Re: Minecraft: Makes children sex slaves and destroys our economy!
But Hell believes in you.

Re: Minecraft: Makes children sex slaves and destroys our economy!
I think everyone in this entire thread is going about this issue the wrong way.
First off, let me state that I am theist agnostic. Agnostic means I neither believe nor disbelieve in a god, and the theist part means I lean towards there being a god.
Now, I would like to believe there is a god. Not God with a capital G. I just dislike organized religion.
If God is a kind, benevolent being, he would not create things for people to hate. If you say that God wants you to hate homosexuals, if you say homosexuals are unnatural, you would, in theory, be undermining the "power" of God, because if he didn't create homosexuals, Satan did, right? If homosexuals are SO BAD, why doesn't God just get rid of them? If you say he keeps them because he loves all creatures, then you, too, should love all creatures, including homosexual human beings. The only other reason God would not remove something unnatural or created by Satan is because he does not have the POWER to do so.
So which is it? Is God a loving being and everyone is misunderstanding him, or is he not as all-powerful as you think?
Or is he actually a hateful being, who creates things for you to hate and shun?
Now with that being said, Minecraft is being misrepresented here.
Firstly, I will not deny that there could be pedophiles on Minecraft. There could be pedophiles anywhere on the internet; there could be pedophiles on this very site.
See, I don't read the bible, but I was able to make an account, yes?
Secondly, griefing is when a person logs onto a public server. They break things and ruin people's work just to be spiteful or to make people hurt and angry.
I noticed a post earlier that claimed a non-religious person who came onto the site just to talk about this thread was griefing, because they got on here just to incite an sngry response.
Whether or not that is true I can't say. I can, however, say I am NOT trying to make people angry, just a little aware and hopefully a little bit more open minded.
Again. If God didn't want you to be open minded, why did he give you the capability? Why didn't he just make you like an ant, whose brain is so small they can only process basic urges? Did Satan make us able to be tolerant and open minded? Again, is God just a mean person who makes it very easy for us to go to "Hell"?
Also, and this is what really bothers me. The American way of going to McDonalds, and it being evil to create your own tools.
YES. Giving the means of production to the working class IS, indeed, socialism. But the opposite is communism. Anyways, that's not the point.
So do you bible-lovers really think it is evil to be creative and make your own things? It is unAmerican to make your own food?
Ok. Saying that the above statements are true. That means that you want OTHER countries to make food and make things so we can just buy it, right?
Then fine. That's going to sell us to China.
When we only buy food and things from other countries, and NOT PRODUCE anything of our own, how do WE make money? We don't. American companies are currently outsourcing jobs to China because it's cheaper to manufacture in China.
Strike one. We are paying Chinese to make our products. That's already some flow of money to China.
And then, that makes the products cheaper. Makes sense, right? Cheaper to make, cheaper to sell. But as we Americans lose out jobs to China, because as you say, being creative and making our own things is evil, we have less and less money with which to buy these cheaper goods.
But oh wait! China has a lot of money, OUR money! They can buy our cheap goods.
They will slowly buy America out because there aren't enough creative small businesses making products that other countries want to buy. THis is why America owes so much money to other countries. We buy lots and lots of products from other countries without making much money ourselves.
I try to live my life by thinking about things for myself. If someone tells you what to do for your entire life, you never know if they are manipulating you. If you live your whole life underground, you may think the sky is a lie. I really hope everyone who reads this sits down and thinks about being respectful and polite, and also, WHY do you believe in God? Is God kind? Is God the type of person or being that I would like to obey and listen to? WHY do I obey God?
Also note. People who "sin" and go to "Hell" would be going to a place where they can be with similar people who like similar things, even though they are "evil". They would be going to "Hell" for enjoying things and being true to themselves. While some people who would go to Hell are mean and might deserve it, I think being eternally punished because you stood up for what makes you happy and what YOU believe in is being a martyr in the end.
I think everyone in this entire thread is going about this issue the wrong way.
First off, let me state that I am theist agnostic.
YAWN tl;dr
Then you're going to Hell.

Um, no.
Agnostic means you don't believe it's possible to know God. It's the opposite of gnostic.
Theist means you believe there is a God, not "lean toward" something. It's the opposite of atheist.
Learn the definitions of words before using them, Sparky.
Now, I would like to believe there is a god. Not God with a capital G. I just dislike organized religion.
What makes you think your likes or dislikes matter to God and His Commands?
If God is a kind, benevolent being, he would not create things for people to hate. If you say that God wants you to hate homosexuals, if you say homosexuals are unnatural, you would, in theory, be undermining the "power" of God, because if he didn't create homosexuals, Satan did, right?

So which is it? Is God a loving being and everyone is misunderstanding him, or is he not as all-powerful as you think?
Neither. God creates evil as well as good. He brags about the fact repeatedly in the Bible. You'd know this if you read it, instead of trying to make up a god who just happens to agree with everything you believe (that is, worshiping yourself) and then trying to prove it exists.
Or is he actually a hateful being, who creates things for you to hate and shun?
Wrong again. He creates them for Himself to damn.
blah blah nonsense about video games
Also note. People who "sin" and go to "Hell" would be going to a place where they can be with similar people who like similar things, even though they are "evil". They would be going to "Hell" for enjoying things and being true to themselves. While some people who would go to Hell are mean and might deserve it, I think being eternally punished because you stood up for what makes you happy and what YOU believe in is being a martyr in the end.
Once again, why do you think God cares what YOU think?
Hell isn't a cavern under the ground where people have wild orgies and fun. It is a lake of fire created by God, in which you will be burned alive, forever, unable to die and unable to escape.
No parties.
Bible boring? Nonsense! Try Bible in a Year with Brother V, or join Shirlee and the kids as they discuss Real Bible Stories! You can't be a Christian if you don't know God's Word!
Re: Minecraft: Makes children sex slaves and destroys our economy!
Sorry, I noticed a couple of other things worth addressing in your rant about Chinese people at McDonald's, or whatever you were yammering about.
Firstly, I will not deny that there could be pedophiles on Minecraft. There could be pedophiles anywhere on the internet; there could be pedophiles on this very site.
See, I don't read the bible, but I was able to make an account, yes?
So you admit to being a pedophile?
Again. If God didn't want you to be open minded, why did he give you the capability? Why didn't he just make you like an ant, whose brain is so small they can only process basic urges? Did Satan make us able to be tolerant and open minded?
He didn't 'give' us the capability. Adam and Eve stole it:
The serpent had some important information for Eve. It asked her if God had told her she could eat from any tree in the garden. She said, “Well, we can eat from any of the trees except that one in the middle of the garden. He says that we shouldn’t eat from it or even touch it, because we will die.”
The snake knew this wasn’t true. (I think he had already eaten from it himself!) He said, “No, you won’t die. God just knows that if you eat from the tree, you’ll be like Him and know good from evil!”
That sounded pretty good to Eve, because she was naked and not very intelligent and figured she could change for the better.
Shirlee paused. “Now, while there’s no evidence that Satan was the snake, it’s possible that the snake’s descendants aren’t all serpents. The snake may well be an ancestor of Oprah, who also teaches people ways to improve themselves without God.”
So, Eve ate the fruit and found that, contrary to what God had said, she didn’t die! Not wanting to be superior to her husband, she gave some to Adam to eat.
>POOF!< The magic fruit made them able to understand good from evil. For the first moment, they knew the difference between right and wrong!
See? God didn't make us able to sin; Eve chose to bring sin into the world!
Again, is God just a mean person who makes it very easy for us to go to "Hell"?
Your government provides laws which you must obey. If you break those laws, you go to prison. If you break certain of them, you get killed.
Are the police just mean people who make it very easy for you to go to prison? Of course not. They are just enforcing the law.
Similarly (governments copied God on this), God lays out His Law in the Bible. Over 600 Commands (not just ten). He also tells you the consequences for breaking any of those Commands.
You choose to break His Law. He's not forcing you to do so.
Bible boring? Nonsense! Try Bible in a Year with Brother V, or join Shirlee and the kids as they discuss Real Bible Stories! You can't be a Christian if you don't know God's Word!
Re: Minecraft: Makes children sex slaves and destroys our economy!
I don't even. By your username this is a joke correct?
1. "Makes children sex slave": Wow. Just, wow. How? Those "Walking penises" are called creepers. You didn't even do research on it, did you? Also, that picture of what you called masterbating, you never had played the game. There is no sexual or nudity anywhere. It's a childrens game for gods sake! It's community driven, so you can expect some major flaws.
2."Destroys our economy!": How in the world would it destroy our economy? Bullshit. None of this game worships the demon, or supports it. Again, you the player can build anything, so it can be completely no-satan free. Also, that pic featured a TEXTURE PACK. It's, again, community driven. Read above.
I've played minecraft in-between work and college. I have to say it is perfectly fine. In fact, it may be educational! You can design your own skin/character. It also has a good easy software easily being avalible to modify, to make it as your own. The community also has a few, fun, safe mods. You don't have to use multiplayer either. Singlerplayer mode all the way!
If you want to debate people, THIS is the place to go.
Please make a thread of your own in the "Introductions" section of the forum, so that we can properly greet you. Tell us about yourself, your church, and how you came to find Jesus.
And if you're here to flame us, better take a look at THIS before making an even bigger ass out of yourself.
Here is a partial list from just a few scripture verses:
Hypocrites (Matthew 24:51), The Unforgiving (Mark 11:26), Homosexuals (Romans 1:26, 27), Fornicators (Romans 1:29), The Wicked (Romans 1:29), The Covetous (Romans 1:29), The Malicious (Romans 1:29), The Envious (Romans 1:29), Murderers (Romans 1:29), The Deceitful (Romans 1:29), Backbiters (Romans 1:30), Haters of God (Romans 1:30), The Despiteful (Romans 1:30), The Proud (Romans 1:30), Boasters (Romans 1:30), Inventors of evil (Romans 1:30), Disobedient to parents (Romans 1:30), Covenant breakers (Romans 1:31), The Unmerciful (Romans 1:31), The Implacable (Romans 1:31), The Unrighteous (1Corinthians 6:9), Idolaters (1Corinthians 6:9), Adulterers (1Corinthians 6:9), The Effeminate (1Corinthians 6:9), Thieves (1Corinthians 6:10), Drunkards (1Corinthians 6:10), Reviler (1Corinthians 6:10), Extortioners (1Corinthians 6:10), The Fearful (Revelation 21:8), The Unbelieving (Revelation 21:8), The Abominable (Revelation 21:8), Whoremongers (Revelation 21:8), Sorcerers (Revelation 21:8), All Liars (Revelation 21:8)
Re: Minecraft: Makes children sex slaves and destroys our economy!
Greetings, I used to play minecraft with my friends. That is, until I read this thread and realized how evil this game really is. I've had issue with games like "Elder Scrolls" or "Diablo" Before. However, Minecraft seems to be way more pernicious since its evilness is hidden. I've played it for a few months, What can I do to redeem myself ?
Also, Would you happen to know any video games that encourage christianism.
When you are done there, please take a moment to create a post on the Introduction forum, telling us about yourself and how you came to find Christ.
As for video games that promote the Christian lifestyle, I would recommend Left Behind: Eternal Forces. If atheists and joos in the game don't convert to Christianity, you get to kill them! It is truly a beacon of light that shines in the dark world of video games. Praise!
II Thessalonians 1:7-9 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power
The man who is being progressively sanctified will inescapably sanctify his home, school, politics, economics, science, and all things else by understanding and interpreting all things in terms of the Word of God and by bringing all things under the Dominion of Christ the King. -R.J. Rushdoony
If Minecraft is an evil creation of Satan, you should check out the wargaming called Warhammer 40.000
Why, so I sit on a server full of 'tards with dork names like Choas666 whose main draw to the game is to see two toons with huge metal tallywackers do the gay ERP on global chat? My what fun.
Time to reclaim our FREEDOM from the “Mullah in Chief” and his growing activist voter hoards of socialists, communists, anti-Semites, anti-Christians, atheists, radical gays and lesbians, feminists, illegal immigrants, Muslims, anti-Anglo whites and others.

Thats the beauty of it, there is no Servers, its not a video game, its a miniatures games using Turn-based gameplay to wage war in a distant futur.
There is the Imperium of Man, who prays and lives and die for their Immortal Savior, who sacrified himself to save them.
And there is the Legions of Chaos, who adores the wicked Dark God of Satasnism.
Thats the beauty of it, there is no Servers, its not a video game, its a miniatures games using Turn-based gameplay to wage war in a distant futur.
Failure #1
Failure #2
Turn based, gay-ERP with lead miniatures is hardly less perverted and ungodly that doing it on line.
Time to reclaim our FREEDOM from the “Mullah in Chief” and his growing activist voter hoards of socialists, communists, anti-Semites, anti-Christians, atheists, radical gays and lesbians, feminists, illegal immigrants, Muslims, anti-Anglo whites and others.
