The Anti-Religion gamer.

[Tdc2182]

And my faith in the Escapist community is once again reformed. You guys are seriously taking me on a rollercoaster here.

i am anti religion. i am a gamer. i am an athiest. the difference is that im not an asshole (when i dont want to be ) i dont force my beliefs onto other people. i dont say that God isnt real to religious people, even though that is what i think.

the trolls are the bad people, not anti religious people.

but i guess there are exceptions to every rule, and maybe right now i am one of them.

Stupid people are dumb.

Most anti-religion people blame religions for hating free thought. Then they go around calling people idiots for believing in religions. I'm an atheist, and I think the anti-religion atheists are just annoying.

I second this. I'm an atheist as well, and those people who senselessly bash religion just annoy the piss out of me.
People are dicks, especially when the internet lets them say things like that without the obligatory get-your-fucking-skull-caved-in session that usually follows.

Trolling, dude.

It's just trolling.

Some people really do feel that they must tell everyone their views on religion because they think its more right than someone elses.

 

[Looking For Alaska]

I used to say things like that when I was around 12 and first became an atheist. They do it to feel smart.

Argh! Religion is bad! Because it is! But it's also good! So it sucks as an arguement! But yeah...
Agnostics, or gnosticism, is not atheism at all, but is instead a belief in a rather broad philosophy system that includes the spiritual hierarchies of many major religions. Most gnostic texts are religious and concern the existence and matter of God, there are gnostic books in the bible, and a cornucopia of gnostic texts held by the roman catholic church as supplements to the bible.
Buddhists are not aesthetics either, as Buddha made reference and accounted to the ancient gods and ancestors of his culture. He also sat under a tree for 20 years and got people to cater to his every whim.
Religion for the most part can be spiritual, propaganda, simply a good way to do something productive and good, or a way to dump on other people for whatever it is you hate. You take from religion what you want. But don't go around shaking your fist at the sky and demanding some giant magic spirit prove his or her or it's existance to you, because really...what makes you so important?

Agnostics and gnostics are two different things. Buddha's references to the gods may well have been multi-layered: As an example to the philosophical Buddhists and as a myth or sacred text to religious Buddhists. The Tao certainly reads this way. And I got everything I wanted and more by shaking my fist at the sky. I don't recommend it to everyone, tho'. Some of the more was a bit much...

 

[JourneyThroughHell]

It's just ordinary trolling...
I'm quite sure it has absolute crap to do with religion.

 

[Volafortis]

And thats why I moved to PSN and Steam

EDIT: OT: Im Agnostic, but I rip it out of the "Anti-Religion gamer", as they are usually as dumb as my pet rock (Sorry rocky), so any form of logic and they shut up.

Right because this is just an XBL thing and not an internet thing. Good plan.

Well I hear next to none of it on the other two systems, (even though I am still paying for XBL Gold -.-). I do realise it is everywhere though

Uhh, there are quite a few on PSN, but I only ever encounter them in MAG.

This is probably one of the best posts I've seen all day.
Read it.

OT:
Ugh, I hate it when people insist on forcing their beliefs(even if they are my own) on other's. Though atheist,I am prone to the phrase "Oh my god"(though more recently "Oh. Your. God) and as a result and am often "corrected" by fellow atheist. I hate trolls, and how they can wear the same guise as me.

 

[Warped_Ghost]

They are probly not even anti religous but just guys looking to be rude for fun.

 

[Buffoon]

I'm anti-religion, I don't like it, I think humanity would be better off without it, but what the OP is talking about is just immature little trolls who will use any excuse to irritate and annoy and basically just boost their fragile little egos.

 

[FallenJellyDoughnut]

Roundhouse kick them through your Television screen. They are meer trolls and should be taken down on sight, show no remorse.

Attack the weak point for massive damage, yo.

And use a Water-type, because they are Super Effective against trolls.

On religion in gaming, your friendly neighborhood commentator got the definitive word in way back in 2001. I take the luxury of quoting myself:

The nice thing about religion in video games is that it's non-denominational. If you're a Christian, imagine your people devoting their lives to the Lord Jesus Christ. If you're a Muslim, imagine your people bowing toward Mecca and sending their prayers to the Great Allah. If you're an atheist named Dave, imagine that the little peons on the screen worship their Lord and Savior the Great Lord Dave. Imagine that their lives revolve around preparing for the Coming of the Great Dave to save them from the evil clutches of All That Which Is Not Dave. Whatever gets you through.

I've never heard anything like that however many of the nerdy gamer demographic will have some superiority complex and therefore religion = for idiots to them.

 

[Shycte]

It's because hating religon is the new cool thing to do.

As you said, look at this forum.

Religon is the new Halo.

I'm anti-religion, and I'm far from dumb, sir.

You may wish to use proper grammar and spelling before insulting anyone else's intellect.

And you may want to read my post good sir, I said "usually".

 

[MiracleOfSound]

They do it because in real life they just got pushed into a locker and had thier lunch money taken by bullies.

 

[CloakedOne]

Now note how I didn't say athiest, because i don't hate them

So if they are an atheist, you hate them?
