And people refer to Christians as "sheep".

Everybody's a sheep they all just try not to be.

Most people have no problem with Christians. I know I don't, my beef is with evangelicals. I cant even count the times I've been told I'm going to hell. So don't talk about how people are always saying shit about Christians because its simply not true. Religious extremists are the ones that say shit about everyone else.
So chill out dude.

"Dance Praise is like the Secular game "Dance Dance Revolution" only with wholesome Christian songs and no Communist overtones."

I laughed, so hard at that.

But really I have no problem with cristians.... except when they try to make games, than I hate them.

I'd like to see those safety guides... can you give me a link?

That's not one of them, that's from the site in this thread. I'll do some searching for you and paste the link here:

Oh no! Ice cream is a sin! Be damned Ben & Jerry! Be damned!


T-Rexs were herbivores? Really? Jee, I didn't know those steak knives in their mouths were for eating veggies.

You only have that problem because you need Jesus.

I find it hilarious how self proclaimed intellectuals take a satirical site seriously.

i just had to quote it.

and also, there isnt a section on tat site about anime or tv shows in general or something?

 

[Jamash]

The funniest part of the entire debacle for me is the F.A.Q. [http://www.objectiveministries.org/zounds/faq.html] page, where Pastor Skeet talks about his "Just-for-Men" moustache & his nickname.

Dawg... wuzzup with your 'stache?

There's been some talkin' 'bout my mustache. Some of you think it's a wack dye job, but that's straight up not true. Let me give you the 411 about my 'stache... Back in 1995, when I turned away from my former lifestyle and let Christ into my heart, His transforming power was so totally awesome that my hair turned grey -- almost overnight, no jawsin' -- but my mustache miraculously stayed black! I knew this had to be a sign from God... but what was He tryin' to tell me? After a lot of thinkin' and prayin' I worked it out: ya see, the grey hair represents the wisdom that God has given me with all that I have lived through, and the black hair represents my connection with youth. Since the youthful hair is over my mouth, that means He wants me to speak to the youths! It was then that I knew that God's plan for me was to found a youth ministry, to help guide kids away from the mistakes that I made when I was their age. And that's how Zounds was born!

Howdja get the nickity-nack "Skeet"?

Back in the day, I used to refer to my mustache as "my mosquito," because it was so "fly" (that's how we used to talk back then.) So my "homies" (that's what we used to call our dawgs,) started calling me "Mosquito," which soon became "Skeeter" and ended up being just "Skeet."

He's so cool, I wish I was superfly enough to be able to rap with the youth like he can.

The great thing about this site is, that like all truly good parodies (e.g. Spinal Tap), it there is still some doubt to whether it is real or a parody.

My common sense tells me it is a parody, but there's also a part of me that knows there are people with this mindset & I'm not naive enough to 100% believe that they wouldn't make a website like this.

P.S. Shouldn't this thread be moved to Off Topic, since it will be less discussing the gaming aspect of the site & more just laughing at & pointing out your funniest parts of the site?

 

[MSORPG pl4y3r]

is that site a joke?! A parody?! I F#&kin hope so! This is part of the reason I renounst christanity (their obsesed!!!) but insted of going on about them I'll go on about what the site said (because I dont insult ppl for being part of a group).

first of who is so sensitive and so aware of their faith so mutch that the mention of a name to do with it makes them pay more attention, cause I never even noticed the link to chritianity and boishock.

and as bad reviewing goes the reveiwer only played one game and based the other reviews on word of mouth wich is.....

I cant even think of a rational argument that just pissed me off so mutch!!!!! I'll be back to bad mouth that.....person later right now I need to calm down.

 

[guyy]

...Wow, these guys find imaginary references to homosexuality in EVERYTHING (Zelda, Final Fantasy, Halo, etc.). And they hate it, of course.

My favorite bit is this, though:

"Guitar Praise will have a guitar controller just like GH's and the same gameplay, only it will include only top Christian rock bands (...) that reflect Christian values instead of those of Satan."

I mean, I hate Guitar Hero. But this is just stupid. "Instead of those of Satan"?!

Given that in the Spore review they talk about how the Mark of the Beast will probably be a DRM scheme, I'm thinking this must be a parody site. You never know, though. People do exist who think everything not about God is Satanic.

 

[Caliostro]

Christian rock bands [...]

"Christian" and "rock" usually only fit together in the same sentence if there's also a "thrown at" or similar somewhere in there.


You know what the sad part is? I HAVE seen people legitimately be THAT stupid... To the point that I wouldn't be very surprised if that website was actually real... But it does seem like a parody.

 

[peterwolfe]

lol...bully is evil for having the option of being gay, but in mgs4 you freakin murder people and thats awwwlllright.

"every game in the MGS series is a remake of the first, only with a different Snake clone, the theory being that by putting the clones through the same missions, they will develop into the same person"


...
huh? did i miss this part of the games?

 

[BARKARR]

I myself am Catholic and it's actually quite jarring how ignorant my religion can be. But there are those who are intellegent and NOT like those on the site linked above. Really, all I'm saying is that were not all a bunch of hopeless morons.

 

[Mistah Kurtz]

Noteable quotes:
MGS4:

This game promotes drug use (Snake is addicted to cigarettes and the HDD installation process features an 8-minute video of Snake teaching players how to smoke), eugenics through human cloning (Snake was the product of a project to clone "super soldiers"), disrespect of Authority (Snake's main enemy in the game are the Patriots, who represent the Christian founders of our nation), and Materialistic Determinacy with an absence of Free Will (every game in the MGS series is a remake of the first, only with a different Snake clone, the theory being that by putting the clones through the same missions, they will develop into the same person).

Teaching players how to smoke. Hm.
I have to paste this entire review...also note at at the beginning of almost every review, he states he has not played the game since it's not allowed on his campus...

Grand Theft Auto IV (Rockstar, Xbox 360 & PS3)
Atheist Nick runs from God's Authority
5.6.2008: (Note: I have not played this game since it is rated "M" and isn't allowed on the Fellowship U campus, so I am basing this mini-review on Secular media reports.) Grand Theft Auto IV is a game designed to brain-wash players into the Atheist worldview. In it you play Nick, an immigrant recently arrived to Liberty City (a copy of New York City) who is tasked with stealing cars and murdering prostitutes. Nick came from a former Communist country where he was brought up in Godlessness and so he sees no problem stealing and murdering. The game touts its ability to let you "go anywhere and do anything you want", the central philosophy of Atheism. It also teaches how to escape from police, instilling in the player the main motivation behind Atheism: avoidance of authority. The underlying game engine is called "RAGE", which is apt since the game is fueled by anger at God. It also uses something called "Euphoria" which treats humans as "rag dolls" who act only in accordance to physics, which is what Atheistic Materialism teaches. The game series (as the title notes, this is the fourth game) has already resulted in murders in real life. This game has no redeemable qualities. Needless to say, all Christians should avoid this game and pray for the people who made it and their victims (murder victims and gamers of all ages who have played it and have been spiritually scarred). ZERO CROSSES

Hm.

BioShock (Take-Two, Xbox 360 & Windows)
'Bioshock' murder
8.24.2007: (Note: I have not played this game since it is rated "M" and isn't allowed on the Fellowship U campus, so I am basing this mini-review on Secular media reports.) BioShock is a first-person shooter set in Rapture, an underwater city created upon the Atheist philosophies of Ayn Rand and Charles Darwin. In a Darwinian struggle to survive, players must kill small children in order to harvest their "Adam" (a.k.a. "stem cells"), which players use to obtain "plasmids" that cause them to macro-evolve superhuman abilities. The children themselves also kill other people to harvest their Adam, which is the sort of behavior Godless Darwinism teaches young people (I don't think its a coincidence that these children are aided in their killing by large diving-suited beings called "Big Daddies").

Bully (Rockstar, PS2)
'Bully' Homosexuality
10.22.2006: Bully is a very, very bad game. It promotes school violence, vandalism, disrespect for authority, and comic mischief. This was all expected when Rockstar announced their "Columbine simulator", but there's one surprise in the game no one saw coming: It teaches young boys to become homosexuals. Your character, Jimmy Hopkins, can "make out" with six other boys in the game and is rewarded with a health bonus (subtly teaching that homosexual sex is healthy). This content is hidden, not mentioned anywhere on the packaging or content rating. The game causes players to discover it by accident, then entices them to do it again and again, much like how actual homosexuality spreads. I had to try every boy in town just to find the ones that would kiss me. It was gross! After one of the boys asked me if I wanted to play "shirts and skins", I quickly turned off the Playstation because I didn't want to see what that was (Pastor Skeet later told me it's homosexual slang).

I have a feeling this is brilliant satire rather than serious Christians.

 

[peterwolfe]

well, i sincerely hope those above are right, and that this is satire (satan ire).

 

[Mistah Kurtz]

lol...bully is evil for having the option of being gay, but in mgs4 you freakin murder people and thats awwwlllright.

Homosexuality is unquestionably a sin in the Christian faith, although many times violence is sanctioned in the bible by God. Jesus himself instructed his disciples to carry swords, and if they didn't own one, to sell their belongings and buy one. There's nothing hypocritical about it, it's just following what the bible teaches.

I know, that's what I'm laughing at, murder being ranked above homosexuality. I'm friends with homo and bisexuals, but I'd like to think they're above indiscriminate killing.

Homosexuality doesn't 'outrank' killing, no sin is 'worse' than any other. It's just that homosexuality is grosser so people pay more attention to that sin in particular.


Also, looks like you all (and myself for a few minutes) were tricked - I just noticed a post about landoverbaptist church on their homepage. (Landover baptist was a similiar christian parody site)

It's just a joke. Also, isn't it aggravating when you make fun of someone for being stupid and then you realize you were too dumb to figure out that it was a joke?

I wouldn't know...if anything, I'm just laughing along with it and it's satirical portrayal...also, I just looked over the first page of this thread, where they said it was a satire, before posting.

 

[Nazulu]

This has definitely got to be one of those parody sites but I wouldn't be surprised if there were people out there who take that seriously. And I wish they would just drop the whole homosexuality is evil thing, atleast they don't find being left handed a big deal anymore!
