I hate holyrollers. This place I take my car to for maint. shares the building with a church of some sort. These fvcktards meet there pretty much every night of the week (for those who can't get enough church on Sunday :roll: ) and fill up the damned parking lot. They also set up cones to direct traffic in and out through this maze that makes no sense whatsoever. I make it a point to drive in the exit and drive over a few of their cones whenever they set up this idiotic maze.

My neighbor is a holyroller. His daughter came up to me one day and started spewing some holyroller garbage. I told her I don't believe in god and went in the house.

I *HAD* an ex-girlfriend that was a holyroller. We got into a huge argument one day because I couldn't help but throw it in her face that she was judging me and how true christians never pose judgement upon others.
I hit the nail on the head judging by her reaction. Did I mention she drank, smoked, had premarital secks, and I caught her cheating on me?!

I have 5 ex gfs that fit that description


ditto ... -4 thought.

I can't even begin to comprehend what "premarital secks" is, but it certainly sounds UnChristian!

I think that those who are labled "holyrollers" usually deserve the term. As a born again Christian myself, I do enjoy playing all sorts of games (and I watch Harry Potter!). I don't think anyone is evil for playing any of these games.

There are, however, dangers inherit in almost everything we do. As someone who slaughters thousands of people every day (long live Rome: total war and UT2K4) I acknowledge the violence I am exposing myself to. I absolutly LOVE to frag, but I accept that I cannot do these acts in real life, that they would have grave consequences if I did. There were (and are) a large number of young people who took D&D and other games very seriously and this caused problems in their views of the world and the actions they took. Thats why makers put warnings or age limits, some minds are too young for certain things.

Now this does not mean I am against anyone under the age of 13 watching a PG-13 movie or playing a 'T' rated game. I believe it depends on the person, not the age. There are plently of younger people out there more mature than I am and visa versa. I think people (and parents specifically) need to take into account not only the content of what there kids are exposed to, but also their childs maturity. Now this is coming from a young married man with no kids, so take what I say with a grain of salt.

Back to the original topic... Holyrollers are people that I both respect and despise. I respect that they are (usually) so convicted that they have no fear about sharing their views with others. This is what the Bible calls us to do, be completely convicted in our knoweledge of God as well as our role as missionaries to the world. I despise them because often share their convictions in an intrusive and unproductive way. The Bible states to act as an example to people and not to judge others. We are to be a 'light' unto others. Last time I checked, personal attacks, insults, and even reading others emails are not the best way to show God's love.

sorry for the long post, but I thought maybe a Christian gamers point of view should be heard.

LOL, I used to work this religious freak, her desk was littered with every image imaginable, she had at least 10 pictures of Christ on her desk, and of course her desktop wallpaper changed very often with had gotten laid. She was also very superstitious, I loved going up to her with a straight face and telling her I had seen the devil the night before, or that the devil was trying to recruit me. She believed me every time, I could actually see the fear in her eyes everytime I mentioned the Devil :D

wtf. motherfvckers.
They somehow figured out that the D&D characters have an "alignment" and there's an element of god-worshipping in that and they freaked out.

my parents told me D&D was evil; because several years ago some kids in my neighborhood who were into D&D killed their parents; there was a tv movie made about it but it was years and years ago so i dont remember what its called.

my brother left some cds at a friends house once (they regularly traded music and hung out, so hed planned on getting it next time he was over there) and his friend called one day about how his parents raided his room, and burned all his non-christian cds while he was in school.

my dad, for some reason, forbade me to watch power rangers as a kid (even though i hadnt been watching them, which made it really odd) because he thought it "demonic"

and once, as i was looking at a gaming mag that had a UO ad on the back with a large dragon, I commented on how I thought the artist was talented and he went on some rant about dragons and demons and me worshipping the devil with it or something; i wasnt really paying attention after he started talking

I had a friend throw out his own music, D&D stuff, et cetera after a conversion-type experience. He had the option to sell it as used material and make a some money, but only burning was good enough. He bought the same basic stuff again later. :p

He's an ass for reading your work and forcing his religion on you. You're an ass for replying with antagonistic remarks.

If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. Remember the words I spoke to you: "No servant is greater than his master." If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also. They will treat you this way because of my name, for they do not know the One who sent me. If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin. Now, however, they have no excuse for their sin. He who hates me hates my Father as well.

-Jesus (John 15:18-23 NIV)

He preceeded to tell me that his church has denounced all demonic games like that.

I said "It will be a cold day in hell when I let a religion run my life ;)


daayum I need to invent some antiholyroller spray.

One good thing though they are avoiding more often because they think lightning might strike me at any moment ;)
