I don't have a problem with freedom of religion but I do have a problem when it is brought into my game and subliminally forced down my throat. This game needs to be kept secular so that we are able to wind down after our days toil and relax , without fanatics bringing their hang ups into our domain. I will petition a complaint to CCP before we see a million containers anchored in our free space, advertizing "Daves plumbing supplies" and the like. The last thing I want is an approach to each system looking like the yellow pages.
anchor a container next to it that advertises a flying spaghetti monster |

Thanks to the wonders of the internet I can spread the word of God to all his lost children, including within this game. While you may feel uncomfortable with our messages of salvation there are many in game who are willing to listen to the words of our lord. But we cannot help the lost without setting up a beacon of light to help guide them back onto the path of salvation. I hope you will understand and good blessing to those who do.
God Bless you. |

Oh no words! They're harming me! You asked me once, what was in Room 101. I told you that you knew the answer already. Everyone knows it. The thing that is in Room 101 is the worst thing in the world. |

A young acolyte once approached a Buddhist priest sitting amongst shady trees and asked "Does God exist?" The priest smiled kindly at the young man and replied "Does it matter?". Trust me, I almost know what I'm doing. |

and IIRC nowhere in either testament does it say "go forth and shove this down unbelievers throats", unless you're from Amarr in which case it's not your beliefs you're sticking down an unwilling participants throat
Good sir, faith is not an item that can be forced upon somebody, they must be able to find it on their own free will that God gave them. But they do not have to wander the forest alone, and our message of love has helped guide many to salvation.
If you feel threatened by our belief in faith and life immortal then I am truly sorry for the pain that has been brought upon you. Ours is a message of love and peace and its intent is not to make others around us angry, but to teach us all, Christians and non Christians alike, to open our hearts to warmth and peace eternal. Perhaps you should look deep down inside and ask yourself why you perceive such a message of hate instead of love.
God Bless you. |

Personally I have no problem with others faith, in fact I admire the strength required to believe in an entity whose existence can not be proved one way or the other. What I do object to is those who not only believe but think that it's their god given right to preach their belief on my doorstep and in my entertainment. I am an Agnostic not an Atheist (not as fine a line as you may think), if there is a deity or deities humanity is in no way qualified to claim that they know them intimately, especially while we're still busy killing each other in the name of various deities.
Religion should be a personal thing and not spouted at random to prove how pious you are as a person or an organisation, some religions are more guilty of this than others, some are just in it for the money.

So you can not be anti can because it's an Christian can. That part is clear. However, is the can a "form of solicitation"? Dunno... I'll let the internet lawyers battle this one out. Some screen-shoots of said cans might me helpful (if allowed).
Perhaps it means 'anti-religious, in the sense of being anit a particular religion, Cahtolic, Muslem etc rather than simply meaning anti-religious in the overall sense of the word.
I think all religions which are based on a belief in some meta-physical being are equally silly. You want fries with that? |

I am always surprised how easily offended some non-believers claim to get when they see something proclaiming a truth they don't believe in. And how fast some will work to proclaim to everyone in earshot how much they don't believe, how offended they are, and how much they don't care.
You don't believe in God, or Jesus. That is cool bro. But if you think seeing a container in space saying something about Christianity is being 'shoved down your throat' offensive. Then brother, i would HATE to go on a drive anywhere with you. Every time you pass a church, do you seize up or something?
If someone truly believes, you don't think they bring that aspect of themselves into everything they do? Its part of who they are in game and out. Just do like in RL and don't see it, ignore it and move on. |

Please keep in mind that our ministers preach within the church, not on doorsteps . A little church humor for you my friend. But in all honesty, we simply ask if you would like to hear the word of God, we do not just immediately jump into the preaching. If you say no thank you, I am not interested we move on (may vary from group to group). If you are interested, then we sit down and explain what life with faith means. We do have the right to voice our beliefs as were given to us by the people, not God, just as you have the right to tell us to get off your lawn. Please bear in mind that we do not keep track of houses that have previously said no; forgive us for our horrible secretarial duties, but we do try to rotate neighborhood as to not to bore you with our presence the following week. Also please bear in mind that we are not at all about showing how pious we are; as they say man was created equal after all. We are simply a message about faith and belief. I am sorry that at some point some external force has soured your views, and I pray that some day you will find your own light once again and learn to love the man next to you for who he is. Be well and God Bless you. |

In my opinion religion in general is a mental disorder. When someone is seen talking to someone that isn't there and seeing things that aren't there - they are diagnosed as being schizophrenic. I think that believing in an all powerful invisible being pretty much falls within the meeaning of being schizophrenic. |

now the curious part would be how people who believe in such things happen to end up in EVE and on top of that in amarr space.
that would not be exactly the place i'd expect them to hang out.
but then again, its religion, it ought to be a bit illogical
i am not saying religious people should not play EVE, it would just seem the ideas of both are somewhat ... incompatible considering all the violence and doing bad to others ? |

We're not Amish here . I know it sounds crazy to believe but many church goers go to the same functions as you including bars, sports, movies, or concerts. They may be sitting next to you on the train or in the workplace. They may be your neighbor. Being in a religion does not mean a life in the 17th century . You are not required to give anything up and in fact you simply gain more. Bless you for that laugh.
p.s. Its funny but a bad google search can take you from religion to this game. |

But really, unless a person is making it personal (trying to force someone out of the game as an example), the violence is all digital (and it is possible to avoid). |

Religious people love nothing more than to meddle in other peoples lives. They want to control womens wombs, they want to make women wear specific clothing, they want to tell you who you can and cannot marry, they want to tell you that science is a false, they wish to instill fear into people by making them think they are going to go to some make believe place filled with fire and brimstone if they do not worship the supreme invisible man in the sky, they are all about controlling people...and having power over the masses.
There are many terms in the world of psychiatry that fit people who share the mental illness known as religion. |
