I agree. Those threads always end up with flaming. But the "Craziest Site Ever" Thread wasn't really about religion, more about some guy who thought that games should be made for Christians specifically, which is nuts. He complained about games that contained material that was against his religion (but not against everyones) And my "list" (and Im just defending myself here) was made to be "politically incorrect" It was supposed to be a little wrong. I said that in the post. I said that this wasn't true of average people in those relgions, just a few, and that even then, most weren't really like that. And there really wasn't any flaming at all in the thread until EBOLA (who Im guessing is actually Crono 789) yelled at us for "hating" this guy for his views. No one said we hated him, we just said he was annoying and arrogant. And also he said this:
I didn't say anything like that at all. I said that all religions had "fundementalists", like this guy. He's a Christian fundementalist, i.e. he takes the Bible literally, and he feels the whole world should agree with him. And that is arrogant, obnoxious, and egotistical. And I used the example of Osama as an exammple, because he's an Islamic fundementalist, i.e. he takes the Koran's teaching of the Jihad literally (it does NOT mean a holy war against infidels. it's an inner battle with oneself to try to be the best person possible, but the word has been taken to mean what it does today by people like him.) and feels that it is his personal duty to destroy the infidels as best he can. And I have a problem with both of these viewpoints, and I said so. Obviously, Osama would be a much bigger problem, as I can just not go to his (Al Menconi's) site, where if Osama decides to bomb me I can't do much about it. That was implied, Im sorry I didn't realize I had to spell it out for you. BTW, I am Christian, I go to a Christian school, I go to Church, and I believe the teahings of the Church. We were just saying that this guy's a bit ridiculous, nobody "hated" him, and no one assaulted the Christian (or the Muslim) religion, so really his entire rant was out of line, and I do not appreciate his yelling at me for something I did not say nor imply in any way.
My entire speech there is a perfect example of why we should ban religion from these forums, because they tend to be conflicting and important to people, so theyll argue and fight for their point of view fiercely. I dont care if he agrees with me, but I will not accept him yelling at me over this when I didn't say anything he accused me of saying. I was simply defending myself here

See, that little rant right there is exactly why we shouldn't have controversial topics such as religion on this forum. Obviously we were all in agreement that those topics should be excluded from our discussions on this message board, yet somepeople refuse to let it die. DW, you had the opportunity to let the argument between you and Ebola slide, yet you had to get in the last word. Just drop it.
As you said: "I dont care if he agrees with me, but I will not accept him yelling at me over this when I didn't say anything he accused me of saying. I was simply defending myself here ". Can't you just be the more mature person and ignore him? Ebola has shown time and time again to be an immmature and annoying person, so don't be surprised if he goes on the offensive for something as trivial as religion as they apply to video games. Some people on this forum need to become a little thick-skinned and learn not to freak out everytime someone makes fun of them, disagrees with them, and thinks their opinions are superior. But if you feel in any way that your are being attacked or persecuted for anything such as religion, let me know. I will handle it personally. Little scrubs like Ebola aren't going to have free reign to mess around on this forum, I'll see to that. Intolerance will not not be.....uh.....tolerated on this forum.

I agree with Mr. Tim and Mr. Dragoon Tony. *bows in homage* Mr. Dragoon Wraith, it's okay, really. Mr. Ebola apparently isn't very....tolerant about other people.
In any case, I don't really have much to say...it's just that when someone states their opinion on something, you don't have to like...argue, you can just state your opinion and you don't have to come into conflict with anyone else. And if someone comes and flames everyone then...uh...we should ignore it. ^ ^; At least that's what I think. Ignorance is bliss, right? Okay, maybe not...
As for those "Who's the most..." whatever threads, I'm sure they're just in good fun. Right? ^ ^;

Of course thats a perfect example of why we dont need these arguements on religions here. I said that. But Im sorry, I had to defend myself. I have no hard feelings against Crono 789, I just didn't want him (or anyone else) to think Im a bigoted, anti-Christian/Jewish/Muslim/anything else bastard, which in HIS speech he was definitly saying I was (not in those words, but he clearly felt I was against these religions) Im not, I really dont care about your religion, thats your problem. I said that in defence of myself, not any kind of religion. Im sorry, I apologized when I said that, and Im apologizing now, but I really dont want you people to think Im like that... OK, Im sorry, I agree with you, but I couldn't let him say stuff like that about me and not defend myself. Yes, I couldve dropped the whole thing, but I felt that he was seriously insulting me. Not on purpose, I know, but he did, and wasn't gonna just sit there. It's ridiculous and stupid, and Im sorry, but I didnt want to have him say that about me without at least having a chance to say that hes wrong, Im not like that. Sorry.
