SO MUCH FOR TOLERANCE
OK, I'm assuming many of you have seen these two posts: the person who wants to play Destiny with others within the LGBT/Furry community, and the person who wants to play with Christians. Now let me say first this is not going to devolve into a theological or argument about morals. When the guy(or girl) who made his post about playing with other Christians, his thread was torn apart. He, his beliefs, and anyone who sided with him were discriminated and made fun of. He was told countless times that he was wrong and stupid for believing what he did.
Now today there was another post made by a guy(or girl) wishing to play with with those in the LGBT and "furry" communities. This thread, thankfully, was met with nothing but kind words and willingness to play, even by those who were not LGBT.
Why is there a difference between the responses to the Christian post and the LGBT/furry post? Neither was condemning those who didn't think like them, simply asking to play with like-minded people of similar backgrounds, yet one was discriminated and made fun of. Why is this OK? We supposedly live in this generation of tolerance, where everyone's beliefs and lifestyles are to be accepted, so why the intolerance? Everybody should remember the Golden rule, treat others the way you want to be treated.
Ok guys, it's getting a little out of hand. This is not a topic about religion, it is about respecting each other. Remember, just be nice to people. It doesn't cost anything. You're not required to agree with them, but do not belittle or discriminate against them for thinking differently than you do.

11 RepliesBecause liberal morons run the world. Good values an morals are nonexistent. White people are the only one who can be racist Straight people are the only sexists Disarming people will be beneficial. Etc etc Of course it will trickle down into the internet

Also you can't please everyone, try to do so and you please no one. Your right, we "supposedly" live in this generation of tolerance, but sometimes diversity creates adversity. Once in a while I catch BS from xbox users on here but IDGAF about one company that hasn't made an overall profit in years and another who has total monopoly over PC OS (windows).

Edited by Keeyop: 7/22/2014 7:00:36 PMGive people a keyboard & a thin veil of anonymity and there are some people who relish the opportunity to turn into opinionated little turds spouting agenda of rage, opinion as fact rhetoric all over the place, until everything descends into the eristic. Unfortunately its what the internet as a whole seems devolved into. The more things that pull us together as a community, the more things we will find to segregate ourselves from each other.

I have not seen the posts, but it's just the "fad" right now gay is IN and anything that represents anti-gay feelings(religion) is OUT. 10 years ago this would have been reversed, heck probably 3 years ago. But I don't understand why people feel the need to go out of their way to put someone down. They need to get out of their house and do something productive if putting people down in online forums is what they do for fun.

I can't begin to like this post enough. I thought the same thing when I read these posts. Thanks for calling this out, as it is affirming to know there are people in this forum who can appreciate people and respect their walks if life, no matter what that looks like. Thank you. Bungie, take note of this and promote equality in these forums, it's about time to foster some good will towards everyone who is posting here.

Edited by Arron Rift: 7/22/2014 7:06:51 PMI completely agree with the OP. In the irony of all ironies, "Tolerant" doesn't actually mean "able to tolerate differences" as much as it means "agrees with liberals", so if you hope to actually talk about real tolerance, you're going to need to find another word! I would suggest "open minded" but the left has also changed that to mean "agrees with liberals".

1 ReplyTolerance has become a lovely double standard now a days. You point fingers and screech intolerance and blasphemy on all those who don't share your view. All the while your the one being just as intolerance and stuck up. Plain and simple both sides do it. One way or another I can easily see why people would want to group up with other like minded people, and if you have different opinions well then go play somewhere else and don't go crazy trying to ruin someone else's fun because they don't share your opinions. In essence, let people play and have fun with their own opinions and do just the same.

1 ReplyAt the moment I hate both communities. Both preach about being "tolerant" but neither actually act upon it. The problem is that no one seems to know what tolerance means, it doesn't mean you have to accept or even like others belief/lifestyles it just means you have to put up with it...tolerate it. [b]To LBGT[/b] I say this: you can't force [b]acceptance[/b] so stop bashing our beliefs or your become no better than anyone else. [b]To Christians:[/b] To each his own, focus on self improvement and let others live as they please in the end [b]you[/b] will be judged for [b]your[/b] actions. But what does any of this have to do with the game?!

1 ReplyI am quite surprised at most of your answers!, it gives me a lot more hope to see you all defending each person's individual rights to be who they are without question. My life is not your life, your life is not my life, what we do in our lives is no one else's business until it directly effects another person... that's it.

9 RepliesReligion is a backwards old world superstition, it has no place in games , maybe they should keep their religious views to church
-
awesome they want to play with other Christians. That's great. The little children on here know nothing about life or religion which is why they attack them. Understanding you are not the center of the universe is hard for ignorant tiny brained people to wrap their head around. The gay shit is everywhere now and people are forced to accept it or you're an evil [url=http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law]-godwinslaw!-[/url] bigot. I for one am sick and tired of it and it's disgusting but if they wanna play a video with other gays than by all means. They should be allowed to do so. Just like a Christian should be allowed to play with other Christians without a bunch of ignorant little self centered babies yelling at them.

Because today's youth are being conditioned to be accepting of the gay community, while simultaneously hating on any community that opposes said gay community.

Hey buddy, could you please provide links to both forums, thx!

3 RepliesIt hurts me to hear this. I don't know why everyone has to be disrespectful about everything. 90% of these people wouldn't say anything to someone's face, but the internet grants them the anonymity to say things they normally wouldn't, which is good and terrible at the same time.

3 Repliesfurys are pedophiles i dont want to be near them

Sadly, intolerance and cruelty are most people's default response to anything on the internet.
-
28 RepliesBecause if you believe in God you're actually stupid. You're believing in something without any actual proof of it. Faith is NOT a virtue all it is is blind believing. I have no respect for religious people because they deserve none. Religion is damaging to society and holds us back as a species. It also propagates hate and intolerance based off believing in things that don't exist

Plz stahp

It's because you got a ton of little kids who only care about hurting peoples feelings and are hateful towards people unlike them.

Edited by MadHaze_01: 7/22/2014 8:35:57 PMAgnostic here , I don't know and I don't pretend to know. But what I do know is , people who tell you that they "know" ,..often "know " nothing. It's a case of The more you "know "the more you realise you don't "know" , the less you "know" the more you think you "Know". Get it? Got it ? Good! :) Now lets talk about some games.

23 RepliesEdited by MadRussian0: 7/23/2014 7:34:40 PMFirst of all, I am a Christian and a proud one at that! Now, the Bible says that we are to love one another, gay or not, but not to except their lifestyle. Most importantly, those who are gay and choose to adopt kids, are selfish. Why, because kids aren't meant to be raised with two moms or two dads. Both a Father and a Mother bring something unique to a child's development. Anyhow, just a thought.

7 Repliesisn't there a rule on the forum about having religious topic being forbidden? if not i think they should so everyone can keep religion out. No would will ever agree to the same thing. So go get a reality check please. Can an admin lock this thread and throw it away, and post new forum rules about political and religious views.
-
21 RepliesBecause God is real and the people who choose not to believe in God or try to hide the exisistance of him are mad because they blame Him for all the suffering in their life or whatever is wrong. Basicly ignorance.. compared to someone who has read the bible and gone to a chrisian school and knows and understands a little better than they do. And sadly the only thing we can do as Christians is pray for them and try to talk to them and help those other people. God will do the rest (:

This world hates religion my man and it will only get worse. If you've seen that south park episode in which all the atheists form alliances and ultimately hate each other you should watch that see how much of they spite religion for being stupid.

4 RepliesI'm with you dude. Neither person was forcing anything on the community. They just asked for like minded individuals to game with. The christian guy gets blasted as if he killed a relative. The LGBT guy gets an honorary place at the table as if he saved a relative. I'm not religious at all but I respect another persons opinion if it is delivered respectfully. Which both were.
