Why are Churches fair game but Synagogues & Mosques are off limits?
I'm not going to go into as much detail as I did in the locked post, not even close....to hopefully keep this one from being locked. I just want people to understand why I made this post....and that it is for a DIFFERENT reason.
I had an idea for Far Cry 6 and made a post about having a cult in Israel that took over Synagogues. The EXACT SAME idea as Far Cry 5 cults in America taking over Churches, but instead it would take place Israel and replace Churches with Synagogues. I used the term "cult" and even gave the cult a name. That post was immediately locked. So now I have a DIFFERENT question/post......why is it ok to discuss cults in America taking over Churches.....but it is not ok to discuss cults in Israel taking over Synagogues?
Your "idea" for a FC6 was hardly the same as what is going on in FC5. For one thing, you're the one who is bringing up the churches all the time. I cannot remember anyone else here who has even talked about the role of churches in the game before you came along. No one here is making heinous statements like "our goal will be to torture, gas, burn and slaughter every last one of the people inside those churches in Montana" which is EXACTLY (and I mean exactly, I copied that from your justifiably locked thread) what you said about the synagogues in your little FC6 pitch. Utterly disgusting, and the fact that you can't see the hypocrisy in all of the garbage you spew shows a complete and total lack of any semblance of self-awareness.
I think you know why. There is very real and tragic things happening in the world today and specifically in Israel and neighbouring countries. It would be disrespectful to those who have lost their lives and continue to live in fear on a daily basis for the sake of a video game.Originally Posted by Kaide_XIV Go to original post
Please take a moment to reflect on these poor poeople and the very real hardships they face.
Now look at your posts.
You are complaining about a fictional video game because you believe it misrepresents a religious faith to which you follow?
You couldn't be more wrong.
Ubisoft are, like most people, respectful of other peoples beliefs and to this end they have made a game that is as fictional and as far away from real world conflicts and sore subjects as possible.
Call upon your own faith to recognise that this is not a personal attack on you or your faith.
Perhaps these kind of mature games are not for you? I do not know your age but this game will no doubt be rated for mature audiences who will recognise it for what it is.
A fictional story with no real world meaning or agenda, this is not propaganda or anything like that, just an interactive story.
I think if you step back and look at things objectively you will realise this.
If you have legitimate concerns, you should present them in a more respectful way.
I have read your previous posts and frankly, they disturbed me.
If you decide the game is not for you, then that's all good and well, if you feel you will gain some enjoyment from the game, then by all means continue to post, but please do so in a mature and mindful way.
You could take a year off, just like I did years ago, stop gaming and bothering people, and go to a country where people live in poverty and give them real help. There are lots of Christians (Jewish, Muslim, Buddist, etc) who need real help: Go to the interior of Angola, Cape Verde, Guatemala or just take care of the poor in your community, or any other country you like, and help in schools, or gather money in your neighborhoud and help poor people through buying life stock, or a little piece of land, so they can grow crops. Or lobby (through the right media, so not here) for oppressed people of your religion in certain parts of the world.
This thing you are doing here though, is not constructive at all. It is counterconstructive, and makes no sense. Please stop it!
I also suggested these folk try to do some real-world good, it would certainly be more effective than whatever they're attempting to do here will be. Telling them to take a year off though implies that they are players of these games to begin with and I'm not buying that for a second. I think they heard about this game through the internet and like a rabid dog bit down & locked their jaws on it.Originally Posted by D.DVD Go to original post
Dude, just understand this: since we're a "hive mind" and all soooo devoted to the cause of bringing down christians just because we're talking about a video game, why not consider abandoning us here while you go preaching how Ubisoft is bad elsewhere (since here you don't seem to gather lots of reinforcements)? I'm sure these few lines of cynism may be a bit true. It would be a good thing. For both of us.Originally Posted by Kaide_XIV Go to original post
I deleted that post anyway. I didn't want this to turn into a persecution debate. I just wanted to keep it focused on why we can discuss Churches and not Synagogues and Mosques without it turning into something I don't want it to. I'm not here to prove if Christians are persecuted or not in 2017, so I deleted that post. I just want to focus on in game content. He can believe whatever he wants outside of the game.Originally Posted by angstik Go to original post
As I said a few posts back, it is because before you came to these forums, there was never talk of going into a place of worship and killing it's inhabitants in the game. YOU brought all that talk here, YOU DID.Originally Posted by Kaide_XIV Go to original post
I still fail to understand the difference between killing cult members with the methods you just mentioned inside of a Church or killing cult members inside of a Synagogue. Does Far Cry not use all of those methods to kill people? I don't see what's wrong with what I said. Please help me understand. Is there a difference between killing a cult member inside of a Church and killing a cult member inside of a Synagogue/Mosque?Originally Posted by HorTyS Go to original post
The "bad" guys at the end of the trailer....are inside of a Church worshipping.....Originally Posted by HorTyS Go to original post
