You know a few hacks to this game should end that whole thing of them trying to blame game makers for mods.

OMG! Teh naked jesus mod!

Make Jesus an Arab prostitute.

no, make that a gay Arab prostitute.  With a 'Jesus loves abortions' t-shirt.

That'd do the business methinks.

[vyper]

Indeed, how will they ever handle showing kids his long hair?

OH NO THE CHRISTIANS MADE A GAME....

so they made a game...you don't have to buy it or play it, what's the problem?  Unless you arew allowed to propogate your beliefs while being angry when they do it....

grow up.

[vyper]

...

They're allowed to make a game, we're allowed to mock them. That's democracy.

Those may have been made by Christians at some level, but they are based upon the Old Testament, and thus are equally relevant to the Jewish people as well.

...just a clarification, not saying they're invalid examples or anything.

That's the kind of attitude that saw people picketing The Life of Brian.

Jewish, Christian - it's all the same.

Love me.

You know not how true that is/should be. But that's a subject for another thread, one that I don't really feell like starting ATM.

[Rictor]

Honestly, a game based on the Old Testament could in fact be pretty cool. The Old Testament is the independent cult movie hit, and the New Testament is the watered down, mass-market sequel.

The problem is that they are trying to market it by taking a potshot at the immorality of computer games.

There's nothing wrong with christian computer games but it's worth pointing out that the people who are writing this seem to wish that these sort of games were the only computer games that existed.

[ShadowWolf_IH]

well of course they are kara.  Yes they wish that thier games were the only ones, i wish my exwife was blind in one eye....but that don't make it so....let em wish, it will never happen.  They can't harm anyone by putting out a game.

[aldo_14]

Tell Jack Thompson that.........

They can however try to harm the games industry by claiming that the reason why their game is good and no one should by anything else is because The Sims is pornographic and Sonic needs to wear clothes.

As such the best way to fight back is to hold these nutcases up for the ridicule they so richly deserve so that no one ever gives their claims the slightest bit of crediblity.

Remember that the "You don't have to buy it or play it" argument also applies to the games they are bad mouthing too. It's not as if they are coming in with clean hands. They spent time disparaging other games, we disparage their games. Why do you have a problem with this?

Blasphemy! Sonic was meant to bear all, and bear all he shall!

[aldo_14]

Those spikes on Sonic's back are dangerous, and should be cut off or covered with soft cushions.  Also, he's always running about the place, which is very dangerous for young children to copy; he should walk calmly between places instead.

Oh, and he can't be friends with that gender-bending fox anymore.  That's just not right.

[Scuddie]

Agreed.  Also, Knuckles is obviously a violent influence upon our inncent children.  He is no better than the thugs at our middle schools.

But on the plus side, their rival is a mad scientist who's evil is engineering.  And as we all know, science is the work of the devil.
