Apartment Life = Satantist?
caffeinated.joy:
Yes, ancienthighway, it was in general, as I've noticed more than one person has started to get rather hot under the collar.
First and foremost we all should remember that, even though we speak English in this forum, it's not everyone's first language, and often we'll read things that can be construed as an insult but wasn't intended as such. I know I've been guilty of that myself. We're talking about a subject that's very personal to everyone, and we all beleive we are in the right. It's potentially inflammatory and ripe for debate, but, for the most part it's been a friendly conversation about differing viewpoints. I'm proud of us all for proving we don't have to agree to see eye to eye.

This all started over posting of pictures or downloads that may cross the line/push the limit for what she wants at the site....and snowballed out of control at warp speed. It wasn't about anyone being unwelcome, just inapproprieate content. No kidding. Nuff said on that from me.
As far as the question that is the topic of this thread, I am Catholic and didn't think much of about the witches in the game. I felt no different about the witches than I do the vamps and zombies. Now that this question has been put out there, I have thought about it more. Christian belief, as many have stated, is that things of an occult nature makes many uncomfortable.
As far as Sim~Antics policy, it is fair enough to accept that content of the uploads or pictures above pg13 are not considered appropriate. As it being Christian based, things of an occult nature would follow suit, as an inverted cross, would perhaps be offensive to some members and the site owner. Other than that, the members carry on as they do here. Play the game, share with friends and have fun.
As many know, I am active here as well as at Sim~Antics and GoS. For those that feel uncomfortable, as far as what others think of them because of where they post, I feel I must say this. I have never been treated any different because of where I choose to post and get my shiny stuff nor who I am friends with. Not by DL, Kathy, Nymphy, Nouk nor any of the members of these sites. I am treated based on how I carry myself and interact on the boards. Period.

I saw her behavior both here & at the adult site, where it was usually one of her posts showing up first to drool & comment over the latest pixelated penis that showed up for download. We that were here and were part & parcel to her hypocrisy really expect no less from her at her own site.
ROFL I guess Christians aren't allowed to like sex? Just because she was a member at an adult forum doesn't make her any less a Christian. Her friends KNOW she spoke out against the porn that was being posted there.
Wasn't the 'adult' site just a sim site for adult sim material at first? Now it's just porn.
I've seen several posts that mock her for having been a member at the adult site. So? Christians have 'woohoo' too. Where do you think more Christians come from?
SHC, your post is the most informative, non-invasive and easily read post in this entire thread. Being from South Texas I am familiar with your description of her Christian beliefs and it sounded appropriate, so I asked her.
She said yes about the witchcraft thing. I didn't ask about Buddism or anything. She also said that witches from the game will be okay and so will recolored stuff and whatnot, just not satanic stuff posted on her site. It looks like she has been somewhat misunderstood on what is allowed there.
I agree she could have worded the email differently to avoid offending some people, but she didn't. How long does a person have to pay?
Bottom line is that tolerance goes both ways.
zaleth:
Well I think she is a bit one sided and there a lot of us Real Witches out here, Yes I am Wiccan, however, this is only a game and I suppose she bans Halloween to since that allows children to dress up like witches and demons :P She needs to get her facts straight since being a witch has nothing to do with Satan or evil.......
I would like to add why did she not post about vampires, zombies or werewolves? By her words they would also be lumped in with the witches.
GAMBLER:
I guess you will never know how she really feels since she is banned from here and cannot defend herself. I haven't seen any threads like this at her site either. There are no threads where people talk down to each other, it's pretty much just a nice social atmosphere. Maybe if you are a Wiccan or whatever you could go there and ask if you're welcome without starting some kind of fight or public issue then you would know. All I know is she told me that 'everyone was welcome, but satanic stuff was not'.
