Just stop. Christians are not an oppressed minority in Western world.....no matter how much some of you try to wrap yourselves in victim status. Shiro wasn't making fun of Christians. He was making fun of the IDOLATRY of the Eliksni, and the fact that they worship MACHINES as "gods". That this thing that looks like it (almost certainly was) rebuilt from junkyard scrap was being seen as something "divine". IOW, you conveniently left out the last thing that Shiro said in that monologue: [i]"Get in there!! Show them that their 'god' is NOTHING BUT METAL-AND-TECH." [/i] Frankly, I think you're just walking around with a chip on your shoulder and looking for something to be "offended" by. In which case, that's your problem. No one else's. Oh, and have you forgotten you're playing a game where the heroes serve a machine that actually CAN perform miracles? Where's your "offense" at that? I believe the Speaker (at the end of the vanilla game) refers to The Traveller as a "broken god."

  • Yes the speaker believes the traveler to be a god and many believe that the miracles are somehow spiritual rather than simply a manipulation of the forces of nature. Anyway, there are other theological traditions in the city as well. Nope, I am not offended by any of that. And yeah I know that about the last part of the dialogue, but writers also try to convey other meanings in their work. I understand if you disagree with my opinion on what that meaning was, but I'd like to hear it from his or her mouth. Dang I miss the vanilla game

  • Translation: I will pick and choose what I will be offended by.

  • Yep, leave it to the professionally offended to dig something like that out of a video game about space magic.

  • Its a line from a Goo Goo Dolls tune. Its condemning those who try to take power by (falsely) portraying themselves as victims.
