First of all, I want to point out that both AC and Dante's inferno are about the crusades, a time period that most extreme Christians conveniently forget about every time they decide that something that they don't like "causes violence."wouldyoukindly99 said:Altair doesn't only kill christian morons, he kills both muslims and christians to end a senseless war that the christians started in the first place! God damn fundies.
Really? Guitar Hero? So playing a simulation that features a five sided star is grounds for being tortured for all eternity in unending agony to these people? I said it once and I'll say it again, God damn fundies.
How does fighting demons in Dante's Inferno make you eligible for hell? I thought demons were bad?
Also, I never really get how killing demons is considered bad either.
Everyone here seems to think Altair is a muslim. In fact, he's atheist. If you're going to argue anything about the game being anti-christian, argue the fact that they pretty much imply to the point of just stopping short of saying that Jesus used the apple to convince people of his power, or use the ending or hidden scene of AC2.Mr.PlanetEater said:Oh I do love Christian Ignorance, Assassin's creed is yes about a Muslim Assassin killing Christians. Not because they're Christians but because its set during the Crusades, and if you didn't fall asleep during history you'll know the Christians were the ones at fault, and the biggest douches of it.
As for Dante, as I have said MANY times before, it really has a lot of messages that one could consider to be quite deep, such as the question of justified violence, true love vs. law of heaven (is true love actually considered good), and of course the classic of don't make deals with the devil (especially not bets against beings of higher power than you).
Funnily enough, there's more story to that then just the famous quote they were referencing. Namely, its a reference to the angels Lucifer and Michael about serving Jesus (It's funny that I was able to find and the fundy couldn't pick that out). Also, wasn't the whole game about Revelations? It should be worth mentioning then that not all angels in that book were... nice (some of them were locked up in a pit because of that). Yes I did find all of this through the use of boredom and blue links, but it's shameful that I was able to when the artical writer was not.Brad Shepard said:That was my bad, sorry, and may i also note that War when he fights the end boss, the boss says "Will you serve in Heaven or rule in Hell?" and he says "I will chose what a coward did not"tmujir955 said:It's mentioned at the bottom:Brad Shepard said:I would everyone to note, that Darksiders, a game where you kill Angels, Dark Angels, and you beat the crud out of The Archangel Uriel for that matter, and in sence, the angels are kinda the bad guys, is not on this list of games.XinfiniteX said:What a laugh! The 'think of the children' patrol is back at it again. The LHLA (Living His Life Abundantly) have compiled a list of their top 8 games featuring satanic themes. My two favorites would have to be Guitar Hero and Assassin's Creed! Do these titles really bother anyone or is this attitude these type of games the real problem? I mean, if you don't like it, no one is making you play it.
Here's the link to their article on their website. I see the comments field has been blanked out. So much for sharing your thoughts. Also the article is listed under "breaking news" haha

You've been officially warned!
Stupid Blog that give religion a bad name. said:Other games with Satanic themes are Darksiders, Koudelka, Trapt, and Bayonetta.
So he chose to serve in HEAVEN, people dont read past the clift notes do they?
Listen, Christians out there: Yes there is evil in this world (you can easily tell that by talking to a serial killer) but if you've got to know when to just stop. I know you're taught that the devil is trying to tempt you in every single way, and I know that video games now contain things that go against your beliefs, but seriously, get over yourselves. You just embrass yourselves if you do things like this. Why? I believe there are some quotes from that bible that you quote convient passages from everytime you need back up (Say, something along the lines of the person without sin being the first to condemn a sinner). If you truely believe something is a temptation, it's your job to not give in, not to point at others and complain about them. If you intend to claim to have the high ground, make sure that you do first.
