Apartment Life = Satantist?
bear5000:
I got the email and deleted it, I really missed the magic from the first sims so I'm glad it's back, besides my wife isn't a satanist and she's a practicing witch, so labeling people out of fear isn't cool.
TheDebofNight:
I find the sheer and utter stupidity in it hilarious. It is just a game and not meant to be taken literally, honestly. I saw nothing satanic about the witches in the game, and trust me I spent the better part of three days since getting the EP looking for them just so I could test them out and see.
Though sadly upon finding out that witches were in the game I kind of suspected that something would happen like this, where it was taken to an extreme.
Everyone is entitled to their own belief system and what they want to see on their site, that is their right as an owner. What I think is absolutely disturbing is that she’s banning people that don’t share in her opinion. Religion is a touchy subject and she really should have known upon posting and sending out her little email, that there were going to be those that didn’t have her views and would try to explain it. As a site owner she should have known this and been prepared to instead of banning actually take the time to listen to her members and find a happy medium on her so called Christian (when it suits her site) that she has.
Bottom line her banning people from my angle is just wrong, a forum is meant to give its members a place to speak freely and not somewhere that they have to hide what they think; just because they fear the admin might very well ban them for that belief. Its being small minded and hypocritical on her part.
Ugh, small minded people make me sad.
Cinamun:
This is the first i've heard of it. I don't really think playing my little old computer game that just happens to have a witch in it will send me to hell wearing gasoline panties.. but, to each his/her own.
I respect any site owner's wish to allow/disallow any content they see fit. I don't have to agree or disagree with it. All I have to do is continue to be a mad addict of the sims and eventually try to find some kind of treatment for said addiction...
... help me..
Lestergirl:
No "Evil" SimsWitches, but Bewitch Witches are ok? That is so absurdly moronic and pathetically sad, in a hysterically funny kind of way. I am going to chuckle about this the rest of the day.
queennocture:
As a practicing Christian, I'm going to put in my two cents. From what I was raised with, we are not supposed to allow something like the occult get in the way of our worship of God. That's our personal belief. I personally think that playing a computer game with mentions of witchcraft or reading a book like Harry Potter equals entertainment, not worship. I don't take a vow to worship Satan whenever I play Sims 2 or read a fantasy book, so I don't understand DLmulsow's problem.
Of course, granted, there are people in my religion that think anything mentioning ideas outside of a literal description of the Bible is evil. I personally call these people "idiots," and I hate that people get their views of my religion from them.
However, it is DLMulsow's site and it's her right to set the rules for the site. Even if it means violating rules she already set down:
Quote
This site is friendly to most all diversity. DLMulsow is a Christian individual and all races, colors and creeds are accepted here. You are free to be different and unique. We will not tolerate bashing of any sort for individual opinions or concerns.
It is also my right and the right of everyone else in the sim community to not visit her site. :D
Finally, I wonder why she would make a big fuss over a video game's version of witchcraft when the same game contains the potential for these "unChristian" behaviors:
pre-marital sex
adultery
co-habitation
streaking
male pregnancy
the ability to be gay/bi/whatever
aliens
zombies
vampires
Robots and the ability to have "relations" with robots
werewolves
plant people
Bigfoot
Genies
Maids in skimpy outfits
And overall, the ability to make sims live a life that she probably doesn't approve of.
(And that's before the game mods ^_~ )
