...Oh lawdie it hurts to laugh.
I don't do a lot of reading into christian religion, and they have thier beliefs. Religion is religion, I've no problem with it. Some people really take it over the top, though. Seemingly enough to let it interfere with everyday enjoyment. I just don't get that.
However, I'll start believing video games are evil the day they can provide solid scientific proof that there's a god up in the sky.
Till then, I've got some dailies to finish ;P
Remember to tithe 10% to the invisible sky daddy of your choice! ;)

I didn't fully read this article, I skimmed it but it was funny at first but as I kept reading I started to get %^&*ed off more and more. The way that the author is describing wow, that its tainting people to like evil and Satan, not gonna lie when you first see and play the game it seems like that, but after getting to play it, you start to see it as, well at least the way I see it is that WoW is like a facebook or myspace with a game component, its a vague discription and all but thats all it really is.
The funny part is that my whole family is Christian and they have made inferences, however discrete, about the setting of the game. IE the witchcraft %^&*. I usually explain it and they dont mind it ('cept when i play hours on end, but i digress)
All in all, as it was stated before people need to separate Fantsy and what is Reality.

A company makes money.
Its not corrupted, guess what? Church needs money too, are they corrupted? Course not. They believe in god and follow "His Rules" so they are never gonna bump into a problem.
Now im playing this game so im going to hell and to become corrupted and before you know it im gonna be causing another 9/11.
Someone stop me please.....

I love religious morons, I realy do :p.
I posted a reaction and it's "waiting moderation", so far for freedom of speech.
If someone were able to present me with credible evidence that the Bible is true, and that accepting their belief structure is the only way to avoid an eternity of torment, then I would convert to Christianity. However, they don't do that; instead, they simply shout loudly that their beliefs are true
because they believe them
, and tell me that I should believe the same as they to avoid the eternal torment in which they believe.
Probably has nothing to do with your question or opinion or whatever, but a few years ago I heard in the news that people found a book or something similar that Jesus was never betrayed by, who was it Judas?, and that they were best friends. This was found somewhere in Egypt if memory serves well.
And that goes directly against what the Bible is telling.
Yea, the one of Judas, I have seen some short versions of it. In it Jesus had planned his death and his betrayel was actualy the biggest gift he could give, he was according to it the only one who truely understood Jesus.
But hey, the bible has been written by a fiew bishops in France to fit to their image of God, over half of the scripts got trown away.

I just posted pointing out that the overall story of the game is fighting against the demons of the Burning Legion. Let's see how they deal with that, shall we?

Well
ill be the first to tell anyone that i am a christian, and i have read deeply into the bible.
do i believe wow is a purely good and christian game, no, but we live in a far from perfect world.
personally i dont force my beliefs on anyone, you may all believe what you would like to believe.
i show who i am, and what i am by how i do, i dont complain curse, or cry over the game.....
these so called "christians" that judge everything and deem it all wrong need to think about themselves a little in my opinion
Just IMO.

Guys, I just heard footsteps in my hallway. So clearly the only logical solution would be to assume this is a demonic force invading my home and make my husband quit WoW because that is the direct result of him having a hobby other than praying and being a stupid twat.
On the other hand, this is win if you look at it from the community's PoV. The fewer nutjobs decide to take up WoW the fewer self-righteous morons who can't even operate this easy game we, as a community, will have to deal with. I mean I seriously doubt their ability to perform the simplest tasks irl, so I'm better off not having to deal with them in dungeons or raids.
Also, forgive my pointing out the obvious, but Christians aren't exactly known for being able to differentiate reality from fantasy. So this shouldn't come as some sort of shocking revelation.

I like how she keeps referencing that single passage "Abstain from all appearances of evil".
Robin Sampson is clearly a woman and she appears to be teaching Christians about WoW, but in 1 Timothy 2:11-12 it says ever so clearly:
Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
i.e. STFU, woman.
Best counter-point so far. Well played.

Nah, having played through the levels and done some raiding, I've
never
seen any races and religions, even factions that are mortal enemies, come together to defeat an all consuming evil. Are you proposing that Sargeras=Satan? I prefer the more sensible belief that anyone playing WoW is constantly being brainwashed (a rogue developer hinted at this at some point and since then we have been hearing about "people being driven mad by the whisperings of the old gods") to worship Satan and the warlock class quests have subliminal messages that promote a gathering of WoW players who will try to summon Satan to the middle of New York City sometime this summer.
Illidan tried to warn us, but we didn't listen.
LOl, that's funny, but I pointed out that overall, the demons have been behind everything bad in the game. Black Dragonflight? Corrupted by the Burning Legion. All of BC? Burning Legion. The Lich King? Oops, Burning Legion created him, too. The Alliance and Horde are just too busy squabbling and being "Us not Them" to do the whole uniting thing.
And I'm Neo-pagan, so it's not even like I believe in Satan anyway >.>
