I am Jesus (simulation)

[Sir Slash]

Glad to hear that, as it should be.  :clap:

I'm having trouble understanding what the purpose of the game is. ....

+1

For the faithful this "simulator" does take something very serious and turns it into something like a game; not in a good way. If I hit the wrong key combos does Jesus sink into the sea? Does not rise until the fifth day?

Plus, depictions of Jesus are always second or third person. I can't see someone who is religious wanting to "be" Jesus. Maybe they would enjoy a game with Jesus as a non player.... a Ben Hur simulator perhaps? Or maybe a game where Jesus is part of a larger idea...didn't AH once publish a game about St. Paul traveling around evangelizing?  That would be of interest possibly.

Real religion rarely makes for a good "game".  Although I must admit wanting to play a good Dante's Inferno RPG...actually, I think that has already been done on the PC.

Drat.  There go my plans for a hex-based WEGO turning-the-other-cheek-and-forgiving-your-opponent's-transgressions wargame.   :-\

I had all my OOBs done up and everything!

[Gusington]

I would buy that. For less than 39.99.

Espousing a religion is essentially attempting to exploit a person's ignorance about the nature of the world in order to manipulate them for your own gain.  And it is the great shame of modern society that people who push religion in that way cannot be contradicted.

That would be an ecumenical matter!

Your statement assumes the religion in question isn't True.  However, that is probably an issue best left for the "Religion, Politics, and Flame Wars" board. :)

Could be worse. There could be an, 'I Am Epstein' game.  :hide:

[Ubercat]

Christianophobia?

Wait, no, that don't real because it's still okay to rag on Christians!

+1.

And I say that as an atheist who was all about ragging on Christianity 14 years ago. They're easy targets, though, as the vast majority won't blow you up for the slightest criticism. If the left were honest about their motives, they'd rag on Islam just as much as Christianity.

Touchy subject no doubt. I'll just add that I want to play as God of the Old Testament so I could smite some people.

'I love the smell of smiting in the morning. Satan don't surf.'   -some hardass

Any religion is a dangerous tool in the wrong hands.

Gotta say though, the current exchanges with the community are sort of gold if not scary already - and the dev is actually answering. Go have a look if you're into controversy, you bunch of sinners.

I have the belief that considering PlayWay is a very well established Polish editor, there was no intent to actually offend people, as controversial as it might seem. But in all honesty, between you and me, if Jesus is/was anything like what has been described to us mere mortals over the centuries, I will venture the guess he has forgiven us already - and the game devs with us.

I stepped out of character a bit there - as you say, probably more of a Dougal/Jack sentiment.

No religions are "true" or,  indeed, anything other than human constructs to erroneously explain the world and/or subjugate other humans.

I'd be interested to hear your evidence to support this proposition over in the "Religion, Politics, and Flame Wars" board.   :)
