That's a pretty ironic approach considering how much phallic imagery gets thrown around in local or as ship or character names in this game . . . |

Athiest tears best tears?
I just am having a hard time getting over the fact that this is EVE where any kind of griefing and scamming and being as cruel as possible to other players is encouraged and all sorts of lewd language and imagery that is offensive to religious people (not to mention extremely uncomfortable for the female demographic that EVE has such a hard time attracting) is allowed to be plastered everywhere, but "Jesus loves you" on a can elicits 9 pages of "we can't handle this" on the forums.
What happened to the whole toughen up mantra?
If you see religious messages in a bio or on a can, no one is forcing you to start an argument about it. Just acknowledge the person has different beliefs than you and move on, like I do when I see offensive material in the game. Don't force other people to hide their beliefs while you flout yours.
If anything, evangelizing is a perfect fit in a game like EVE where everything goes. |

If anything, evangelizing is a perfect fit in a game like EVE where everything goes. Probably because that athiest will be the first person to come over and help you out if a tree fell on your house or need help moving in , or fixing that fence or whatever in RL. But in game they will also be the first person to scam , pod, or gank that very same neighbor. This is simply about separation of RL and a GAME. I feel really sorry for people that don't see the difference, one day they will end up in jail and not understand why they are there.
There's no such thing as total separation between the game and life. Do you want all mention of sports teams removed? Game of Thrones spoilers? Fleets spamming up local can only post eve-themed ****? Real world nationalities and flags?
What's going on is some people are trying to force their real life values on others in the game, and it's not the Christians anchoring cans. |

Deal?
Deal. I mean we do already have a group that poses as Aryan Supremacists anyhow, right? |

Honestly, the real issue that everyone is missing here is that this is a goons plot to get everyone to remove cans from their overviews so they can implement their top secret can fleet doctrine and rule all of New Eden |
