Fist of Jesus

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

Assassin’s creeds sole selling point isn't about mocking a religious figure.

Indeed, I didn't actually know about the controversy until now and I actually finished the first game. The same thing with the Golden Compass movie. I watched that movie and had no idea about any of the issues until it was mentioned and I watched the movie again. With this game however it is impossible to miss.

I did notice it but it played along brilliantly to the story line as well. Like I said it wasn't like AC was made with the sole purpose to mock Jesus. It makes sense in the AC universe, this doesn't in any universe.

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?

But there are people wrong on the internet! I get what you are saying though and I guess you are right.

On my phone at a huge choir contest at the moment, so I can't reply in too much detail, BUT:

I refrain from playing games, watching movies or listening to music that blatantly makes a mockery or openly blasphemes my religion and/or deity. I just don't make a big issue of it or debate with others as to why they should understand my point of view.

I won't play this game, or South Park games or watch South Park or similar shows, because I find it offensive. As much as I enjoy Simpsons, they often go a bit overboard as well and makes me uneasy. I didn't play the earlier AC games because of the references to Christianity.

I try to keep an open mind as much as possible and respect everyone's beliefs and opinions and I just ask the same in return. If I happen to casually state that I find it offensive and you disagree with me, I expect us to be like "meh, cool" and join up in a multiplayer game and have a blast.

This thread brings to mind the whole "someone's WRONG in the INTERNET" comic. I'm sure Eugene will oblige with a link to it soon enough.

Damn guys, why all the arguing?

I myself am a Christian (Not something I like to make public fact because it is true, it's not easy being a Christian online) and have engaged in several debates over in the Metaphysical section on SAgamer, but let's not turn this thread into something similar.

People in this day and age get offended far to easily. Period. Does that mean that they don't have the right to still get offended? No. Whether or not you believe someone is getting his/her panties in a knot over something stupid is purely subjective and cannot be dismissed because you believe it to be stupid. Simple.

I understand where Solitude is coming from where people still have the right to get offended if they believe something to seriously be offensive.

I also understand where Graal is coming from though, people to get offended far to easily but don't take it so far dude, you end up coming across as really thick when you simply refuse to understand where the others ide comes from.

I, personally don't take offense to this game, but that's just me.

I did take offense to Assassin's Creed though! That 3rd installment was HORRIBLE !!! Oh man, I used to be such a huge fan up until AC3 (Even Revelations was pretty good), but after Black Flag I am a fan of the series again .
