Servants o the Most High - Christian-based guild - My Comments

Well this is interesting. I just found this thread in the Boulderfist forums and to say the least it has grabbed my interest. Now I wouldn't mind being a part of this guild myself but I have still yet to get a gamecard (and a job to boot).

Here is the post that started it all.

REROLL IN ALEXTRASZA REALM (PvE) AND BE A PART OF A CHRISTIAN THEMED GUILD!

If you are looking for a fun, clean, family safe environment this guild is for you. You are not required to be a Christian to join. All are welcome! See our policy and purpose below.

We now have 25+ members and are continually growing. We also have a website http://servantsothemosthigh.guildportal.com. We are currently seeking members of all experience.

We are looking for more active players, but casual players are welcome, too.

Objectives are:
1. To provide a friendly atmosphere for Players of WoW.
2. Help each other develop toward end-game content.
3. Assist each other with normal PvE game play.


This can be accomplished by:
1. Being friendly.
2. Sharing and passing on equipment.
3. Assisting players with quests and instances when available.

Guild Policy:
1. Show respect to all members of the guild.
2. Use good judgment and show respect to all players outside of the guild, as you are not only representing yourself, but the guild as a whole, along with the general Christian community as well. Be responsible.
3. No profanity or jokes of sexual nature (no profane abbreviations either).
4. No inappropriate names.
5. No debates in guild chat. If anything such as this may happen, try forming a party and discuss the issue there.

Okay. Here are my responses to the following people:

Rolli: STFU or GTFO. Freedom of religion (which Christianity ISN'T btw) obviously does not register with you, cuz you seem to want to make fun of us Christians who don't follow the direction of those fundamentalist Christians you've probably based your entire view on Christianity on.

Oxus: There's nothing in the Bible that says we can't do things for fun, like playing WoW. A Christian's life is NOT just about charity and giving to others. You're an idiot as well if you're gonna support having these guys get ganked purely cuz of this.

Gruber: Christianity isn't a religion. Only ignorant people call it that. And while you are right about innocent people being killed in the name of 'religion', these killings were ALL COMMITTED BY EXTREME FUNDAMENTALISTS AND PEOPLE WHO TOOK THEIR BELIEFS AND INTOLERANCES TOO FAR. Hell, girls thought to be witches back in the Middle Ages were burned at the stake by fundamentalists.

Angrybovine: The fact that you pointed out that " Discussing religion is a violation of the terms of service." kind of suggests to me you don't like it when you see Christianity being discussed,
you get uncomfortable or you just outright hate Christianity. Normally people couldn't give a crap about it being discussed. In other words you are implying your intolerance.

Thetickler: I'm sure that if the guild is comprised of people who play characters who emulate and use virtual magic and go around killing NPCs and perhaps other players occasionally, they'll more than likely allow Warlocks. They seem to understand it's all fictional. :?

Exhumed: Yeah I would probably agree with you on that one... except that they are opting for a FAMILY-FRIENDLY guild. And we all know it's highly unpleasant to hear little kids swearing their mouthes off all around you.

Okay now that that's done, I wish to address Meshech and his prospective guild of fellow Christians.

Meshech: I have no real gripe with your policies. Not even the policy regarding profanity. After all, you ARE opting for a FAMILY-FRIENDLY guild, and just in case your kids are watching you play, you'd be worried that they might read certain words in the chat log - in which case the profanity filter (which I've turned OFF) works wonders.

And that's my $0.02.
