I already pointed out to you that beyond a corp name, said corp appears to have no relation to said real world religious sect...

Ah, yes you would say that.

I note you're a member of CAstabouts. Why the capitalisation of 'CA'? Seem almost like you are hinting at 'Catholic'.

This game is just being overrun with religious references. Overrun I tell you

/sarcasm

OP...was your husband the guy who posted about crosses in Gallente stations a few weeks ago?

Looks like CCP is really searching too far for conflict drivers. Just add a "Religious Affiliation" field to corps/alliances and you've got the best time-honoured bloodbath in existence. The killing will never stop (even after the servers go down)

It's all fun and games until someone gets beheaded iRL because they got ganked ingame by a player of the opposite religion.

Post with your NPC alt main and not your main main alt!

Plot twist: OP is just here to advertise for the corp.

It seems the loons come out to post whenever Doc is sleeping.

OP should only be concerned if members of this corp start coming `round their station on bicycles to espouse their beliefs.

Civil discourse is uniquely human. After all, when is the last time a pride of lions and a herd of water buffalo negotiated SOV over a watering hole? Never. Someone either gets their ass kicked or eaten. At the end of the day someone holds SOV.

I went to bed with a mormon once

She wasn't a mormon anymore after that.

Ye gods this thread is awful.

OP unbunch your knickers and report that which you find to be offensive to CCP and let them deal with it as they deem fit, kindly stop shitting up the forums with your rule breaking babble.

While there are distant echos of real world belief systems in game, I think that I can safely say that CCP don't endorse any of them; they don't give a monkey's which particular ideology, mythological being or imaginary friend in the sky, that their customers choose to believe in, as long as they pay their way and don't break the rules.

The only discussion of "religion" that is allowed on the forums relates to in game stuff, which in itself is often parody.

Reported for inappropriate discussion of religion, implied hatred of a particular religious group and generally being a humourless nincompoop

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

I want to post in this thread! This is the bestest worst thread in a very long time. I'm so happy to have convulsive laughter with intermittent projectile vomiting! It hasn't been since a guy with mittens posted here that I've had the same PLEASURE!

I still can't believe someone dissed an entire religion that owns an entire state and a particular set of psychotics!!

WOO HOO! Ain't we havin' fun NOW??

I'm beginning to suspect rolling on the floor laughing is what prevents ISDs from locking these threads immediately; but once they regain the ability to sit upright and not spill coffee over their screens I'm sure they'll take care of business LOL

That description applies to pretty much every religion out there tbh.

No, it's not that.

They just can't start work before their morning prayers, and also, they need to have their magic underwear on before they conduct any tasks of judgement.

Uh, okay, so I logged in and saw the ad, and it's for a player-run corp. It's also not called the church of latter day saints, it's just called "Latter Day Saints". There are three corps in game with this phrase in the name, and in case you haven't read the EULA, this isn't a breach of it. Nor does it mean that CCP endorses the church of latter day saints. You are overreacting to someone having some harmless fun, and Malcanis is right, you got triggered hard.

Player Ads for some prominent religious cults that are in real life look terrible in EVE. Breaks immersion.


What? There's nothing immersion breaking about human religions still existing in a human future. The Amarr Empire's religion is in fact an extension of classic Catholicism.


From the OP alone I guessed this was another thread made by a crazy person and look here, I was right. Just some player-corp causing the OP to flip out like someone posting from a mental ward.

Just so you know though, the Amarr religion comes from a weird Christian cult only indirectly related to Catholicism. And that was something like eight thousand years ago. The modern Amarrian religion has as much to do with Christianity as Marduk-worship. (Many Babylonian gods show up in the bible as demons.)

7. Discussion of real life religion and politics is prohibited.

Discussion of real life religion and politics is strictly prohibited on the EVE Online forums. Discussions of this nature often creates animosity between forum users due to real life political or military conflicts. CCP promotes the growth of a gaming community where equality is at the forefront. Nationalist, religious or political affiliations are not part of EVE Online, and should not be part of discussion on the EVE Online forums.

32. Rumor mongering is prohibited.

Rumor threads and posts which are based off no actual solid information and are designed to either troll or annoy other users will be locked and removed. These kinds of threads and posts are detrimental to the wellbeing and spirit of the EVE Online Community, and can create undue panic among forum users, as well as adding to the workload of our moderators.


CCP is not and has not endorsed any real life religion. The ad you see is for a player corp. If your offended by a Player Name or Corp name file a support ticket.
