Quit reading into things that are not there.

You will see what you want to see.

Try these for example.

"Sickness Quotient: 62%

Interpersonal Insights
You think everyone is out to get you, and you're absolutely right. It's because you're an awful person without any redeeming qualities. You complain about everything regardless of what it is. You wouldn't be happy even if you were hit by a new car."

That's... uncanny. But as far as the OP religion/cross thing goes, I can't see it.

As a Christian believer who is fully aware that the cross is of pagan origin and fervently believe it has no place in the Christian religion: This is a fictional game about a universe where a single section of that universe is based on a religion that does not exist or is practiced in real life. Outside of fictional "roleplaying" CCP does not promote any religion in game or outside of game and has actively locked threads containing religious overtones.

It's a game. Either enjoy it, or don't.

Sounds like minmatar space is more for you.

As a clean cut capsuleer your tattoo's offend me btw.

*sigh*

More proof that no matter what faith/belief/principles you believe in, there will always be zealots who take it too far and make everyone else look bad.

For the record, I'm agnostic bordering on cynicism.

Someone hit the nail in the head, FINALLY!!!.

We all know CCP is, in reality, just an offshoot of the Roman Catholic church.The widespread hate for Amarr and the lack of a proper buff to my Slicer is evidence of this - CCP, or should I say the Roman Catholic church, is trying to portray all brown people as terrorists that steal your gold and set you on fire! Hide yo wives! Hide yo kids! Hide yo husband too, because dem terrorists gonna use you as slaves!

The Gallente are portrayed as party druggies. Those newfangled drunk drivers like to drive supercapitals into stations - this is obviously an attack on my right to drink alcohol and run a spaceship full of hookers into a station full of greedy people! CCP IS TAKING AWAY MY FREEDOM!

The portrayal of the Caldari is an obvious insult to the goals of capitalism. The Caldari look like greedy-ass motherf*ckers - it's like combining North Korea and China with child labor in some African country, like Somalia! And now they produce weapons of mass destruction, so add in Soviet Russia and Iran and maybe even Syria for safe measures! Yes, the Caldari are Satan incarnate, composed of the very worst of North Korea, China, African child labor, Soviet Russia, Iran, and Syria!

But guess what! The insult to freedom doesn't stop there! Look at the way they portray the Minmatar! Honorable people fighting for freedom are made to look like some futile, uncivilized tribal nation that relies on duct-tape for "protection". In short, they want to make you feel like some primitive hobo with a skirt made of rusted iron and a roll of duct tape with the intent to claim freedom! I will not let this infringement of my human rights go unnoticed!

But it doesn't stop there! The Jove are the Roman Catholic Church! They take it upon themselves to protect hisec, the benevolent Concord with a perfect K:D ratio, and "the white man's burden" has been changed to "the Jove man's burden"! LOOK AT THIS! Now the Church is portrayed as some sort of ever-present all-superior organization with all the power, all other races are inferior and hopeless compared to CCP!

The symbol of the cross pre-dates Christianity and was used by the Greeks, the Chaldeans, the Egyptians and the Norse so the mere presence of a cross in the structure or decore of a station does not neccessarily reflect a support of christianity. Not that any of that matters, as one poster already pointed out this is EVE. This is a universe thousands of years removed into the future and while some people may choose to RP their personal RL faiths into their play, it isn't part of accepted lore. Game religion and RL religion don't mix.

Religion, however, has been a major driving force in human existance since the dawn of time for good or ill. So from a lore standpoint, to assume that people would suddenly quit their quest for god(s) after the closing of the EVE gate would be hard to believe. The Amarr apparently created their own mono-theistic religion based very loosely around Catholisism, and from the bits I've been able to gather the Matar tribes worship a pantheon not unlike the Norse gods. The Gallente and Caldari seem to be more of the deiest/agnostic/atheistic variety but since aide from the Amarr, religion lore topics are rather sketchy so its hard to say. And while in RL you may not agree with a particular venue of faith, or any of them, all of them have made contributions to arts and science and their cultural impact on the way we live cannot be denighed. To expect post-apocolyptic EVE to suddenly wipe out what has been one of human-kind's major motivations to innovation or horrorific cruelty so it fits your particular beliefs would be nearly as wrong as posting a sign over the cross in Moclinamaud VII - Federal Defense Union Logistic Support saying "Jesus is the Son of God". Leave the religion(s) of EVE to the vagueness of lore and RP'ing corps and enjoy the game for what it is--the best damn space ship exploderation game ever.

your face tat looks like a cross.
