Re: Overwatch: Overdue For A Ban!

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion personally I love the game and it helps people with their reaction time and distinguishment between good and evil. Now ***mild insult removed*** off ye ***colloquial reference to self-abuse removed*** and let people enjoy the life they've been given.

First, knowing both good and evil is what the "Don't eat the fruit" challenge was about. You would know that if you read the Bible. In this case, just the first couple of chapters. There is actually less reading involved in getting to the meat of Genesis than there is in following OP's points.

Second, in what possible way are we interfering in people enjoying the lives they have been given?

We are here, minding our own business. Anyone who comes here does so of their own volition and if they don't enjoy it they are free to leave.

So how is it that you can tell us to "go/leave/fly or whatever off" and stop preventing people from enjoying themselves/hurting themselves or whatever?

We are not keeping anyone from doing anything! Apparently, we are actually providing people with a golden opportunity to waste even more of their precious time on this game.

Playing it doesn't seem to be filling up enough hours of the day. Coming here to our site and explaining the game ad infinitum is also de rigueur in the Overwatch Braindamaged Idiot Turd* Community. Then, defending it against non-existent threats by using non-existent logic rounds out the experience-- which is, no doubt, followed by a palate-cleanser of Mountain Dew before the next course of gameplay.

Seriously, we are like Bugs Bunny and you guys are Elmer Fudd and Yosemite Sam. Do not blame us when the anvil falls on your head or your stupid shotgun blows up in your face. If you left us alone, in our hole, sitting in an easy chair munching on the carrot of our opinion, we wouldn't have to show you what idiots you are.

Re: Overwatch: Overdue For A Ban!

Since the time when I first made that post on the "Team Fortresses: II" thread, my son (who is now limited to playing on my lap for parental guidance and knows that if he so much as mentions the q-word again in my house, he will have the sin taken from his hide) has shown me Overwatch more fully, so I can better witness to those caught in its grip, and to show just how sinful it truly is.


In Overwatch, twelve lost souls compete for the "honor" of finding out which players will be snared more and more by the lies of atheism, one world government, techno-bestiality, and to nobody's surprise, idol worship, all while engaging in enough orgiastic violence to make a whole new vineyard for the grapes of GOD'Swrath!


The "heroes" of the game each have unique abilities and backstories with which they blaspheme GOD, and there are, it seems, even more of these wretched lot on the way, to be released at a later date. I have already gone over a few of them in my original post and have explained how only one of them seems to be in any way a follower of CHRIST. However, I gave only a sampling. I had to truly stare this sin in the face and get a feel for it (as the sinners say, I had to 'git gud') before I really knew that the only thing any of these players "main" is an addiction to profligacy. It turns out in the game that the "heroes" are members of an organization which was/is called the titular "Overwatch," a thuggish freak show of a police force for a one world government led by the UN! As if that isn't bad enough, they were destroyed once but a talking monkey has called them back to trample on family values, the freedom to worship GOD, and general good taste once again, and this is all in game!


I will go through the characters from left to right. Those with weak constitutions, please avert your eyes, I am a medical professional and am used to seeing gruesome material so my visual sin detectors are calibrated differently:

• "Benji Shimada," is an abomination of flesh and metal, and a testament to the utter lack of respect for GOD'S design and creation. Created by the game's resident quack ("Marcy," already mentioned), Benji can run fast, double jump, climb walls, and reflect bullets, but he cannot reflect the hellfire that awaits him (or what is left of him) for giving himself over to worship of Boo-duh.
• "Junked Rat" is an explosives-obsessed Australian who seeks to protect his worldly treasure from others because he has not built up treasure in heaven. Although GOD in HIS wisdom took Junked Rat's arm and leg to prove a point, the greed-blind hobo still has not turned from his ways.
• "Toad Hog" is Junk Rat's bodyguard and, if fan material is to be believed, his sodomite lover. Among sodomites, men like oad Hog are called "bears," but also the perhaps more colorful and honest term "c*m pigs," and I believe here the term is apt. Toad Hog's primary ability is his tremendous corpulence and his hook, so I assume his primary job is to give Christians tetanus and to eventually act as a source of meat once the sinners start to eat one another. Being foolish enough to be a sodomite, he doesn't know that tetanus is merely a means of being brought into the LORD'S loving embrace upon death, or that when the LORD'S judgment comes, he will likely lose weight before it comes to cannibalism.
• "May" is a Chinese "climate scientist" whose job is to repeat the lie of "global warming" as loud as possible and as often as possible. She often talks about gathering 'data' on her 'missions.' Since any actual climate data would prove the Bible correct, I assume the data she gathers is on the location and number of Christians and Baptist churches at various locations around the globe so it can be used to round them up and kill them off. She is considered by players to be the most annoying because her powers have to do with ice and she is apparently the fattest character in the game, with Toad Hog in close second.
• "Darya," named for the infamous butch lesbian cartoon of the same name, is a female Russian weightlifter who seems to be some sort of lesbian fantasy come hideously to life, not entirely unlike a buff, communist version of its namesake. A nastier inversion of GOD'S carefully delineated gender roles would be hard to find. She is apparently only "mained" by advanced players; this I take to mean that players become more and more familiar with the worst elements of the game as they get more involved.
• "Sarah" is an Egyptian RPG user (the grenade RPG, not the original "let's get your kids addicted to witchcraft" RPG) who uses a suit to fly about the map and shower the enemy team with rockets. Although the game portrays her as a "security chief," it is very clear when playing with her that she represents an Islamic terrorist. It is unclear whether she is a Mudslime or if she believes in ancient Egyptian heresy based on her tattoo, but since she has a tattoo at all, we know she cannot be Christian. Oddly, she has one of the most Christian phrases in the game, "Justice rains from above," referring toGOD'S eventual judgment on those playing the game, and yet it is used by one of the most openly idol-worshiping characters.
• "Tracey" is a female British pilot, which is confusing since her character runs fast. Apparently at one point she went so fast that she became unmoored from time itself, so the talking ape had to build a device to allow her to stay in one place, but also 'blink' forwards and backwards in time (can she blink back to before she sinned? No, says CHRIST, since the desire to sin is sin itself as per Matthew 5:28). This is, of course, functionally necromancy and in the real world GOD would have simply teleported her to hell for hubris, which he could do with the copies of this game, but won't, clearly to teach us a lesson. In this case I believe the lesson that the game intends is that the theory of evolution goes hand in hand with women's liberation, even "liberation" from the rules of time and space set down by GOD HIMself. It is true that the wacko, disproved theory of evil-lution has been the driving force for most if not all of the world's evils over the past hundred years, including perhaps the most pernicious of social evils, the lie of equality and feminism, so in this case I am pleased that the game so succinctly illustrates it. Even a clock damned to hell can sometimes tell the time correctly, even if it is out of loathing and hatred for GOD'S design.
• "Windowmaker" is a French assassin who is bent upon destroying Overwatch, similar to our erstwhile hero from my original post. Besides that, she seems quite intent on stopping the evils of robot Boo-duh-sts. As I understand it, she killed her husband, which would put her in the running for the most sinful character in the entire game, but I also believe her husband actually ran Overwatch or something like that, and all's well that ends well. I would like to see her and Creeper settle down and raise a GOD-fearing family in the final level of the game.
• "B.va," named for the colorful euphemism for a woman's 'shame cyst' as we in the medical industry refer to it, is a female Korean "giant robot" pilot and generally a complete brat with no concept of anything except for her own pleasure. Her primary goal in life seems to be to illustrate the nastiest tendencies of loose young women and to wear her "pilot suit" tight enough to distract my boy from my ministrations on the Bible. Otherwise, she is a young, heedless delinquent who spends 25 hours a day playing video games and sitting on her keester doing nothing for anyone. Since this describes nearly 100% of the people who play this game, I understand that she is very popular as a vain example of 'self-insert' gameplay. She is also a reference to "Neon Genesis Evangelion," a Chinese cartoon that is explicitly about a gay boy in a giant robot killing angels and trying to replace GOD! You can't make this stuff up. Or rather, you can, but if you do, you better believe GOD has a place for you in hell. Looks like D.va is "D.void" of any wholesome influence, as are her players.
• Torbjorn: This 'builder' character is industrious, of a healthy Nordic complexion, and generally of good cheer. He also has grown a well-groomed beard fitting of a man's station. While other characters destroy, he creates. You would think this would make him an ideal choice for a "Christian" gamer (not that such a thing often exists), right? WRONG! This "Torbjorn" is not only from Satan's holiday home of Sweden, but he is also a clear adaptation of the mythical race of squat little degenerates known as "dwarves." Ergo, this crafty little shortstack is perhaps the worst character in the game, a gateway for industrious and hard-working children to get suckered into an interest in comparative mythology, and at that point they may as well just go the whole nine yards and declare themselves witches, or worse, congregationalists. My son is never playing as Torbjorn, flat out.
• "Creeper," the true hero of the game, is a man who, when he saw the wages of sin, turned away from the devil's lowly works and turned his attention to the LORD. Undergoing a near-death experience, not entirely unlike CHRIST, Creeper returned, and took after JESUS' example, bringing not peace, but a sword. Like the HOLY SPIRIT, Creeper can move about like a thief in the night, and when he does arrive, he brings the fires of hell to pass judgment on the wicked gallery of sin. Why, I managed to illustrate 2 Peter 3:10 very well to my son using Creeper as an example, and for every soul he collects,HIS faith is that much stronger, and he gains life from them, in the same way that we gain life from the sacrifice of CHRIST. Although he is far from CHRIST HIMself (Creeper is after all a Mexican), as a stand-in illustration, I believe he is a healthy influence.
• "Marcie," the devil in disguise! This wretched hag has the gall to resurrect others without once invoking the LORD JESUS CHRIST'S name. Whatever I have said of other characters, this I say now, she is doubtless the most sinful character in any media I have ever witnessed, a falsely modest, nasty, two-faced liar who would make Hillary Clinton blush! The most thankful part of this game is that she dies easily when not hiding like a gutless coward behind her brainwashed sin puppets. Marcie is the whore of Babylon, which is shown in the game itself! In the character options, players can play as her true form, witness so that you will not be deceived:
  If your child is so lost that they claim to "main" Marcie, do them a favor and prevent them from playing games until they bear children of their own and can be woken up to the tremendous threat posed by characters like this.
• "Zenyoda" is really more of the same Boo-duh worship that we got from Benji, except with more ball-slinging and "free Tibet" pinko nonsense. This robot hippie would have you believe that robots "are like, people too, man," and actually experience feelings, or, laughably, might have souls. As a comedian, Zenyoda would be hilarious, but as a character, it is the same tired old sin, now in a similarly tired, rusty old package. What is there to say about him that CHRIST did not say already about the pagans? This floating little devil has one saving grace, that he is so devoid of anything even remotely interesting that only the most stonered of hippy Demonrats would even think to play him.
• "Gonzo Shimada," an archer with hate in his heart for his brother Benji. While this would increase his standing to me, my son informs me that his only job on the team is to press Q to summon dragons that kill the entire enemy team, so chalk this character up as really just an oriental warlock who exists to promote witchcraft as the answer to all of life's problems. I will laugh when GOD destroys him by turning the great dragons back upon him and ignoring his too-late repentance.
• "Grindhard," a German sex pervert in what I believe is a 'BDSM' sex suit, who goes on and on about his 'big hammer.' When I played him, at one point after hitting many enemies with it, he even openly states "I am on fire!" and I cannot think of a more apt way for him to state that he is a flaming homosexual into buggery and sadomasochism. What cracks me up is that he states "Do not worry my friends, I am your shield," referring to condoms, and then says later that his "shield is giving out," at which point it breaks and his team is flooded with damage, clearly representing AIDS. Even when sinners are confronted with the reality of the situation, they still cannot see past the elements of the parable.
• "Sintown," the talking ape who gave Tracey her time-changing gear. He jumps around, much like an evolutionist jumps from lie to lie to try to confuse Christians, and puts down temporary bubble shields, like how the public school system shields children from the truth that GOD created all things! Sintown is the epitome of the modern scientist or professor: AGODless monkey without a clue who acts as an enabler for his leftist thug buddies in Overwatch. It is a good thing for him that in the world of Overwatch the Bible seems not to exist, or else Sintown might have to admit that his inventions are goofy affronts to CHRIST and that his weapon is mediocre at best. As the Overwatch players say, "No aim, no brain, Sintown main."
• "Sinnetra," an autistic dot Indian who, like the monkey before her, has what she is right in her name, is a Hin-doo who creates portals to hell that her team can pass through, and little imp-like 'sentries' that shoot wicked gouts of hellfire to slow, weaken, and ultimately kill her enemies, passersby, small animals, Christians, bugs, you name it. Two of her 'custom skins' are really just Hin-doo goddess outfits, there really is nothing negative I can say about her that will make you dislike her less than actually watching someone play as her. She is obsessed with order, probably because in India they lack order, electricity, and basic plumbing, and although she talks about 'hard light constructs' all the time, that light comes straight from the lake of fire.
• "Soldier '66," a Vietnam war veteran whom I believe was struck blind by GOD for his arrogance, this former hero decided to turn his back on America and was in fact the former leader of Overwatch. It seems that he went from fighting against communism to fighting for it, all in a matter of decades, much like how Moses was not allowed to enter the promised land, or how in his old age, King Solomon turned his back on the LORD. Soldier '66 sees everything with his wicked digital eyes, except for the truth of CHRIST.
• "Castiron," an old military robot who now believes in nature worship and will lead your children to pantheism and wicca, all for Castiron granting them a brief moment of fame. You see, whoever plays Castiron automatically is what is known as the "player of the game," to be celebrated and given accolades at the end of each level, for having the foresight and lack of scruples to actually choose Castiron. Even among sinners, choosing him is a sign of slothful vanity.
• "Lucifo," a Brazilian slumlord (and likely transsexual) who peddles electronic dance music to the children who play the game. If this game has a pimp of sin, Lucifo, like his namesake, fits the bill. Lucifo has two abilities to help his team. The first is "Speed Boost," in which he gives amphetamines to his fellow players so that they will go faster. The second is "Healing Boost," where he gives 'his jam' (yuck!) to other players all equally, promoting communism, free love, loose sex, and looser morals, to say nothing of the very probable miscegenation that occurred to make him, since he has no Brazilian accent whatsoever.
• "Mickey," a tobacco-smoking cowboy with a belt buckle reading 'BAMF,' meaning "Bad *** mother ******," which sounds bad enough when it simply means a mother who does not raise her children with love and discipline, but I assure you is far worse when you know what the 'A' and 'F' stand for (hint: they are both cuss words). Mickey likes to fan himself with a hammer, I can only assume Grindhard's from earlier, meaning he is the 'bottom' to Grindhard's 'top.' I remember a time when American cowboys were men to look up to, but to see how far we have fallen really brings tears to my eyes.
• Lastly there is a hero--more like zero--not shown here, "Annie," Sarah's mother, who originally taught her how to worship the goofy old idols of Egypt that the Pharaoh was so into when he tried to prevent GOD'S chosen people (well, at the time) from leaving. This old cyclopic crone fires darts of vaccines at her teammates, increasing their levels of autism so that they will ignore injury. Those same vaccines cause damage to her opponents who are mentally healthy, until at last the damage from vaccines becomes so great that they succumb to it. She can also throw pain medication like the kind given to pregnant women at her opponents to cause them to fall into a deep and unwholesome catatonic state, likely in the hopes that the liberal government will pull the plug. Her greatest attack is to 'nanoboost' a character, where she pumps them full of party drugs like PCP, caffeine, and ritalin to make them "trip out" all over her enemies and to make them sexually aroused enough to ignore CHRIST'S word.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion personally I love the game and it helps people with their reaction time and distinguishment between good and evil. Now ***mild insult removed*** off ye ***colloquial reference to self-abuse removed*** and let people enjoy the life they've been given.

Re: Overwatch: Overdue For A Ban!

What if Jesus has nothing to do with it, and it's just a coincidence? I suggest not to delve too deep into numerology, or you'll see 666 everywhere.

As you can see, 666 is everywhere. Here's an example of a popular browser. This shows that the True™ computer viruses are those that have been designed by the Enemy!



Revelation 13:18
Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

As you can also see, there are no coincidences. All things are either designed, allowed or at least monitored by Jesus.

Proverbs 15:3
The eyes of the LORD [are] in every place, beholding the evil and the good.

Re: Overwatch: Overdue For A Ban!

Thank you for the sensible answer, in my time, I have read about lots and lots of books detailing these "plunderings". But, as for the Crusades, you have to see that they had the view that if they conquer Christ's land, they'll go to Heaven. Basically a free pass near to God himself.

Yes. Which is pretty much the same reason why today people belonging to another religion blow themselves up in terrorist attacks. Which I think proves my point that religions make people do really bad things.

They have committed this because of the "Muslim danger", which had eventually come to Europe,

It can also be argued that they created the danger. Arabs lost interest to conquer Europe beyond the Iberian Peninsula after Charles Martel beat them up in Poitiers. The crusades stirred things up again, and of course crusaders murdered and raped everything that moved, because they were unable to differentiate between Muslims, Jews, and Eastern Christians.

The crusade which showcases the absurdity of crusades is the fourth one, which ended up plundering Christian Constantinople. Because geography was not a strong suit of my dear European ancestors, either. OK, I know, it was actually planned this way, because the people who organized it knew there was much more money to be plundered there.

the only thing stopping the Osman Empire conquering the whole continent was the Hungarian Kingdom, which, ironically, fell into three pieces. They were regarded as the "Shield of Europe".

Yes. A few other countries in Europe claim to be that shield as well, for example Poland, which allied itself with the Austrians and Germans against the Ottomans, only to be eliminated as a country by its old allies less than a century later. Maybe both Hungary and Poland would have been better off in the 18th-19th centuries if they had allied themselves with the Ottomans instead?

Also, I was talking about the peace here, the "guns for the peace". This attitude is what causes wars. No one had guns, no one would shoot the other. Maybe I'm just a bit too naive, but that's my belief. I have never hurt anyone, but anyone trying to mess with me or my loved ones will pay.

Unfortunately, it takes just one person who gets a gun to destroy that idyllic utopia.

So, dear, what's your standing here? Let's suppose my daughter is raped. What would I do? Let her be the wife of a violent motherhubbard, or just settle it like a gentleman and dispose the waste? I'd say the second. No one messes with my loved ones.

But, what is more important, dear? A little bit of inconvenience of living the rest of her mortal life with the man who raped her, or the eternal suffering in Hell for not following God's orders?

Where I draw the line depends on me, not on some thousand old manuscript pulled out from some deranged idiot's rectal cavity.

Re: Overwatch: Overdue For A Ban!

You know? My grandson listens to metal. At 88 years old, I can enjoy a tune or two of metal.
But I think you are walking on thin ice here. Accusing others of being rapists or taking the free will of another person while listening to Metal? Mmm...

I will take a true representative of the metal genre. A group that nobody can discuss it belongs to metal music: it is called Cannibal Corpse.

Let's see their most famous songs:

-I will kill you
-Addicted to Vaginal Skin
-piffleed with a knife
-Stripped, raped and strangled
-Necropedophile

Just 5 examples of the music you are defending here. And 5 examples that go nearly as far as the Bible in behaviours that will be deemed as "crime" in our society.

So my friend, I invite you to take a few minutes of reflexion and see that this people are the only ones that really understand what religion is, and they decided to follow that religion. The only ones that Marx would not call "deluded" by the religion.

Oh, wow, another man who enjoys the genre of Metal. Never thought I'd "meet" another person on a forum completely devoid of any "true metal fans". I'm an Iron Maiden person, but I also enjoy some Slipknot, too. Lately I've been listening a bit too much "Psychosocial", and I think I am starting to understnd what they would like to convey.
There are songs in the Metal and Rock genre that focus entirely on one or another "criminal" activity. There is Slayer's "Necrophobic", "Raining Blood", "Angel of Death", "Seasons in the Abyss", or let's see, Steel Panther focuses entirely on sexual content. The Maiden song of "Bring Me Your Daughter... To The Slaughter", "2 Minutes to Midnight" or "Iron Maiden" is another shiny example of violence. But there are tame songs as well, like "Face in the Sand", Coming Home", "Losfer Words (Big 'Orra)" or "Transylvania". So, there are a ton of different songs, even from the same band can create violent or non-violent music. The choice is there, but people can choose whether they listen to the aggressive side or the "soft" side.

My transitions lenses do not have a lilac tint, dear. That would be just weird.

Baptism is based 100% on the Holy Bible. Catholicism relies more on tradition accrued over time which allows it to ignore Bible quite often. (Not the same...?)

Not according to Jesus, dear. (You sicken me.)

Slavery is OK according to the Bible. In fact, the Holy Bible contains detailed instructions on how to treat your slaves:

[completely unnecessary citation]

That's your opinion. De gustibus et coloribus non est disputandum. (Yes, we get it, you are witty and can use the language of the dead. Anything else?)

Please explain: how is my expertise on my religion's Holy Book making me ignorant?

Not according to Jesus. (You live in a country that is governed by men, not Jesus. Keep that in mind.)

Well, have you been raped, then married? Or have you married with a normal person, who doesn't do these things? So, dear, what's your standing here? Let's suppose my daughter is raped. What would I do? Let her be the wife of a violent motherhubbard, or just settle it like a gentleman and dispose the waste? I'd say the second. No one messes with my loved ones.

Period.

Hello Mr. Nomad. If I may provide a tiny correction to the statement above, it's not the members of this lovely community who portray Jesus in this way. Don't shoot the messenger; they simply repeat how the Holy Bible portrays Him. And as you might know, the Holy Bible is the sole evidence that Jesus ever existed, so it seems quite logical to use it to deduce His character.

Have you ever heard of the Crusades? Religious wars in Europe? Extirpation of idolatry in Latin America?

Christianity in its 2000 years of existence has been used repeatedly to justify genocide, torture, rape, slavery, misogyny, homophobia, and countless other ways of oppression. If you call that "promoting peace over violence," then your definition of "peace" must be very different from mine.

Here is a helpful thread listing some of the slaughters committed in the name of Jesus, contrasted with slaughters committed in the names of other deities.

Thank you for the sensible answer, in my time, I have read about lots and lots of books detailing these "plunderings". But, as for the Crusades, you have to see that they had the view that if they conquer Christ's land, they'll go to Heaven. Basically a free pass near to God himself.

Okay, first off: Rock and metal music has a meaning that you obscure people do not see, because you view the world through lilac-tinted glasses, second: the only ignorant here is you, who deny that Christianity and Baptism share common roots, third: rape is just as abominable as anal rape, so, there is no distinction, rape is rape, period, fourth: the quote from the "holy king james bible" can be seen as slavery, too, which, in my point of view, takes away the free will of another person, which is just as bad as rape in itself.

Conclusion: I listen to meaningful music; you are the only ignorant here; rape is bad, got it?; slavery is just as bad as rape, got it? Good.

Let there be Metal,
The Nomad

You know? My grandson listens to metal. At 88 years old, I can enjoy a tune or two of metal.
But I think oyu are walking on thin ice here. Accusing others of being rapists or taking the free will of another person while listening to Metal? Mmm...


I will take a true representative of the metal genre. A group that nobody can discuss it belongs to metal music: it is called Cannibal Corpse.


Let's see their most famous songs:


-I will kill you
-Addicted to Vaginal Skin
-FucKed with a knife
-Stripped, raped and strangled
-Necropedophile


Just 5 examples of the music you are defending here. And 5 examples that go nearly as far as the Bible in behaviours that will be deemed as "crime" in our society.


So my friend, I invite you to take a few minutes of reflexion and see that this people are the only ones that really understand what religion is, and they decided to follow that religion. The only ones that Marx would not call "deluded" by the religion.

Re: The Hate Of Man, The Love Of God, And The Problems

And they say that Jesus was a xenophobic, pedophilic, deranged madman,

Hello Mr. Nomad. If I may provide a tiny correction to the statement above, it's not the members of this lovely community who portray Jesus in this way. Don't shoot the messenger; they simply repeat how the Holy Bible portrays Him. And as you might know, the Holy Bible is the sole evidence that Jesus ever existed, so it seems quite logical to use it to deduce His character.

Christianity, and for the love of god, baptism too, promotes peace over violence,

Have you ever heard of the Crusades? Religious wars in Europe? Extirpation of idolatry in Latin America?

Christianity in its 2000 years of existence has been used repeatedly to justify genocide, torture, rape, slavery, misogyny, homophobia, and countless other ways of oppression. If you call that "promoting peace over violence," then your definition of "peace" must be very different from mine.

Here is a helpful thread listing some of the slaughters committed in the name of Jesus, contrasted with slaughters committed in the names of other deities.

No. I'm afraid I don't. Could you please clarify?

My transitions lenses do not have a lilac tint, dear. That would be just weird.

second: the only ignorant here is you, who deny that Christianity and Baptism share common roots,

Baptism is based 100% on the Holy Bible. Catholicism relies more on tradition accrued over time which allows it to ignore Bible quite often.

third: rape is just as abominable as anal rape, so, there is no distinction, rape is rape, period,

Not according to Jesus, dear.

fourth: the quote from the "holy king james bible" can be seen as slavery, too, which, in my point of view, takes away the free will of another person, which is just as bad as rape in itself.

Slavery is OK according to the Bible. In fact, the Holy Bible contains detailed instructions on how to treat your slaves:

Leviticus 25:44-46
44 Both thy bondmen, and thy bondmaids, which thou shalt have, shall be of the heathen that are round about you; of them shall ye buy bondmen and bondmaids.
45 Moreover of the children of the strangers that do sojourn among you, of them shall ye buy, and of their families that are with you, which they begat in your land: and they shall be your possession.
46 And ye shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them for a possession; they shall be your bondmen for ever: but over your brethren the children of Israel, ye shall not rule one over another with rigour.

Exodus 21:20-21
20 And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he die under his hand; he shall be surely punished.
21 Notwithstanding, if he continue a day or two, he shall not be punished: for he is his money.

Including instructions on how to acquire and treat your sex slaves:

Exodus 21:7-8
7 And if a man sell his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall not go out as the menservants do.
8 If she please not her master, who hath betrothed her to himself, then shall he let her be redeemed: to sell her unto a strange nation he shall have no power, seeing he hath dealt deceitfully with her.

Deuteronomy 21:10-14
10 When thou goest forth to war against thine enemies, and the Lord thy God hath delivered them into thine hands, and thou hast taken them captive,
11 And seest among the captives a beautiful woman, and hast a desire unto her, that thou wouldest have her to thy wife;
12 Then thou shalt bring her home to thine house, and she shall shave her head, and pare her nails;
13 And she shall put the raiment of her captivity from off her, and shall remain in thine house, and bewail her father and her mother a full month: and after that thou shalt go in unto her, and be her husband, and she shall be thy wife.
14 And it shall be, if thou have no delight in her, then thou shalt let her go whither she will; but thou shalt not sell her at all for money, thou shalt not make merchandise of her, because thou hast humbled her.

Conclusion: I listen to meaningful music;

That's your opinion. De gustibus et coloribus non est disputandum.

you are the only ignorant here;

Please explain: how is my expertise on my religion's Holy Book making me ignorant?

rape is bad, got it?; slavery is just as bad as rape, got it? Good.

Not according to Jesus.
