Not to mention a couple of them have foul mouths in CIVIL.
Blazin, might I suggest reconsidering who you have?
This reminds of all of the ghetto people going to church, then go to school the very next day. They use so much profanity, provocative gestures, sinful actions, and greedy actions.
Yet they call themselves Christians.

you just won't let it die, will you? Xtian's leader made exactly one reply in each topic, and that was it. all you're doing by continuing to insult someone who isn't fighting back is a) proving Xtian members are decent human beings, and b) proving that you're not.

no, joining up with a bunch of other people to insult a minority group is wussin' out. it takes very little courage or character to insult someone who won't fight back.

I thought minorities were about having the courage to stand up to the adversity and fight back?

if every minority group fought back, there would be no minority groups because they'd all be dead. in america, minorities have the luxury of fighting back safely, which seems to give some the impression that this is the accepted way to handle problems.
the early Christian church was oppressed from all sides, and yet, without ever fighting back, it managed to overtake the empire of its oppressor.

for a long time, it did, and that was a terrible mistake on behalf of the Christians who oppressed. and now the Christian faith is suffering the consequences of the dogmatic majority of the past as Christians today are asked to account for the sins of those before them. as Gandhi once said, "i like your Christ; i do not like your Christians. they are so unlike your Christ." i won't try to defend generations before me because, like you said, they oppressed countless minorities. the voice of the majority usually does. maybe it is a good thing that Christians are once again remembering what it is like to be a minority.

It depends if they let people joke and mock them without getting angry.

i dunno, humor is always a touchy subject. like making "your mom" jokes and then finding out the person's parents died in a plane crash.

That's why I never make such jokes. Because i don't have a mom, I know how it feels
However, I know many "Christians" who make religious jokes all the time and yet they can't take one about them.

Good of you to admit that historically Christianity a great vehicle for evil and oppression. Which proves that it's a hoax and why we don't want to hear about it in the game. Thx.

replying to your posts from first to last:
- interesting, you say 'put up or shut up' then get on me about 'putting up' as you call it in the very next post...
- do you want me to stick up for Jews too, or are you just hoping i won't be willing to? this is a thread flaming Christians, so i stood up for Christians.
- so insulting people on a forum is your way of getting back at them for oppressing you...and if you don't want to hear about it in a game, why keep bringing it up? and admitting that people have done bad things in the name of Christianity does not prove it is a 'hoax'. in the name of democracy, teddy roosevelt conquered cuba and the philippines. this resulted in cuba's bitter shift towards communism and the philippines' economic dependency on the USA. this is one example of many evils committed in the name of democracy. is democracy a hoax?

Nobody has oppressed me. If the fact that it's all a huge hoax is insulting too bad. Only difference between you and guy walking into a hotel with a bomb for religion is you don't have a bomb.

by taking bits and pieces of what i say and what the Bible says, you equate yourself with the hypocritical Christians against which you claim to fight. by taking single verses of the Bible, one can come to believe that slavery is right. by taking single verses of the Qu'ran, one can come to believe that walking into a hotel with a bomb is a sacred act. by assuming an entire religion is a hoax based on the failings of a limited number of people who follow it, you do yourself a great wrong by refusing to search for the truth.
"You have accepted this answer rather than explore the possibility that something greater may exist. This suggests that you are flawed...and that you do not search for knowledge, but only for a convenient answer." - The Nameless One, Planescape: Torment
if you search for your answers, truly search, and still find that religion falls short, you will be able to defend your own convictions rather than attack those of others.
