As much as I did fancy having a go its got nothing to do with being uneducated or bigotted. Its about the fact that it reads like she is seeing games as unholy and has to claim that even with Jesus' support the evil of video games is still corrupting her son. As that is insane, she therefore loses credability and is laughable.
I want you to answer me one question: Where in the article does it say anything about her thinking video games are evil, or where does it say her decision was based on her faith?
This is getting out of hand. People that want to make these assumptions should be moderated. The level of bigotry and ignorance on this forum is way out of control, and nobody seems to want to step in to take a stand. I have been in the R+P section for a few days, debating with people there, and I thought that section was bad. It's tame compared to the comments going on here.
I joined this community because it stood out from others on the net, because of the great userbase here. I don't know what has happened, but it's starting to become like the Wild West, and I no longer feel like I am welcome here, because of my faith. After all, if you are so quick to admonish some woman in Boston because she makes a small statement about seeking help from her church, why would anybody think I have any credibility in anything I say? It is clear the majority of this community does not want Christians around, and intend to be completely disrespectful towards them.
This post reminds me of a younger me. Of course I gave up on trying to get any shred of understanding or tolerance out of this mass of antagonistic and ignorant folk quite some time ago. Now I just come here on occasion for some videos, the few good articles, and to look down on the forum community as the giant pile of hypocrites they are.
"oh the media always labels games as evil! They just don't understand! If only they were less ignorant and didn't stereotype or generalise our community! ...This woman mentioned 'church' in the story so she is obviously crazy and thinks video games are the devil."
Its painful how easily you people find stupidity in others and yet never seem to notice the others finding just as much stupidity in you. No one is perfect, and everyone deserves the benefit of the doubt. Innocent before proven guilty? Apparently not. More like guilty before even proven guilty, that should be the new motto of the forums or something.
It must be lonely up there on you're obviously so hypocrisy and stupidity free pedestal. Really I dunno how you do it without even managing to fall off once, you really must be like a God. Oh hang on, the phones rining. *speaks into reciever* Uh huh, oh, yeah I'll tell him. So that was the head of the sarcasm society, apparently he's detecting a strong source of sarcasm in this post. Just thought I'd give you the heads up incase your tiny brain couldn't understand what was going on here.
News flash, the forums aren't the giant pool of slime you think they are, most of the people here are decent, some of the time, and that the only piece of hypocrisy I've seen around in awhile is coming from your post, and mate, its screaming at me like a crazy child looking for its next chocolate fix. Maybe you should work on that.
I'm not on a stupidity and hypocrisy free pedestal... if anyone sounds like they are its you looking down on me right now. I think I'm stupid and hypocritical too, but I also think you made an 'ass' out of 'u' and your 'mptions' just now by assuming I was looking down on everyone like some kind of fucking elitist piece of shit. I think we're all stupid and hypocritical, thats how human beings are. Its painful and I hate it, but it cant really be changed. What I was saying, is that people should be given the benefit of the doubt, which you clearly failed to do in this post. I'm sorry if this is your knee jerk reaction to me saying anything even somewhat critical about you or the forum you call home, but I wasn't looking down on anyone or being a complete elitist asshole... unlike you.
I just grow so tired of having to explain myself 8 freaking times and still have no one understand what I'm saying. I'm tired of people being blatantly hypocritical and ignorant and then touting this forum as the most advanced and intelligent place on the internet. I'm tired of this community and their apparently infallability while when I say anything at all, all of a sudden what I said gets transformed into what someone else assumed I was leading towards, which I never actually said or meant to say, and then all of a sudden I'm a complete asshole for thinking human beings are flawed, or that having double standards is kind of hypocritical.
I could go on forever, but I'm not sure if I'm even saying anything, or leading up to some kind of point. All I know is that no matter what I say you'll take it and twist it into some kind of stupid arguement or point I didn't even make and then twist it to make it seem like I'm a complete moron. If you really don't think every human being (including you and me) are flawed and do stupid things then I doubt I can convince you otherwise.
