It isn't Satanic. That was the main point in the other thread. It is simply another belief that has been skewed, out of fear and ignorance of what it is, and twisted into something it isn't.

We have opened a thread here for people that actually wish to discuss the religious aspect, their views as to how it pertains to the game and the like. Feel free to discuss further things there as I have stipulated in my post.

Based heavily off of the things discussed in this thread and a suggestion from Zephy we decided to start a new discussion to allow people to discuss how their religious faith or non-conformist faith impacts the way they view and play this game.Relgious faith versus Non-conformist faith? Discuss.


Fair warning that intolerance for the non-conformist will not be allowed, nor will flaming of the religious. Everyone is entitled to his or her own opinions and will be given the oppurtunity to express those. And lets keep personal attacks out of it. We, the staff, do not wish to see the DL issue beat into the ground any further but you may discuss your views on witchcraft, satanism, christianity to your hearts content.

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"Huh? 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.
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.

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

I think tomorrow after the kids are at school I will read up on it a bit more. The media has always painted it to be something completely different and as well all know the media feeds us what they want us to believe.. regardless whether it is correct or not.
42  Simmers' Paradise / Sims 2 Apartment Life Chat / Apartment Life = Satantist? on: September 01, 2008, 11:26:45 pm
Which brings me to my next question.. how many of us actually understand modern day satanism? I will be the first to admit that I have no idea other than the articles I read from the 80's.
43  Simmers' Paradise / Sims 2 Apartment Life Chat / Apartment Life = Satantist? on: September 01, 2008, 10:44:37 pm
Forgive me but have I once mocked her religious beliefs? I don't believe I have. Again everyone is free to believe what they will and as long as they aren't shoving their beliefs down my throat I hardly think it is my concern as to what they believe or disbelieve.
 
This happened to be shoved down everyones throat. I find it interesting and in some ways has been educational otherwise I wouldn't have spent my time the last few nights reading up on the Wiccan/Pagan religions.
 
And as I have already stated if this were anyone else this thread would still exsist as an oppurtunity for people to discuss whether or not certain aspect, in this case witchcraft, is somehow wrong. The vast majority that have replied apparently have no problems with it and are as dumbfounded as I am as to what is wrong with it.

What amazes me is that these are adults making these claims, not the children. Barney helps teach children the difference between right and wrong, to love and respect one another.

That is so insane. Thank you for that link. I watched that show daily for years with my daughters and as much as it annoyed me I saw it for what it is, an innocent show geared towards toddlers that seem to capture their attention so mommy can clean the kitchen.
