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.

Edited by Krutorian: 7/22/2014 10:39:58 PMNothing in life is truly uni-dimensional. When we do things as people, most of us tend to gravitate towards that which is familiar, elementally similar, and fundamentally a safe environment for us to be ourselves with minimal inhibitions about anything. It's unfortunate that some people are so afraid of the world, their life, and even themselves that they are compelled to be prejudice, hostile, and even violent against others because they aren't strong enough, smart enough, or resourceful enough to know themselves and be the nature of what humanity as a whole is: diversity... If you don't like Christians, then be happy they are trying to create a dedicated clan. It means that you'll eventually interact with them less because they took the effort to assemble and enjoy this awesome game with people they are similar to, which obviously isn't you. See how reasoning works? If you don't like them and they are interested in being on their own with their own, then the two of you have a similar agenda...That goes for all distinctions between us... Now, I'm not specifically of any religious association myself, but I can tell you this: Any of you that show prejudice, malevolence, or cowardice, towards your fellow gamers, will never get to be a part of the end game competitive Clans that I will lead or ally myself with. Thanks to this forum, I will have the chance to audit your behaviors, your flaws, the very quality of who you are. If you're found wanting, you will be judged, and there is nothing you'll ever be able to do to escape my will regarding it... Do have fun never quite measuring up to the traits needed to be a successful player in this community... So much for tolerance...
