Re: Are Roleplaying games Evil?

Now I know that you're just spouting nonsense.

Exodus 21:7: And if a man sell his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall not go out as the menservants do.

Now, selling implies a buyer, does it not? Well, maybe it doesn't in your universe, but in this one, it does.

This is why we need to deconstruct the texts of the Bible through more sophisticated forms of textual engagement, keeping in mind the importance of allegory in writing of the Bible. Reputable Bible scholars will tell you that the passages that have been twisted to support slavery, when interpreted correctly, actually mean something completely different.

Roleplaying games? Isn't that something like crossdressing?

Yes, sadly it is Sister Juliette. I know you just learned about men performing that disgusting act Sister Juliette but roll playing games like Dungeons and Dragons with all those elves in miniskirts is just a gateway to that kind of behavior.

Re: Are Roleplaying games Evil?

A woman is not a thing that you purchase, she is a person. Your equivalence of a "freshness seal" to an intact hymen, making a woman out to be nothing more than a commodity to be bought, sold, and used with no say of her oen in the matter, is disgusting.

Well, gosh, thank you for that amazing insight. Now please explain what difference that makes.

I would not purchase a bottle of aspirin if the seal were broken.

So you'd buy a bottle of aspirin that a rapist has opened and sprayed with spunk?

Re: Are Roleplaying games Evil?

What are you babbling about? If you go into the supermarket and see that an item's freshness seal has been broken, do you just say, "Oh, well, it's not the item's fault that someone has tampered with it; I'll just buy and eat it anyway"? Of course not. You recognize that it has become unclean. So it is with a girl and her freshness seal.

Re: Are Roleplaying games Evil?

Is roleplay evil?

Not when it's between husband and wife.

(That's my position)

Husband and wife? Are those the roles that your parish priest decided that you and he should play? Which were you?

[Pastor Isaac Peters]

Re: Are Roleplaying games Evil?

SHE isn't the one who has done something wrong - the rapist is. SHE isn't "unclean" - he's the one whose soul is foul. And before you say it, that doesn't mena that she fouled his soul - only someone whose soul was foul to begin with would force himself on another person.

Re: Are Roleplaying games Evil?

I could turn that around and say that I'm glad I'm a Christian and not your father.

I am also very glad that you're not my father. How about that? We agreed on something!

Re: Are Roleplaying games Evil?

the question stands, what are your thoughts on this?

Can you roleplay as a True Christian(tm)?

[Ezekiel Bathfire]

Re: Are Roleplaying games Evil?

I for one find great moral difficulty in assuming a character that does not embody the Image in Whose Likeness I was cast, regardless of that character's rectitude or purpose. I’m not at all sure I could do it.

To play the part of something less than a True Christian™ is to show ingratitude for Salvation™. To assume a greater mantle would be presumptuous.

Play acting is also often done merely to draw attention to oneself without the attendant responsibilities (e.g. Hellywood - all of it)

I do not recall Christ finding it necessary to play games.

Re: Are Roleplaying games Evil?

That's not logic - it's punishing the woman by forcing her to spend the rest of her life with the person who violated her.

Yet again Dances tiresomely insist on hijacking a thread for her own agenda.

Dances, you agree with us and God that rape is wrong. The only debate is the severity of the crime. Now getting back to the thread subject; how can you condone a game that is nothing more than simulated rape? I think the answer is obvious; because you play those games yourself and harbor those same fantasies. Like more most femnazis you would love nothing more than to have your own tallywacker so you could go around penetrating other people at will.

[Old Iron Crotch]

Re: Are Roleplaying games Evil?

Of course it isn't; we are not trying to marginalize anyone. But you have to understand the big picture.

First, who will marry a girl that has been raped? She has become unclean. This would be a terrible burden on the father and must be resolved; can you imagine the ridicule from the neighbours?

SHE isn't the one who has done something wrong - the rapist is. SHE isn't "unclean" - he's the one whose soul is foul. And before you say it, that doesn't mena that she fouled his soul - only someone whose soul was foul to begin with would force himself on another person.

God solves this by ordering the girl to marry her rapist, grease the father a few bucks...and everybody's happy. Does the logic of this decision escape you?

That's not logic - it's punishing the woman by forcing her to spend the rest of her life with the person who violated her.
