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.

Lol tolerance......the internet is the last place i would expect it.

This is a game. No need for life-lessons. People can have their own opinions and someone who posts stuff like that should be prepared for the haters out there. It's life. And again, this is a game we are all here to enjoy playing. Leave your personal stuff out of it.

113 RepliesIf Christians are intolerant to other views and opinions why should people be tolerant of their views. Being an atheist, it's very hard for me to understand how people can still believe in the stories of the bible with so much information out there from all sciences.

Lifestyles are accepted, but beliefs are not and never will be. It's actually rather sad.

Woah, when did furry get added to the equation? The community must have been very upset that Tiger man was excluded from the final product.

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.

I don't generally come back to these threads once I've said what I want to say - because it's alot like mud wrestling with pigs. You both get dirty and the pigs like it.

That's easy. Christians are not seen as victims. So-called "LGBT"s are.

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.

i find this to be true across the board in all social platforms. people are far more tolerant of "progressive" thinking or behavior, than older belief systems. i'm not sure why this is. i can say as an openly gay woman, that i don't mind any one expressing their views and opinions, as long as they aren't trying to push them on me. live and let live

Hands up who's gay!...................I'm not!

1 ReplyEdited by CaptainKrunch72: 7/22/2014 8:25:11 PMOk fine, I won't preach here, just don't be dicks, it's that simple. Another person being a dick isn't an excuse for you to be one. Applies to athiests, Christians, and bigots.

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".

Intolerance and hatred is in human nature. It will exist in any place humanity is found. That means any country, religion, group, etc. Human beings will find a way to pervert and exploit even the most well intended beliefs.

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.
-
I agree with you. Everyone should take a lesson in humanism imo. There is nothing wrong with someone with religious preferences searching to play with others who share the same faith. Nor anything wrong likewise with the LGBT or furry communities reaching out for people with commonalities to play with. If you are against them, what makes you so special and correct? What reason do you have to tear into them other than to fill your own (probably already overinflated) Ego? If someone wishes to express something and it doesn't personally effect you or harm you, then leave them be. And if, in some way, playing the same game as someone of another faith, who is gay, or a furry, or a brony, you might as well box yourself up in your closet because everyone in the world has a different belief in something to some extent. (And please don't take this as a personal attack against the haters, I wish they could get past their egos and see that none of this is really that bad if you took the time to understand it.)

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

Sadly, intolerance and cruelty are most people's default response to anything on the internet.

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.

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