I think ppl need to lighten up here. I am no religious fan, but any person/ppl developing stuff on the web, be it a website, forum should be praised(sorry). It is hard work and effort that goes into it, I know, because I try, I fail, I try, I fail, eventually one day I know things are going to gel together, this applies by the way to 3D modelling, mapping, rigging and such likes also.

Jmorhy, could you explain what connections you see between Unreal and the Christian religion?

 

[MrBond]

In my opinion, religion is like homosexuality: no one likes to talk about it.

 

[Cammy]

If all parties involved could be courteous and cool-headed and genuinely seek to understand each other, discussions on religion could prove highly fruitful.

If all parties involved could be courteous and cool-headed and genuinely seek to understand each other, discussions on religion could prove highly fruitful.

But that's a fantasy. Let's face it, it's impossible for people from two different religious backgrounds to discuss their own beliefs without both parties feeling that their own belief system is under attack.

My attitude is generally to respect others' beliefs and let them get on with it. This is why I don't talk about religion much. I avoid saying anything that could be considered as a direct or implied criticism of someone's religion because, like I say, I respect others' beliefs and don't want to appear otherwise. In the context of Unreal, this is why I objected to the Kalladrad Halls puzzles in EZkeel's "Legacy" map pack; as the player you were forced to take the Christian route to complete the game.

I've tended to take an agnostic / atheist stance in the past. I've had a few Christians try to "convert" me in the past and it's really angered me. They probably thought they were trying to help me or save my soul. However, what they didn't realise is that atheism is itself a belief system - essentially, the belief in oneself and one's own ability to navigate the moral tapestry of the world. To me, having a Christian (or an individual from any other religious background) attempt to convert me is no different from me trying to tell them why they shouldn't believe in God. I, personally, wouldn't dream of doing such a thing. IMO, "treat as you would be treated" is the single most important rule by which I live my life, and I'm happy with that.

Well said, I couldn't have put it clearer myself.
Here's something for everyone to get their teeth into.

'We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are'

You do have real-life examples of people from different religious backgrounds coming together for friendly discussion. Books documenting such discussions have even been published. So, I don't think it's entirely a fantasy.

Discussions of this kind need not involve anyone trying to convert anyone else, just people sharing their beliefs and making a serious attempt to understand each other.

And, ummmm... Perhaps we should talk a bit more about Unreal instead, given what the present message board is meant for...

Agreed. It seems as if religion and gaming don't mix, either.

Yep, nip this one in the bud, let's get back to Unreal

 

[NeoNite]

Talking about religion leads to nowhere (going in circles and circles), or to headaches, or to stubborn people who won't let go of their views etc.. etc.. and etc.

Talking about Unreal would be sooo much preffered.

 

[Hellscrag]

In that case, look to whoever bumped this thread and kick their arse!

 

[jmorhy]

Jmorhy, could you explain what connections you see between Unreal and the Christian religion?

Well the best way i could explain it is like our friend KICK<KOR> SAID IT:

Kick <Kor>: "Unreal Believers is a fellowship of believers in Jesus Christ who found each other by playing the game unreal. Common belief, common game for common people with the desire to unite with one another and share our lives together."

 

[Predcaliber]

normally you should go to the church to meet other believers, but you got a point there

 

[GAMESOULjA]

but how would u know if those people u met while playing unreal are really believers and not some fakes with a lot of time on they hands?

this sounds like a begginin of some new cult...unreal/jesus cult

:scared:

 

[NeoNite]

So, I wonder who was the first one to use that skeleton sig...
