> One of my friends had this up on his AIM profile. I seriously thought it was a joke, but apparently this guy is serious. It reminds me of those horrible little comic books that get around that talk about people selling their soul to the devil for soda or something stupid like that. Anyway, if you're bored, check it out. Under the section marked children. He manages to not only offend gamers, but also all bisexual/gay/transgender in one fell swoop. It's worth a few laughs.

I haven't even read all of it and I see his problem. In the book of Matthew one of the Pharasies came up to Jesus and tried to catch him with blasphemy. He asked him what the greatest commandment was. This "pastor"'s problem is that he only read half of that passage, or at least the way he wrote the website shows it....... I was about to do a rough translation from my head, but now I'm going to go get my bible and find it.....

Matthew 22:35-39
35 Then one of them, a lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him, and saying, 36 "Teacher, which is the great commadnment in the law?" 37 Jesus said to him, "'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like it: (they're equal) 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'"

It seems to me like the "pastor" stopped with the first one and didn't carry on to the "love your neighbor as yourself" part. Me, I do not like homosexuality. I'm completely against it. I even hate it. BUT, I have nothing against homosexuals; they're equal to me. Why should I look down on someone who's just as much in sin as I am? I can't. Now, when it comes down to video games, yeah, some could be less violent. Some could contain a lot less sexual stuff in em. But, overall, they're fine. I do not believe that any video game has long-term effects on anyone. This "pastor" is just a silly man who does nothing but follow religion. Religion is man-made my friend. Follow God... he's been around a lot longer. Follow the Word of God, it was written by people inspired by God... so it was written by God.

Ok, I'm done preaching. I basically wanted to say that I dislike religion... although I go to a church, I only go to it to worship God. Besides, my church isn't really down with religion. We pretty much just go by what the Bible says. G'day!
