Look guys, i don't have a problem with any of you NOT being Christian (my best friend isn't), but i AM. Please respect that.

I get that most of you aren't religious. I also get that the games i play are "violent". Big deal. I'm big and ugly enough to take care of myself.

Please don't tell me that i can't play a game because of my Faith. It's not nice. Not kind. And, you're giving |UKMD| a bad name. . .

I know most of you don't have a problem, and i don't have a problem with you. . . But there are one or two people in this community who seem to think they know what i'm all about.

So i play TF2, and Cs:s, quite reguarly. I also attend church reguarly, and listen to Christian music. You going to tell me i can't do that because i play violent games?

Grow up and respect other people, and maybe you'll get their respect too.

Rant over.

Sorry to those this doesn't apply to. . .

(You don't have to comment. I'm just glad you read it )

Love suffers long, and is kind; Love does not envy; Love does not parade itself, is not puffed up;
Does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil;
Does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;
Bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never fails.

You are absolutely right!
It's up to you whether to decide if playing violent games match up with your religion.

I think "we" should respect one another like "we" want to be respected.
We musn't enforce (that's not the word I am looking for btw...) our opinions onto each other.

Other people have different opinions.
Surely me too can discuss if being Christian can co-exist with playing violent games. I even think that will be an interesting discussion. But this is not the place for that discussion.
|UKMD| is open for all people (except twats, biggots etc) of all sorts.

If there's anymore problems, just PM me (or one of the other Core Admins).

Phew, serious post finished.

NOT!:



Did you post in the pictures department?
I'd like to judge for myself...


Cheers,
n00b on,

Of course no one should ever attack anyone about any aspect of them.

If you were a victim of this we're gonna need names, PM the name to a web admin imo

I have no problem what so ever.
Im not religous myself, but you choose what you want to be and I respect you for that.

The flying spaghetti monster looks rather cool though!

---

arrrrr we have "dress as a pirate day" and everything. well cool.

Okiedokie....
Let's see:
Big: you certainly fill up the photo...
Ugly: now, WHY do you think that?



J!m: it's always safe to fall in love with an IDEA...Idea's are great, those lead to great things. We would respect that, UNLESS you would force the spaghetti monster believe upon us?



If you fell in love WITH the spaghetti monster itself you'd have a problem...
Hehehehe....



Cheers y' all,

"there are more than enough of us hairy assed scottish men to take you all on"

Have literally just read this thread, and I'm sort of sad/happy at the same time now. Happy about all the responses, but kind of sad at the fact that I'm not surprised it happened. Everyone on my mother's side of the family is Catholic, but as my dad is atheist I've just grown up thinking anyone can believe what they like, it shouldn't stop them, for example, getting married, let alone shooting each other in the head :?

I've never encountered any religious prejudice on the servers as I've kept that to myself till this post, but, as I have a microphone it's difficult to hide that I'm American, and I have encountered at least one person who seems to think I'm solely responsible for the Iraq war, George Bush and everything else America has done. Oh, and that I sound weird, obviously. And shouldn't be playing on a UK server (even though I do live in the UK). I suspect they also assumed I'm obese and eat Mcdonalds three times a day. Like Wolf, I don't like it, infact I dislike it so much I've written a really long post... oh wait, I always write really long posts !lol

Rant over. One thought though: Maybe the automatic message on the servers could be updated to mention that any prejudice will be punished At the moment it only warns about racism and swearing.

Or next time someone does this a core admin could slap them senseless, burn them etc

Even the idiots that say this stuff would get a hint that big

---

I have a low tolerance for religious abuse, don't worry i will slap.

---

I'm an atheist and have been for a long time, but I will take serious action on people who use someones religion as a platform to attack them.

---

Watch my videos

Just as a post note:
National talk like a pirate day + Sept 19 !!!

Arh! see you thar

When I worked in Honduras with all the backpackers diving, you had to feel sorry for a lot of the US backpackers coming through. They got so much rubbish talked at them over the Bush situation. A lot of them felt forced to pretend they were Canadian.

---

.Tito's Law. - You can't fall off the floor

yea i found that a fair few of the canadians i met during my gap year were doing the same thing Tito, pretty funny but i spose kinda shameful for the rest of the world too.

Aha!
Finally!
Well, looks like |UKMD| has a new scapegoat/fall guy (instead of Nades) to blame for when the servers go on the blitz again!

In the future let all logs say it's neon's fault?!?
He's A-me-ri-can...

Just kidding...

Religion on the forums is one of those topics that makes me slightly nervous ! Lots of scope for trouble and so on .......

No, we won't be tolerating any prejudice on the grounds of religion. Equally I'd like to think that we could keep religion out of UKMD - it's a gaming community, and whilst we do take a stance on prejudice, and do have chat forums, and it is a 'free' country, I'm not sure that one's religion/faith or lack of either is a necessary subject to be brought up. [I once had to speedily delete a few items that some n00b thought was funny - the sort of thing that could cause massive offense to others !]

I'm intrigued to know how this thread came into being. If Lonely Wolf thought fit to to bring the subject up in public then there's a certain culpability just there.

---

Yes, we are a secular gaming clan.

---

.Tito's Law. - You can't fall off the floor

As I said, I had kept it to myself, as generally on the internet no one needs to know. But once Wolf said he had been given stick over his religion, not standing up and saying "well actually, if you've got a problem with him you've got a problem with me", is sort of, you know, agaist my religion !lol

---

Oi noob Wolf, best friend here IS a christian! Haha

---

im Atheist, but i wont push my beliefs on people if they act the same to me. I think judging people in most aspects is immoral, including religion, race, nationality or ideals.

I think the only think I judge is political stuff like nazism, which isnt just a racist matter. Oh, and if your a super n00b or not

---

Dont blame Nazism. Nazism is ok!

It doesnt have to do anything with race at all!

You think Nazism killed many ppl? Il give you something to think about then.


But Nazism with hate is bad yea.

---

Let's just say #1 & #2 take that spot because those countries had/have more inhabitants?
If Adolf were born Russian he'd be #1

Yesterday ingame it was said the best:


In UKMD there's only 1 religion and that is RUSH RUSH RUSH!!!


Someone better close this one...
