Christianity in Second Life. Why was the thread moved?

My thread was directly related to Second Life and the faith of those who participate. Very on topic.

Its ok to make a thread in general and talk about Prokofys ban from SL , but not Jesus Christs presense in it?

Because it stopped being a thread about SL and became (predictably) a dogmafest.

Did you even read the thread after you posted it? It turned into a 300-response dramabomb.

Ty, since the thread was moved and you probably don't have the time or desire to wade through all of the posts that have been made on it since you were last here (which is understandable) I'm going to quote my own post here for you. I do hope it helps in some way.

My Opinion:
I know your original post was SL related, but the above posters are right, it did turn into this huge dramafest which I am glad to see moved to off-topic.

I personally don't enjoy reading pages upon pages of anti-Christian talk, and it's easier to avoid when it is in off-topic.

By the same token, though, it seems that Lordfly Digeridoo's thread, entitled, "Why Does God Hate SL" or somthing, should also be moved to off-topic.

You beat me to it. Spin-off threads of moved threads should get the boot to OT as well.

It went to a better place. God works in mysterious ways.

It shouldn't have been in general anyway, becaus eit was more about religion than SL

Start a Christian sim, and ban Jewish and Islamic and Gorean characters from entering... Think of the drama! Remember, it's not discrimination if you ban people for aspects of their *character*, only if you ban them for aspects of the player.

Whoever moved must not be Christian

Sorry I am new to the forums(well unexperienced) and I didnt know how to search for it. I found it, read it, and understand why it was moved to Off Topic.

Jesus ( not Fernandez or Gutierrez) is playing/used to play SL?

I eat ham sandwiches with communion bread. jk

Oh jeeze, give us all a fucking break with your religion. Go whine about it in some other forum ok Mr. Devout One.

If they let us have usermade last names, wonder who will be 'Jesus Christ' on here? At least he'd have a map, but finding him would be a click away!

Imagine that, we'd actually have a Jesus Christ on SL and he wouldn't be lost anymore!

I am going to post to this thread, the other thread you probably won't make it through.

Ty, I've been in Second Life for almost 3 years now and there are several things I've learned about the residents I walk among. Yes, there are many who have had bad experiences with Christians or those who claim to live that faith and those who like to make fun of of Christianity and everything it represents. Some of these people are my closest friends and there are times I have had some pretty harsh situations to deal with. I have never walked away from a friendship because of this but I have walked away from the situation. It wasn't necessary for me to say anything, they understand how I felt.

There is such a thing as a "quiet spirit", sometimes it's better to let your faith and your heart speak through how you treat others. I am by no means an example and don't feel like it's my place to preach to others, I would cause more harm than good. I am not telling you to take anything out of your profile, I admire you for it. What I am telling you is, shake the dust off your feet and move on. Unfortunately there are many people of the Christian faith that don't understand the core of it, that don't realize the damage they can cause. Forgiveness, compassion, unconditional love, generosity, and mercy are so many times left behind in the "march to victory". If you do nothing but sow a seed by your kindness, that is a victory. This is not a war to be waged on the "unbeliever".

Always take great care in what you say when representing your faith. I wish you well .

I think you do a great job representing the majority of Christians in how you live your life, and these comments. Thank you for sharing!

Regards,

That was lovely Torrid !

RELEASE THE LIONS!

*dons a luskwood Lion avatar* Rawr?

This post is descrimination against tigers and as a feline-american I am ARing you.

I'm calling you out on your trolling.

That's right, Trolling.

On the last thread, it did indeed turn into a dramabomb that was predictably moved. The entire thread, you did not respond once to a single post on the thread. You made a valid complaint that had the undertones of internet evangelism or trying to stir up a situation where you could claim you were being descriminated against, and appear a martyr.

SO now the thread is moved and you're crying foul, creating another thread to claim you and your faith have been somehow shunned by the forum moderators. Predictable. This proves my point, which really pisses me off, as people "crying wolf" to draw attention to themselves makes the legitimate of their faith look bad. You're not a martyr. Jesus was a martyr. Stephen was a martyr. Unless you're going to go out and get killed because you simply believe, NOT because you're shoving it down people's throats, you're not a martyr. You're just a self-righteous troll who is trying to vault your opinion via the Second Life forums, and I prescribe that you go self-fornicate as a curative measure.

Corvus, actually it did respond in the other thread with this



So you're 100% correct, it's an evangelist troll.

Earl, get the diesel fuel.....


Edit: Beginning construction of a Golden Calf in this troll's honor when I get home.

Corvus you may have missed it what with 30 some pages of posts, but Ty did reply to the orginal thread only to indicate that he felt the need to push the evangelical agenda in second life since we are all heathens yada yada yada. I forget which page it is on, but I know I responded.
