Ships A prayer for the Vulture!

Using a game forum to rail on people who believe in God is idiotic, as the only purpose it serves is dividing the people who, for the most part, have come together to share in something they enjoy. So in he end, you hurt all of us, because you literally destroy the that which brings us together, the game experience itself, and not others beliefs, that for some reason you detest.

he isn't railing on people who believe in any god, he is presenting facts.

you seem to have a problem with facts, and also seem unable to recognize irony. just saying.

Before you get into a 200 page religion discussion, please watch Full Metal Jacket and know your references It's actually the modified riflemen's creed, I've first seen it recited in that movie.

it's the real thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rifleman's_Creed

Spoiler

by the way, isn't that what a lunatic gomer pyle recites shortly before shooting the sergeant and himself? how appropriate!

Yep, this post got Biblical quickly.

You know what Commander, I am happy you are enjoying the game enough to be inspired to write a poem about your ship. More power to ya, and good luck out there, misquote or not, it is still nice to see people that passionate about playing. Dedicated players, fans and supports are what keep games like this alive.

Fly safe, everyone of course, whether your respective god is or is not on your side, in game or otherwise.

Facts? No.

I was a Christian, then a atheist, now I'm an agnostic. In over a 30 year military career, I've witnessed people of God (lose term) and the non-believer's do unspeakable acts of barbarism to others, but I've also seen people of faith give their own lives to save others (many times), and inspire greatness in those around them.

I will comment no more in this thread, but I do ask that posters please consider others feelings when commenting on matters that people may hold closely to their hearts.

Thank you for your service.


Wow this is still going on? Time for me to heal the rift.

Here's what I saw. A Christian attacking the OP as blasphemous. Which kind of sets me off because I've known too many Christians who are very passionate about all non Christians being wrong yet have never read the book themselves. So I posted those two links which point out, in scripture mind you, how God is not a very nice person. Let's put it this way,You most definitely wouldn't want to elect God as President(or Prime Minister if you prefer).

Which campaign slogan do you see more likely to be used by God:

A. Let's find a sensible solution to make peace with our enemies.

B. I have prepared a lake of fire for these heathens, believeth in me and their husbands, wives, sons and daughers and unbaptized babies shall burn tonight!

Yes, it was a bit in snark. I'm a snarky person.

Also, this is a forum for a video game where players sometimes compete against each other.

But I'm around Christians a lot. I have much respect for the good they do and much less criticism for any grief they cause. And it saddens me that I might have driven a wedge between us for even though I'm not a believer I think of you all as brothers.

And with that, I apologize. Until the next time I mouth off at least.

Go in peace my friend.

Also, a little drunk. But still sincere.
