This is in contrast to the other posters, every second one of which has so far called me a troll or insulted my intelligence. I think I've shown nothing more than restraint here.Quote:

Suddenly Jesus punching zombies doesn't seem that bad, does it? Offense is subjective. You're welcome to take offense at whatever you want, just don't demand that everyone respect your right to take offense. That's the point I'm trying to make here.
I think I'm the only person that called you a troll and insulted your intelligence. I may be wrong though. I don't want to read through the thread again.Quote:

So basically yes, it may be offensive to Christians but that's just how they feel so it's not really offensive at all! :DQuote:

So there's another game that is also really bad towards Christianity and yet no one complains about it! So if people didn't find the other game offensive then it means that they can't find First of Jesus offensive either.
And.... wait, stop right there.

People did find Assassin's Creed offensive. Does that mean that they can take this game as offensive too? At least it looks like that's how you are trying to see all of this.
Here's why I call you intolerant: Being tolerant is to respect other's people's views, beliefs, or behaviour that differ from one's own. But you specifically say:

It's more fun around here when I don't have to moderate things.

I hope I'm keeping things civil enough. :) I'm sticking to logic and definitions. If not then I'll stop posting in this thread.
Ouens, this is turning into a dogshow. How about we use those ignore lists and keep out of each other's way?
