Hold on, some Christians sign up to a game, post some cans which are against the rules of the people who run the game they signed up to, then, actually not only cease doing it when being told the rules but wish to go on breaking those rules set down by the creators of the game and for everyone to ignore it.

But the people who are saying "stop breaking the rules" are the disrespectful ones? What?

I hate to interrupt your religious debate, but some of you seem to forget something: the right to believe doesn't mean the right to preach. Believe what you will, and keep it to yourselves and other members of your religious group. Your freedom is belief is granted; but nobody ever granted you any explicit right to proselyze. If someone tells you to stick that Jesus up yours, they are NOT taking away your freedom of belief in any way.

Actually, there are countries in the world where you'd end up in jail for trying to spread a religious message without prior consent.

Just sayin'.

If the cans bug you that much do a petition.

Do you think whining on the forum is going to stop people posting their beliefs? Do you honestly think you can expunge religion? Even if you managed to destroy every holy book of every religion that ever existed, another one will crop up.

This is literally so overboard it's like...I don't even...

"I'm going to bring this bacon sandwich into the moqsue"
"No we don't allow that sorry"
"Well I don't care, I'm bringing it in anyway, I have freedom to eat what I want and don't think you can wipe pigs off the face of the earth".

Which side is disrespecting who?

My point was, do you think if CCP officially came out and said "No Religion remarks on cans" people would actually follow that rule?

Why is it so hard to just follow the rules?

Again, what's so hard about following the rules? Because, yes, that pretty much is the rule, and for some odd reason, a certain segment of players have a very hard time following itGǪ

Because in a sandbox game people are bound to break the rules, whether intentional or not. And another equally sized segment gets offended.

That doesn't answer the question.

Why is it so hard for this particular segment of players to follow a very simple rule?

Don't play coy, from your previous posts I can surmise that you would "imagine a world with out religion"

My point was, do you think if CCP officially came out and said "No Religion remarks on cans" people would actually follow that rule? Or CCP would really enforce such a rule? Its kind of a huge waste of time, and a money sink to troll for a few cans that have a message on them.

Dunno, I'm not CCP. They cared enough to kick that racist off the CSM ballot so obviously they are not totally laissez faire.

Shut the **** up OP - and biomass.

Thanks.

Because they choose not to follow the "simple" rule.

If its such a"simple" it should not cause such a commotion.

Report them for breaking the naming policy and/or (depending on the message) the rules forbidding solicitation.
There's no such freedom or right in EVE.

We nay not have the right but we do have the freedom. That fact we can add messages to cans proves this.

The fact that you're not allowed to put whatever you want into those messages proves that you don't.

We do. The fact that no one is stopping us means we still have that freedom for now...

So basically, you're saying that just a bunch of unrepentant griefers GÇö they could easily follow the rules, but they're a bunch of [lower backs] and don't because they don't feel like it. Would you say that there is any way to stop them short of simply banning them completely?

Non sequitur.
The rule is ridiculously simple: don't bring religion into the game. What's causing the commotion has nothing to do with the simplicity of that rule, but with the apparent chronic inability of some people to follow it, and having no excuse for what they do. The rule does not cause any commotion at all; obnoxious behaviour does.

Is it REALLY that obnoxious or all people making mountains out of molehills?

GǪexcept that they are stopping us. So yeah, no.

Is it REALLY that obnoxious or all people making mountains out of molehills? Religion in the game does not bother me one bit.

Just like when individuals do things that are against naming conventions that are some what offense to others doesn't bother me.

There is only a small percentage of people that get offended at religion. Its like schools banning peanuts cause one kid has allergies, its insane.

People are STILL doing it....so how are they stopped?
