I'm open to anyone's beliefs and respect them. Does not mean I agree with them
Fargo, you are presuming many people already believe in your ideology or are so set in your beliefs you fail to acknowledge others (assuming that people want to read this, believe in "God" and an afterlife). I appreciate you are simply spreading information which you found useful/ or else strongly believe in and want to preach to others.
Have you read any works by Magus Anton Szandor LaVey ? Most gamers already follow some of these practices through simply enjoying games for themselves - human nature doing what pleases oneself.
I find it scary for some people to be brainwashed from birth into accepting some beliefs without looking for answers themselves. They are not easy to find
btw Fargo, I am not suggesting you are one of these people, and I am not going to indicate which religions or beliefs are more susceptible to this. If you have believed in one particular set of beliefs since birth, that is completely your own business and obviously I cannot/ will not challenge that.
If anyone is interested in a 'code of practice' for suggestions on how to live and enjoy yourself rather than a religion with rules and punishments, you could do worse than checking out the Church of Satan. This is not a stereotypical 'anti christian cult' as media would have you believe. In fact, the church does not even acknowledge christianity (& therefore the 'devil') so you can forget about upside down crosses etc that you see in films!
Anyhows... I am not going to preach or that would be more hypocritical than this post has already become! Read up on it yourselves if you want and make your own judgements (which is exactly what we prescribe
) Just do whatever makes you feel good, do not harm animals for any reason other than survival or food and do not harm inncoent people. Pretty much obvious normal facts of life, check out the church for more details if ya like.
