Star Wars Galaxies : A Christian Player Asociation

[LordMagnusKain]

I lurk about now a-days here, but I?ve been quite active in the player association (guild) I joined for Star Wars Galaxies.

I just wanted to get your thoughts on the whole concept of a Christian only PA, we get flamed constantly on the SOE boards for existing at all; and the ATOT community has always been much more friendly than the jerks found at the off-topic board SOE boards.

we are at TheConsecrated.comand if you want to check out some screan shots of the game i took check out this thread:

Kissn' Vader

LordMagnusKain, it's a great idea, actually, and I wish you success with it, but as you can see from Mr. Asshat's response, ATOT is a vary largely anti-everything community, especially if it comes to religion. I'd suggest finding other gaming boards that might be more tolerant to your cause.

Oh, and asshat, er, I mean Moralpanic, if you REALLY feel like you have to take a sh*t on someone's earnest efforts to get a completely positive, legitimate group together, at least voice some sort of response that doesn't portray yourself as an absolutely uneducated dickhead shaftyanker, and maybe say WHY you don't think it would be a good idea.

Man, with 12000+ posts, you would think you would realize that this place is full of opinions. He's posting on a public forum, he can't be choosing his responses.

And yes, i would be rolling my eyes whether his PA was all for teletubbies lovers, vegetarian PA, or any PA, so you STFU, because unless i'm banned or suspended here, i'm going to post what i want and when.

I completely understand that you are entitled to your opinion. But there's a big difference between voicing an opinion that has some thought or merit behind it and just crapping on it with "

" because it doesn't jive with your religious ideals.

Good point. I agree.


G'luck with your PA LordMagnusKain.

WTF, how do you know it has anything to do with my religious ideals? Or that the rolling eyes were about that? I just think it's a stupid idea, so i'm entitled to it. It's a STAR WARS GAME if you haven't clued in yet. And the reason why he's been flamed on the official SOE board for posting this was for the same reason. This player association is entirely ingame. It's not an organization you attend to in real life. Just like a Christian guild wouldn't exactly be accepted in the game Everquest, this isn't exactly going to take off in STAR WARS. He's entirely free to start one if he can... but plenty of other PAs are getting flamed for being as equally stupid.

 

[LordMagnusKain]

There is some negativity here, but you couldn?t imagine how often we get called Nazis!

It?s crazy! Other PAs get like 20 replies to there threads, we get 300+ then have to start a new one *?cause on UBB threads to big hurt the system* so all the hate and vitriol that they spew only brings more and more people to our PA.

But this place IS a lot more friendly :0)

Here is a FAQ I wrote to answer questions/flames before we start recruitment

FAQ:
Q: Will you be preaching in-game?
A: As of now there are no plans to go door -to- door in the star-wars universe trying to convince wookies that Jesus died for there sins.

Q: I feel discriminated against because I?m not a Christian and want in your PA, how can you be such a Nazi?
A: For the exact reason that you called me a Nazi! You see, just the mention of the truth Jesus brings people to yell and cuss at you, our little corner of the world is for those of us that don?t like it when we say ?I think X, because Jesus said Y? to be retorted with ?Nazi, murderer, ...?

Q: Isn?t it anti Semitic not to allow Jews in?
A: we do allow Jews in, as long as they accept Jesus.

Q: I?m a Christian, but not some ?Jesus Freak? so why should I join?
A: If your definition of ?some Jesus freak? is: ?Believes that all have sinned and need to accept the salvation of Jesus, then you?re not a Christian?
Then you ant a Christian.
If your definition of ?Jesus Freak? is: ?knows every line by passage and verse, and only listens to Christian music?
Then I?ll have to say, I don?t listen to ?Christian? music, nor do I know many passages or verses, but Jesus owns me

Q: Hasn?t God, or rather faith in Him, killed more people through out the ages than other idea?
A: If people where truly following after the heart of Jesus, then all the wars and stupidity that you talk about wouldn?t be. The problem isn?t man?s belief in God, it?s when man?s belief in God falters to belief in self righteousness. God doesn?t kill people, people kill people.

Q: I?m just full of hate for anyone who believes in Jesus and God, and you are SOOoo wrong about them being real, and they are just a fairy tale, and the anonymity of the internet allows me to have the spine to insult you in a way I would never speak to another human otherwise.
A: Hate leads to the Dark side :-D

Q: I?ve got this compelling, well thought out, argument about how God can?t exist.
A: what happened to the questions? Eh, anyway; yea? good for you, but thing is God can?t be dis-proven, nor can I *nor would I want to* absolutely prove the existence of God, as even demons believe in God and shudder. Without faith it is impossible to please God.

Q: Stop preaching at me and trying to convert me!
A: Who?s trying to what to who now?

Q: J00 SuX0rz
A: but God R0x0rz!

ok, I made a few up, but it was my perception of the question so

That?s not true, the gay and lesbian alliance PA got a lot of warm response, and even an olive branch from TheConsecrated

And honestly, the Christian community that has formed has helped a lot of people place God before all else in there lives.

Something important when you?re a Christian who?s resigned to playing 60+ hours a week

Cripes, it's not like he's saying it's EXCLUSIVE to Christians, or that by creating a Christian PA that Christians are superior in any way, shape, or form to anyone else. It's a completely open PA that will accept anyone of ANY faith, it's just a way to get more Christians together in one place because they have a lot in common.

Would you similarly flame all Christian messageboards, usergroups, social clubs, etc. as well? Would you similarly flame a guild or association that encouraged black or jewish people to join? I think you would, because you're a closed minded assclown that doesn't know when to shut up.

 

[notfred]

Isn't "the force" supposed to be some kind of demon magic that is evil and sinful?

Many of the christians I've been around seem to think so... same thing with oujia boards and harry potter books.

Yes i would... because it doesn't fit into the STAR WARS galaxy. I think that's the point your missing... this is a STAR WARS game. And i do think that part of the reason why they've been flamed so much on the official SOE boards, is because people's general experience with organized religion in real life. They claim they won't be trying to convert people ingame, but i wouldn't doubt it if some of them start preaching ingame. They're not banned from creating that PA, they're free to try, but there's a reason why they haven't received a welcomed response yet.

 

[Linux23]

nice FAQ.

 

[Masas]

I don't think it's a bad idea at all...
and even better since you KNOW you will receive some flames and/or get bagged on...

but then...you ARE playing a starwars game so...

good luck with you clan/guild/player association...

may the force be with you?

Us Christians are so unfairly treated. Just because we know the truth and the rest of you heathens are going to burn in hell with the fags and the commies is no nreasons to cast despersions upon us. Praise Jesus who was murdered by the Jews!

Why do you hate believers so much Red Dawn? Why don't you just create an anti-God guild in the Star Wars game then you can compete for players.

I don't hate the foolish, I mock them. They are an endless source for my amusement!

 

[Harabecw]

I don't understand why you put so much behind the fact you're a christian.
just say "we welcome christians" instead of saying "jesus is good" everywhere.

Getting flamed for OVER-using you beliefs for it, if you know what I mean.
