyone who shows a level headed and rational approach and saids "There is no god" as I have gets funny looks its oppressive and utterly hypocritical Christians say "Kindness" "Love" "Compassion" yes towards other Christians yet when it comes to "Normal" people they are as compassionate as a left hook to the jaw.

Yes that is hypocritical and unfortunate that you have experienced that. Most of the chrisitians I know are not that way. I have worked with various people of different faith/belief and have enjoyed having a friendly discussion with them about it.

To summarise

Murder: B*LLS**T (The Crusades biggest hypocritical stain on Christianity ever! and no matter how hard they scrub that blood isnt coming off)

you are correct on that one and the Inquisition(which also turned christian against christian)

Adultery (Thou shalt not covent thy neighbours wife) or something like that more Christians or offshoots indulge in adulterous activity then many others)

In the US, the stats are the same for both christian and none christian

Bigamy (Towards Black people and Gay People)

I would have to disagree with this one. I am not saying that it does not happen. Do I agree with the gay life stlye, no. And I believe it is the life style, not the person that people don't like. And before you ask, I do know and am related to gay people with no problems in our relationship

Thats three examples need I go on to what the Christian church has done to indiginous peoples of other countries in the thrid world they believe in "Demons" Christian Evangelists in Nigeria and Angola have driven nails into peoples heads children for pities sake and you call that normal.....

And that is one of the things that kept me away from it.

Its all Hypocritical b***gak and before you say to me "Have you been to church" yes I have and its full of people who have issues who are trying to latch onto the bible bus thats not healing thats trading one set of bonds for another...

I don't doubt your churching. But we all have issues of some sort. Everyone deals with them in different ways. Just because you become a christian does not mean your problems just go away. We all live in the same world and these things effect us all differently.

Read the bible from cover to cover I have........... Then you'll realise

Have and my wife reads it at least 4 times a year (the whole thing)

I believe that there is nothing wrong with the bible but as humans we mess it up. You do not become perfect when you become a christian or any other faith.

While I don't generally reply to much on Dakka period, I couldn't help but reply to this. I haven't read it all, it's not worth it and I know that. I'm christian. Been playing games for better than 10 years. Far from that I just wanted to give the position of a fellow in our club.

Our buddy is in his late 50's. Was the pastor at a church for 10+ years. Is a hard working individual with grown up children a wife and a "DEMON" army! Oxymoron anyone?

Yes there are the occasional fanatical nut jobs out there that should probably be smacked; but I'd like to imagine that they are the minority as every religious person I've ever met/talked to in and out of my church has always seen the game as simply that. A game.

Then to see where you stand based on my own arguments, riddle me this:

Would you ever avoid playing any given army, or any given game mechanic, on the basis of your religion?

Nope, not really. How do you figure it is?
