There's a whole Wikipedia page devoted to the Uganda example.  Whoever designed the bill certainly didn't represent the great majority of Christians.  Notice: "Uganda's Catholic Archbishop of Kampala Cyprian Lwanga stated in December 2009 that the bill was unnecessary and 'at odds with the core values" of Christianity.' "  There are other examples.  So, Baronesa, when you attack Christians for killing others in the name of Jesus, are you making a false generality about all Christians?  I know that in the Middle East outstanding rules toward Christians definitely exist.  By the way, why are both of your examples regarding Africa?  Those are very curious examples...  Also, did you know that Rwanda and Uganda don't have an official religion?

And when UN proposed a resolution to call fo decriminilization of homosexuality, Vatican said "nope". In the name of religion. For Catholic Church that unfortunately represents over half of Christians, religion is more important then lives of people who did nothing wrong to anyone.

The good news is that church hierarchy ain't representative of majority of believers.

So are we getting specific about who's a Christian and who isn't?  Many Catholics I know say they aren't Christian and say that they follow the Pope, not the Bible.

Also, have Catholics been going out and killing anyone lately, like homosexuals?  I trow not.

The difference is that Roger Waters recognizes what the issue is. It's the people behind the religion commiting these acts, not the religion itself. I don't care who or what you worship, but you should NOT be dictating what people say or do.

What God Wants, God gets

God help us all.

Roger Waters, as in the Pink Floyd musician?  Yes, he's a very credible authority to cite.

The differnce is that what Waters is talking about covers all concepts.

God wants peace

God wants war

God wants famine

God wants chain stores

The song encompasses all forms of Religion that oppress people.

That's the point.

No, because most are 10 times more intelligent then church hierarchy

Non-ironic use of the term "pagan" in the 21st Century is pretty lol.

Oh, I'm being a touch ironic when using the term.  Start expressing hatred towards Christians randomly on a video game website, and I'll go there.

If by "intelligent" you mean moral, then that's a very, very good thing.

Wait - I'm confused. Homosexuals have been killing people?

This thread has reached a 9/10 on the degeneracy scale. Now all that's missing is a giant, religion-triggered, off topic flame war.

Maybe we should just kill it?

Oh, okay.  Let's all bow our heads and pray to Roger Waters, now.  Or shall we put on a Pink Floyd CD and spark some wood, instead?  Let's do that, and I'll raise you "To everything there is a season."

Agree. Should we burn it at stake or send a knights order to deal with it?

Kill it with fire, I thinks.

Suit yourself, but maybe we shoudl just have a moderator slap a giant titanium padlock on this. Otherwise, we have to wait until the whole place is on fire and everyone is burning to death.

I'd prefer lives to be spared. Unless you think it funny to watch them burn

I think the point of the thread was that both MaleShep and FemShep should have a equal number of LI

You've been following this very civilized discussion thus far.  Stay with us!

To paraphrase Shakespeare, "A comma, a comma, my kingdom for a comma!"  Oh, well.  Sorry my writing skills aren't Shakespearean, but I'm sure you know how to read well to make up for my error in syntax and punctuation.

There's nothing wrong with that. There's something wrong with making everyone a bisexual just for the hell of it, imo.

But they did make everyone disregard morals/ethic (either good or bad) just for the hell of it.

My 2cents: Making characters exclusively heterosexual in ME is ridiculous because making sex the literal only factor is silly - at present, Tali is interested in Shepard regardless of how much of a renegade xenophobic omnicidal douche they are if and only if Shepard has a penis. That is silly. Given the limitations with relationships in the game, making characters bisexual is less silly. Making everyone interested as long as Shepard expresses interest first is simple and reasonably effective shortcut that saves the developers from putting any work at all into romances.

Secondly, the whole idea of "straight/gay/bi" implicitly depends on there being only one species. As such, it becomes meaningless as soon as you introduce other sentient species, which is what happens in ME. For example, Garrus being interested in everyone regardless of character or *species* as long as they are of the child-bearing sex is silly.

I didn't realize that we were a theocracy and that people have to obey specifically Christian laws. I also didn't realize Christians were out in force walking around telling people randomly on the street what not to say or do. I think the greatest "Christian" of all-time, Obama, would like to have a word with you.

That's the general expression we (in Europe) do get of Americans though.

My opinion is that there's no point in arguing - if you believe that some millennia old book holds all the answers, you'll obviously not listen to a logical argument.
