hmmm... You said hitler was bad, yet you have a kkk member as an avatar, now there's irony if I ever saw it. Minecraft isn't doing anything wrong, in fact it's very entertaining t many people

Hitler was a ring-kissing papist idiot. The KKK have contributed greatly to the peace and tranquility of our Christian nation, it says so in the school books.

From the accounts I read lynching black men accused of crimes was found to be very entertaining by the white specters in tthe 1920's. So does that make lynching blacks an acceptable thing?

that site was saying that those facts were untrue, if you had looked at the title with facts in inverted commas, implying they weren't facts at all.

no it doesn't I never said it did. playing a game is socially acceptable, while beating people up because of their ethnicity is not. You can learn more about it when you start taking your religious beliefs with a grain of salt and joining modern society

Re: Minecraft: Makes children sex slaves and destroys our economy!

...and that's why Christians like you guys have such a bad name.
In america, we have freedom of choice when it comes to religion.
That means same-sex marriage should be allowed in all 50 states.
It doesn't affect you guys, so I don't see why you care.

In America, voters have happily banned sodomarriage in 38 states, with 12 to go.

Romney-Ryan is predicted to win by a landslide, too!

Ken Bickers from CU-Boulder and Michael Berry from CU-Denver, the two political science professors who devised the prediction model, say that it has correctly forecast every winner of the electoral race since 1980.


“Based on our forecasting model, it becomes clear that the president is in electoral trouble,” Bickers said in a press statement.


To predict the race’s outcome, the model uses economic indicators from all 50 states and it shows 320 electoral votes for Romney and 218 for Obama, according to The Associated Press. The model also suggests that Romney will win every state currently considered a swing state which includes Florida, Virginia, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Minnesota, New Hampshire and Colorado.

There are only nine "toss-up" seats in the Senate, and Republicans lead in 5 of those races, with one too close to call. They only need to gain 4 to have control of the Senate!

2013 will be the start of a True Christian(tm) Nation, under complete Republican control.

Some things you can look forward to in 2013:

Constitutional amendment to ban abortion, with no exception for rape or incest. (From GOP 2012 platform)

While much of the rest of the platform is still being kept under wraps, inside sources have revealed that the platform will urge the expulsion of homosexuals from the military, and deny equal protection under the law to same-sex couples (it'll be ok not to serve them in restaurants or let them stay in hotels).

No word about a Constitutional ban on sodomarriage, but I'm sure we'll hear about it soon.

As for it not affecting us . . . every time a sodomite is portrayed as "normal" and "ok", any number of young people who might otherwise have turned back to Jesus and avoided damnation are tempted to follow the same highway to Hell, where God will burn them alive for all time in His Lake of Fire, alongside the likes of Lady Gaga and Harvey Fierstein.

Re: Minecraft: Makes children sex slaves and destroys our economy!

no it doesn't I never said it did. playing a game is socially acceptable, while beating people up because of their ethnicity is not.

So you, like all atheists, are a moral relativist. If it's socially acceptable, that is, a majority of the people around you think it's OK, then it's OK. Right?

So you agree that if a gang of Muslim men want to gang-rape the daughter of a man who cheated them in a business deal, it's OK, even though the daughter is a teenager who knows nothing about the business deal, because their society says that's OK behavior. Right?

And you agree that if an Indonesian Muslim woman rejects a man's romantic advances, it's quite acceptable for him to throw acid in her face, because it's OK in their culture. Yes?

How about a little closer to home. Is it OK for Christians to lock their children in their Prayer Closets for a couple of hours, because they have sinned and need time to reflect? After all, that's a normal thing to do in our culture.

socially acceptable? ok I forgot your country is backward and fucked up. let me rephrase as morally correct

Re: Minecraft: Makes children sex slaves and destroys our economy!

beliefs in what?

Taken your own beliefs with a grain of salt? Taken the time to learn what others actually believe (rarely is it what you've been told)? Read texts from other religions (Koran, Torah, Talmud, Bhagavad Gita, etc.)?

You do know that the Bible promises damnation for anyone who doubts the message, as you invite them to by asking them to "start taking your religious beliefs with a grain of salt"? Why would they even consider doing so just because some kid on the internet tells them to?

Oh, so you agree doing immoral acts is not excused by popularity?

And by the way, the Nazis were quite the modernists and eagerly embraced all kinds of high technology for the time like rockets, jet engines and TV.

Re: Minecraft: Makes children sex slaves and destroys our economy!

socially acceptable? ok I forgot your country is backward and piffleed up. let me rephrase as morally correct

You're the one who said things were "socially acceptable", and that was how you judged them.

We in America don't allow Muslims to gang-rape their enemies' daughters, or throw acid in the faces of women who reject them. Those are other cultures. We do not consider such actions acceptable.

Since you now say you judge things by what is "morally correct", how do you determine what is morally correct?

a society based entirely around a religion would not function. There is just far to many taboos and the population that would be treated fairly would be tiny. Basically the economy would revert to that of a third world or second world country (primary or secondary sector too big, tertiary sector to small) as the dominant amount of major world religions justify slavery. Because slaves generally work in less skilled jobs that would be why that would happen to the economy

Why hasn't it happened to Saudi Arabia? That's a theocracy. So is Dubai, one of the wealthiest countries in the world. As is Israel.

Why was the Islamic Caliphate so successful? How about the Ottoman Empire?

The Holy Roman Empire (Catholic) ran Europe for centuries, unopposed.

Before that, the previous Roman Empire was also a theocracy, in which Caesar was to be worshiped as a god.

Ancient Egypt was one of the most advanced civilizations before the dawn of the Industrial Age, and was . . . you guessed it, a theocracy.

Have you ever read a history book or considered the cultures of the world outside your own mother's basement? Your statement is the epitome of ignorance.
