I've always been curious Red Dawn, why exactly you are so bitter against Christians? Was it a personal experience with someone that was bad or just anger that comes from nowhere? I'm not flaming or trying to mock, I'm seriously curious.

Also remember tolerance goes both ways. Do not accuse others of not being tolerant when you yourself can not be tolerant.

Dude, shut the fsck up. If this was a player's association for anything else I don't think you would have given it the

so stick your stanky, worthless opinion BACK UP YOUR ASS. People like you who insist on crapping on any religious thread bug the crap out of me.

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.
You need a nice vacation for talking like that. He's entitled to his opinion and you're waaay out of line.

 
LMAO!

Regardless of the type of PA it is, who is stupid enough to buy the game in its current condition? It won't be ready for at least 6 months to a year. Probably not until the Space expansion comes out.
 
Honest question: why make a Christian PA anyways? Do you feel uncomfortable playing with people who have not "accepted Jesus" etc? I mean, I believe in many things, yet I don't actively search those out who believe in evolution and find creationism total hogwash. Muslim, Christian, Jewish, athiest.. whatever.. they're all people, and if I don't like em, they're at least group members 😛

That FAQ really doesn't serve ya much good. You take questions and you answer them by telling the reader that he just doesn't understand, that he doesn't know Jesus' "truth" and whatnot. That Jesus owns you. Yes, it mighta felt good to write, but nobody will take that stuff seriously in any sort of a debate except for you. If ya post an FAQ for OTHER people to read, try and make it something they can relate to, not "because Jesus said so" stuff. You might think that FAQ is pure gold and should answer any and all questions but those who are skeptical will leave with a big ol'

on their faces. There's a REASON the FAQ was created, right?
 
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.

I agree with the fact that no, it doesn't fit into a Star Wars game.. hell, no MMORPG at all. However.. and unfortunately.. with a game as massive and as popular with this, I think any and all signs of atmosphere and immersion will go out the window once everyone starts talking. I don't remember anyone in the SW movies going "d00d you stole my camp wtf i gonna tk u" hehe 😛

well, have you tried being a Christian on these boards?

You?d get cut into if you ever said you believed something because that?s what Jesus said, people just don?t like to hear about it at all. It?s good to have a place where you can say what you think without getting insulted. *and no, we don?t insult our local atheist, but where a little to ?truthful? in regards to a Mormon that came by trying to convert? we are only human* Is that enough to justify ourselves in having this community? I?m not sure, but I am sure of is the fact that PAs existence has done good for many people, including myself. But then back in 99 when I came to these boards *they where on UBB at the time!* this place was a good thing for me as well 🙂 but the less-harsh environment has done me good.

Yes, it mighta felt good to write, but nobody will take that stuff seriously in any sort of a debate except for you.
I don?t believe in trying to ?prove? God, or ?argue? God; I can do enough to prove that it takes faith not to believe in God just as it takes faith To believe in God. Now, if you want to go point-to-point on that one, I?ll go ;-)

Ether side my try to argue how little faith that it takes, but I think that?s a mistake; in the end, if you are asking me a question about God or whatnot you?re not asking me for logical dissertation, your asking me for how I feel, and how it?s affected my life.

My sig is just about all the ?logic? I need to follow after the Lord. Now if you?d like to argue about abortion or tax cuts, well I can give you plenty fun argument 🙂

There's a REASON the FAQ was created, right?
to give the flamers the answer they should expect from us :0)

but I do thank you for your concern in this matter :-D

with a game as massive and as popular with this, I think any and all signs of atmosphere and immersion will go out the window once everyone starts talking.
hehe, well we won?t be role-playing Christians; but we?ll take our sportsmanship in a Christian attitude.


It would never work, everyone would join as a rebel and you'd have no one to play against.
there are some 14000 other people on the server?
 
Why does it say "No Pants" on your front page. and "The pants are down" ? I mean, it's right on your front page, kinda odd. I think a christian PA is a fine idea, it's always good to have a group of like minded people for PAs. (Player Association)
 
I don't see why some of you really care what kind of an association it is. Start your own damn PA if you are so inclined. And then don't start whining when other people start hammering on you and your PA.

Geez, some of the nonsense that is put out in every religious thread makes this agnostic want to become a christian for the sole purpose of distancing myself from the hate.

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

It's a specific religion that says that there is a small piece of "god" in every single particle and that the "host" can "pray" to those "god particles" to get their prayer granted. I don't remember what the religion is called, but it starts with a "T" IIRC from my Senior Bible studies.

I'm not sure if this religion cam first and Star Wars was based on it or Star Wars came first and the religion was based on it, but it goes against the basic, fundamental beliefs of Christianity, yes. But that doesn't mean that Christians aren't allowed to create an account and go around killing things in cyber space. 😉

Why do you find it odd, possibly because you have a preconceived idea of what every Christian is supposed to act like? Would you have asked the same question if it was not a Christian site? I'm not trying to start an argument, I really want to know why you feel it is odd.

I just don't understand the meaning of it at all. Why should pants matter for an online game?

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 onlyPA, 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

This deserves a

if anything. I've never really liked exclusive "clubs." Something just doesn't sit right with them.

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

amnesiac: it's obvious you didn't read his initial post so I'll bold the important part you missed.
