it's either fake or the author is a dumbass.

and if you think it's true, you're a dumbass.

i say this because anyone who was serious about it wouldn't be so hypocritical by using the images for humorous/counterproductive messages.

'jesus saves!' 'he sure does!'
on some demonic looking fat dead hobos... come on, think about it.

Wait, now let's not go knocking religion. I am in a Christian rock band with hopes on going big. We are in church every Sunday, and I can guarentee every Christian isn't like this. I have Doom 3 preordered, I love that type of game. I drink a little and smoke some, but that doesn't make me, a Christian, like ppl who want to raise Hell (literally) about a video game. Just ignore them and remember that the gates of Hell is open to those who want to turn ppl away from Christianity because of their arrogance. I am speaking of the ones who've made the site.

Now yes, I may have strong opinions about the gay marriage thing and abortion, but those are topics that are proven to be wrong as the Bible states, but nowhere in the Bible does it state that a video game about the gates of Hell opening up should be banned. If these protestors wanted to just ban Doom, well what about Painkiller another game about Hell. The Bible does talk about the evils of the world, but translated that means if the game causes you to go out and sin, then you should not play it, but if it doesn't then it's not wrong. The world is full of free will and that's why this game should exist.

Abortion is murder and being gay is what got Soddam and Gomorrah destoryed. Those things are wrong, but Doom 3 is not.

Discussion?

<mod note>
if you want to discuss religion, abortion, or sexuality, start a topic on it. Try not to take the point of a thread (in this case, i'm not too sure what it's about, but it's not about those things per say). I'm sure people will be happy to discuss those topics. But come up with some kind of thesis or something like that in your own topic, and then it can be discussed.

Jason425 07-19-2004 09:58 AM

yea.. i'm not going to touch that flaming ball of flame juice until it's in its own thread... just suffice it to say that I don't think a book should run your life.. that's all..

Aemon_ 07-19-2004 10:12 AM

i actually dont think religion should be discussed in an open forum ever, unless it is a forum devoted to religion, its causes too much strife on the boards. this is a tech forum.

this doesn't mean i dont feel strongly about what i believe in, things like what gnogtr has already mentioned. but just not in the forums. there are better ways and places to discuss these things.

'tis my $0.02.

later

edit: i forgot that i added "later" to my sig! ha!

Uranium-235 07-19-2004 01:09 PM

back on topic. as the guy so stupidly put it

Why? - 7/17/04 - Posted by Heyguy
Why ban Doom 3 you ask? First, I'll give my reasons, which are 100% true.

It promotes Satan and his many minions!
Although you are slaying demons, you are still tempted by Satan's powers!
The people who made this game obviously worship Satan!
This game was made to mass propagate Satanism and it's many negative ideas!
The game is targeted towards the teenage audience, who are easily manipulated!
The game was made to scare people, and to show them the awesome powers Satan can use on people's minds. It does it so well in fact, that playing this game could cause people to worship Satan!
The game contains extreme violence, gore, ritualistic worshipping, Satanism, habitation of other planets God did not intend for us to live on, and the use of guns.
Realistic graphics too attempt to glorify Satan.
These are some of the many reasons why Doom 3 needs to be removed from store shelves. I could go on and on about how many other reasons as to why Doom 3 is evil, but you probably get the idea! If you do have any really excellent reasons, feel free to email them to me!
what do you think?

even though you are killing satan's underlings, it still promotes the evil one?

and, as everyone knows, the guys at ID sacrificed my dog last halloween as thier unholy offering to the devils of gaming!!

Whoever wrote this site is full of crap and doesn't know that Doom 3 will be a good game.

StinkyMojo 07-19-2004 06:15 PM

"Realistic graphics too attempt to glorify Satan. "

I love this one lol

gnogtr 07-19-2004 06:15 PM

Well, I didn't want to start any kind of flame, but the site really pissed me off. It proves that there are still ignorant ppl out there who believe that the world revolves around them. I want to say one more thing, but after that I will leave the religion part out of this. It replys to J425s reply that says a book shouldn't rule your life. It's not the book, the book only tells you how you should live by giving you examples of other ppl's lives that show how they went wrong and how sin came into their life. I suggest you give it a read, because everyone needs to read it once. I'll leave that topic now.

As for Doom, that is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Satan and his minions? ID worships Satan? I don't think so. You kill the demons. The ppl who made that site should at least get a good argument before starting a site...

Uranium-235 07-19-2004 09:18 PM

the site, is a joke*

*hoax, prank, etc

eviltechie 07-19-2004 11:05 PM

gnogtr 07-20-2004 10:42 PM

Jason425 07-20-2004 10:47 PM

what's that have to do with doom or this thread?

gnogtr 07-20-2004 11:39 PM

Somebody asked me for it on page 1.

Jason425 07-20-2004 11:56 PM

oic.. (oh and christian rock bands don't go big.. ) lol.. GL anyway

Aemon_ 07-21-2004 07:50 AM

Agreed. Switchfoot was a christian band for quite a while, and just now they made it big.

Jason425 07-21-2004 06:49 PM

*never heard of switchfoot...* but POD is cool.. I don't hear them preaching and bs.. but hey, just because they're christian they're a christian band then nowadays? mxpx is ok but it's the same old stuff and it got old quick

prove this. i've seen one exerpt over and over supporting this claim, and to me it seems to be out of context and wasn't describing homosexuality exactly. or how it is wrong. i think it's just an interpretation by certain conservative christians that don't like the idea of homosexuality.

Uranium-235 07-21-2004 10:41 PM

Code:

if(!on_topic)
    closetopic();


xMerCLorDx 07-21-2004 11:05 PM

fine, but pm me. i'm sure you'll find the quote from the bible i'm talking of, and with further investigation that the interpretation is contraversial and lacking.

done with topic.

anyway, the guy who made that wants to make christians look idiotic, or just plain be an idiot. don't get suckered into the idiocy.

Jason425 07-21-2004 11:19 PM

it is idiocy, i'll give you that... :/

xMerCLorDx 07-22-2004 12:50 AM

yeah well the idiocy you're referring to is theism, and i disagree with the quality of that argument.

Uranium-235 07-22-2004 01:24 PM

again we go with the off topic snuff
