Look, if we are going to debate the merits of homosexuality in video games, can we try to do it without insulting anyone's religous beliefs?

Leviticus wasn't written for Christians, it was written for a certain group of Jews in a certain time and place. Just because something is in the bible doesn't mean God endorses it. Context matters. Just sayin'.

It's interesting that ‘adult homosexual content’ is somehow a better reason for you to boycott it than the rampant, wanton slaughter.

If you take a game that seriously (and I'm not saying you shouldn't), should that not be of immensely higher moral priority?

Weird values are weird.


Homosexuality is condemned in the Bible. Slaughtering mindless darkspawns (the devil) isn't.




Actually I don't think it's mentioned in the bible. Once.

You clearly havent read it then. As it is mentioned that having "relations" with another person of the same sex is an offense. Oh well, this thread has gone to the dogs Iam out.



Wanna quote that for me?

That is of coure in the Old Testament, and I believe, according to most "Christians" no longer a valid book, at least according to canon. I don't keep up really, religions are just more lines to divide us from the singular nature of humanity.

Peace, I'm out of this troll thread.

i just want to mention, the bible also tells the story in the town of gomorrah that angels came down for a visit and were raped by men. which is the root of homosexuality being evil. not rape. homosexuality.

whens the last time you heard angels coming down to your city?

The Bible is fiction and so are darkspawn.

It actually is, though whether that is a mistranslation done by the Church in its war on homosexuality is a whole nother arguement.

That being said, the same book of the Bible that condemns homosexuality also condemns: cutting your hair, wearing mixed fabrics, and eating shellfish. Among a number of other things. 

Also, said book is part of the Old Testament, the teachings of which were rendering invalid by Jesus coming down and laying down the new law, the New Testament. All teaching of the Old Testament were proclaimed invalid when this happened.

(If you believe in it all, which I personally don't.)

Okay, just a little cry for "reason." Don't attack religious belief if you're asking for tolerance.

I'm gay, and I believe in God. A little education about the Bible goes a LONG way folks.

If you expect tolerance - you should also put out tolerance.

But when read with Leviticus 19:34, the message changes from, "gay is bad mmkay" to, "I don't like the idea of sleeping with another man, but I'm totally fine if you do it".

Leviticus 19:34 wrote...

You shall treat the stranger who sojourns with you as the native among
you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the
land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.

and according to logic the bible is wrong, so I think one supersedes the other in relevance.

There is no god and the Bible is a terrible work of fiction that weak minded fools use as a crutch :)


Even if there was a god, anything that could condemn that is clearly not good and must be stopped.

Err, not to derail the PC/PI thread or anything, but I'm pretty sure being Atheist has absolutely nothing at all to do with the law of man.  Unless of course you're just saying you're a scoundrel in general. :wizard:

I quote my very Catholic cousins (and my Theology professor): Those who use the Christianity, or any religion, to promote hatred of others, have totally misunderstood the message.

People should be allowed to state their beliefs without being ridiculed. This principle swings both ways. I believe homosexuality is morally wrong. I won't oppress anyone or take actions to harm anyone who practices it, and I won't speak ill of those who choose to do so. Should I be hated just because I believe something different?


Your entitled to your own opinion yes, but to say that since I fall in love with a women is morely wrong is kind of insulting to me.  I get this a lot actually, people who say it's not you...it's what you are doing that I don't like.  I deal with enough crap with my studies, my alopecia, my family and then to have people say that my love is morally wrong.  Makes me feel like ****.

I think Paul had something to say about them. Paul had lots of things to say about women. Quite a character.

Not mentioned directly in my knowledge.  But I'm no Biblical scholar.

It's also abominable to eat shellfish according to Leviticus... e.g. shrimp.

Making you a dangerous person when you think of it.

Yeah, because the rules dictated by the Bible are the only reason why people don't go around murdering, raping and stealing all the time, right? I mean, without the Bible, all of society would break down!

Grow up. Morality is a societal construct, yes, but it's nothing to do with religion. All religion does is take common sense and wrap it up in outmoded rites and dogma.

I wouldn't have a problem if the game allowed you to be gay, but made it clear that it was a bad choice. The player could turn to homosexuality, but could potentially lose health, XP, and his companions by going down this destructive path. This would be a more realistic and educational approach.
