Ya even if thos sites are one sided... the bible is graphic and a lot of the pictures in it got removed by the very puritans propering it up... humans are a sick lot :P
However it is part of not a cult but a main religion hell even the side religions should not be labeled like works of fiction..it should be warped in black paper and marked with religion on it :P(I KID!)
Works of religion are just that, that are story's to inspire the flock , idiots use it as a club bu the majority of the faithful are normal people hat enjoy modern entertainment you might even meet them at the pub, even zippy understands religion is more than a child's fight ^_~.

In trying to bring this back to the topic, I guess
"those in glass houses should not throw stones" as the saying goes.
These idoits need to look at themselves and the evil book they
try to shove down our throats before they they go out and tell others
what they want censorship applied to.

I visited the first page and found it rather funny since there was for example this in the site:
"If more people would actually sit down and read the Bible there would be a lot more atheists like myself."
The guy who created this site might have read the bible yet understand nothing since he thinks that. It's not about reading, it's about understanding. I think that line should be more like:
"If more people would actually sit down not siding with anyone and read and understand the Bible there would be a lot more believers like myself.
And yes, I do think are some gruesome parts in the Bible too. Don't take me wrong.
I apologize for the off topic.
As for the news: I don't really think stricting the rating would do anything. Things would be much better if the parents looked after their kids and not bought some 30+ game to their six year old son.

But they are already being passed.. all the time. The DMCA was thought up by media monopolies and Republicans.. Bush is a republican, and says he is a christian.. The christian right in US politics are behaving in an unconstitutional way, because with Bush at the helm they can get away with it..and the US public generally being sheep will follow any old nonsense.

Just my quick two sense about religion. Most religion either loosly follow their rules or not at all, such as most Christian religions with the statues, images, political influence, etc. Then I see a group who actually do to the letter what the bible says, the jehovahs witnesses. Besides them knocking on your door a little early in the morning they are very good people and yet I see blind hatred twords them. So you get riddiculed for doing the right thing? Just something I've wondered.

because when a humble religion is passive the bigger meaner religions pick on it, human nature after all.

Not that I have anything against JW's, 21Q,you being one and all, just that, even those, given any kind of a chance at all, will be all over you, before you can take a breath. I have had that experience. First they help you with the dishes, or the gardening, or whatever little job you may be at when they come, next thing they are doing the hoovering and making your beds, and once they are inside the door, there is no getting rid of them. And I do not believe that the Lord intended for this invasion to happen.
So, truly, they are no better, no worse than any of the other pushers out there. I reckon it would be all right if they did this for a hobby, annoying other people that is, but they are dedicated meddlers.
And that is why I do not believe that they are any better/worse than those politicians who preach at you while picking your pockets.

Zippy invites them in for tea and questions why is god wrathful and hatefull on his people that Christ sacrificed himself to save regardless if they know of him or not =^^=
Copyright infringement is nothing more than civil disobedience to a bad set of laws. Lets renegotiate them.

Aw, 21Q, go on, for all you know, you may have the answer to life, the universe, and everything. Answer, and save us the torment of thinking you know something that we do not.

I think that the age warnings have to be on the games however i do not think sales people ask for idea when a customer wants to buy a game whereas they have to ask for i.d if the suspect the person to be a minor.

What's the word there, Borhan 9. I am no longer sure what it was we were discussing. Perhaps you would care to reason with us for a while longer, so we know what is being talked about.

Sorry about this, Borhan 9. I have just realised that the discussion was about the finns and their xtian groups. I am almost certain that it was them that went out to Africa with their beads, and their stories and tried to take away the native riches against gold and ivory finds.
Maybe I am wrong.
