Apartment Life = Satantist?
J00wish:
Hi drpf! In regards to the topic posted, was anyone banned for being on DL's site for their affiliation with her based on the religious statements? I don't want this to be a file sharing issue as Kathy is trying to be as neutral as possible. I can also tell you that no creators have been banned here for that. They are more than welcome to share their creations as long as they follow the rules set forth on this site. :)
I am glad that you have not had any issues with DL. I have been fighting to keep this thread from becoming a bashing of her. She has every right to her beliefs. But people also have a right to sound off on their opinion of the email and their personal feelings on the AL EP, witchcraft and whether or not it crosses the line.

Ok, I'm too lazy to read the whole thread, but I think somebody is 'slightly' overreacting.
I'm a Christian, and I don't believe witchcraft is right, but I do believe in people having enough sense to choose what they want to believe, accept and 'use'.
Also, I don't think banning members is the way to convert people, it's more likely to scare them away. There is a line between telling people about your faith, and acting like your church and faith is the only right thing in the whole wide world.
But that's just me.

Christians also believe that these 'false gods' are nothing more then disguises used by the devil to trick people into worshipping the wrong god and therefore into sin. Hence how witches/pagans came to be viewed as satan-worshippers, because we worship false gods, ie satan.
Excuse me, but this is the first I've heard about this. I've always been taught (as a Christian) to respect others' beliefs, no matter what they are. It may have been another of Constantine's smear tactics, but that's definitely not what was originally believed.
Please correct me if I'm wrong :)

Sadie, the quote is's true... this was something that's in the Old Testament of the Bible. Basically "Thou shall not put other gods before me" in the Ten Commandments.
Hey... as long as we're not believing in and worshiping other deities other than Him, ("we're" in the meaning of Christian believers, or however you want to take it) it's okay to know about them and understand how other people worship. I see nothing wrong with the knowledge of the fact, and I do hold respect for the other religions. We just all have different preferences is all. :angel:

Each person believe anything he wants to believe, but he (or she, in our case) shouldnt force other people to believe his "rubbish" thoughts, whom may not be truth, I dont believe Maxis are group of satanic peple and they developed gameplay for that.
How could this be satanic nor evil? whatever.
