We have a Christian guild in our alliance. While several members were apprehensive about the entire atmosphere becoming religiously tense during the time where they joined us, they've turned out to be one of our greatest allies and best friends. I believe they still maintain their bible readings on their private forum, but never take bible touting onto alliance channel. All we see are the fruits of their faith; gentleness (been insulted but never retaliated), humility (they're the best in GvG of the bunch, and have never boasted), helpfulness (helping and never asking to be helped in return) and loads of patience.

If all Christian guilds were like them, I'd surely hope to bump into more.

I'm also agnostic, but I don't mind a religious guild. A "guild" by definition, is a group of people with common interests banding together. So long as they don't degrade others or promote things which could be considered morallly wrong, I don't care.

I used to be offended by that guild Terrorists Win, until I learned that the name was a Counterstrike reference. Now I don't mind it at all.

If they want a Christian Guild just let them they aren't a problem

Not A Fifty Five · Nov 23, 2006, 03:38 AM // 03:38

*shrug* i dont think its a problem but at the same time I think its pretty silly. And as for the link to the guild of the week, that guild has non christians in it, its just led by a minister. I also find it funny, a full christian group going "Hey lets go kill each other yeah! oh hey anyone wanna go to the pagan godlands to go shard hunting?"

But you must admit, its better than the german SS asshole guild.

I've always thought that a Christian guild in a game where all the characters are polytheistic was kinda ironic. Kinda forgot the First Commandment there.

What games ARE Christian? ...actually i have played a game called "THE BIBLE GAME".... for xbox ....it was lame. Doesnt leave many choices for us Christians to play. I love fantasy and science fiction.... and GW is my favorite game... and Im a Christian... Its not againts my beliefs to read a non Christian novel.... cmon... i think we are being a little silly...or confused at what Christianity ...true Christianity is....

SpitfireIXA · Nov 27, 2006, 07:23 PM // 19:23

Christians are not against fun, people. We play games just the same as you! Of course, not games that are totally demonic/sexual in content...just the same as moral-conscious non-Christians. (Of course those are rare, esp nowadays.)

In fact I am atm playing Stronghold Legends on my computer. It has werewolves, humans, dwarves, ect. in it, but it offers those up merely as a fantasy, not an advertisement such as Harry Potter's view of sorcery.

AncientLord · Nov 27, 2006, 07:37 PM // 19:37

From my personal point of wiev such guild does not belong into the gw. On another site of my i dont wanna see something like that or hear from it ingame, this is a gw not a church.

Its human illusion based on stories, "maybe" vatikan will reveal its real story... until then church as church is for me money maker.

If some one feels insulted by my words, dont be... its only my opinion.

It hurts to see such a harsh view of christians and christianity, thats why I never bring up christian anything. As soon as you do someone wants to make a joke or complain, it just doesnt make sense to me.

But hey, if you worship satan are an atheist or generally just a moron, you're more than welcome to make a guild and enjoy the game.

hmmm..... What about the Sixth Commandment, this game is all about killing people.

Woop Shotty · Nov 27, 2006, 09:10 PM // 21:10

Yup, when I see people discussing controversial subjects in the game, I recommend that they take it outside of the game. This game is not the place for that sort of thing. It's not that people shouldn't have fun and discusss things, it's that GW is a place to play the game GW, and that it's not a place to try to convince people things like religious matter.

Cloudpiercer, you probably should be careful about calling people morons, based on beliefs or not.
