Apartment Life = Satantist?
Zephyrash:
I quit playing for a while and all this happens...I didn't even get the email. I must be really out of the loop...and probably banned now.
Modern Christianity drove me away with its emphasis on their Satan (and the whole gay issue) now my game is "satanic"??? Jeeze thats more than even I can tolerate.
I enjoy the occasional CC download spree and havent wanted to delete any links to good quality stuff, thats why I had to come back here now and then for the good stuff.
I have to be honest and say I just dont know what to think anymore. You all raised such valid points of view and I'm happy this post caught my eye.
I miss being part of a lively Simming community but not so much that I want to dive back into the drama of being slammed for having a part in the DLM site.
Please know I never knew the whole christianity issue would take over the site. I know a few of you have voiced your distaste for those of us who frequented her site but it wasn't all about her religion for us, we just enjoyed the game.
I enjoy the game and the witches are really cute...and my Selfie is a cackling green sparkly witch now.

Miz did you bother reading any of this thread? If not I would suggest you do so.

I think your view is screwed and you need to seek help.
Why is your opinion or anyone else's right and hers wrong? If this is her faith based decision then I say good for her, she is taking a stand on what is important to her. Freedom of speech is just that, the right to say that she finds this content offensive. Freedom of religion says she can bar such offensive things from her site. Welcome to America, if it bothers you...Harden Up!!!
...Because it's factually incorrect? Like she said, did you even read the entire thread? What's with the jingoistic crap too?
Paden:
It seems that you have hardened up in the brain area. I was raised with religion, but also not to judge. I have no problem with Wiccans or pagans, in fact the man that performed my marriage ceremony was a gay Wiccan. She didn't even have any evidence to support her assertion that Apartment Life was indeed, Satanic, she just had a knee jerk reaction that spilled out onto the rest of the community. She can do what she likes on her site, but to openly bash the faith and orientation of others is a sad testimony of what kind of belief she actually has. It is a cartoon representation of what lots of people believe about witches, like the Wizard of Oz, complete with the green skin for the bad witches. Educate yourself about what Satanism actually is, and maybe your faith will grow. Continue to flail about like a chicken being roasted alive, and you will be aboard the phailboat with the likes of her. Besides, it's not as if she has ever practiced what she preaches at others to do, but that is something else for another time.

Hi Zephy... Sadly there will, undoubtly, be drama on any site. The homosexual issue is what drove a number of my close friends away from Christianity as well because they felt unwelcome and unwanted. Needless to say it isn't a pleasant feeling and as one friend described it.. Why would he choose a sexual preference that would have caused him to be shunned by his family and his community?
We have so many different types of people that play this game. Whether they be gay or straight, Christian or Muslim the game does not discriminate. They even gave males the ability to have babies. Witches, aliens, zombies all seem to appeal to the younger fan base while amusing, even if only for the short term, the older fan base.
The only discrimination I see is the ones that we impose on other people. As I stated before I could make up the most outlandish rules and say you either agree or go away. For the most part, whether people agreed or not, they wouldn't say boo and would simply grab their downloads and run back to a site where they are not going to be judged because they don't fit into what the other person views as being acceptable.
