The Noobiest Noob doth return!   Registered Member #1214 Joined: Sat Jul 26 08, 04:30PMYour Location: Ashford, Kent Posts: 1007 | 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  ) "When they speak to us of cannibals, we smile proudly, as we proclaim our superiority to these savages. Who are the real savages?

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).

Did I mention the time when I bottled a sentry?  Registered Member #1254 Joined: Thu Aug 07 08, 10:10PMPosts: 832 | 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  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  | ||

omnia causa fiunt Registered Member #141 Joined: Tue Apr 24 07, 10:00AMYour Location: London, UK Posts: 5401 | 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] 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.  | ||

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 | ||
