TBH:  I can already see this being shut down by Kryo for being overly religious or discriminatory or blah lah lah sometime soon, so just a note of caution; keep it clean.

Apology accepted Xer07, although not needed . Black hawk dose have a valid point, religion is a personal choice for all and should not disrupt society as a whole..to each his own as the saying goes..

Besides this a forum for a game that has been one of the best so far..so lets get back to that and leave the politicians and over hyped media enterprises to dilute our minds we don't need to do it to each other in our spare time  . Live and let live.

I can't believe these people weren't arrested.  They threatened the lives of Trey and Matt which is ASSAULT which is an arrestable offense.  It doesn't matter if he said it wasn't one afterwards.  Thats like a bankrobber robbing a bank and then afterward say it wasn't a robbery so we let him go.

Is saying "I'm going to kill you" actually assault?

Not as far as I know.

Not that I'm defending them, personally, I o not believe in any type of cencorship whatsoever.  You don't like something, deal with it.  (Though to be air, I'm a borderline anarchist so take what i have to say with both eyes open)

No, it's considered a terrorist threat.

It can be.  The person making the threat would have to be able to carry it out and the person receiving it would have to believe that harm is a an immediate probability.

Of course, spouting off from a distance can't reasonably cause a person to believe that they're in immediate danger, so this case probably wouldn't meet the requirements.  Had the aggressor been in the presence of the victim, it would have almost certainly been an assault.

Lurking in the background here is the cultural belief that deep down everyone knows that all religions are the same. This is a Western presumption of relatively recent vintage. Not everyone accepts that belief, neither here in the Useless Arse of A and certainly not in the rest of the world. Nor will they necessarily do so in the future.

There really is nothing sacred about Western cultural beliefs or opinions. They are, after all, nothing but little electronic patterns swirling in our brains. They have no substantial reality.

Somewhere or another whether it is right or wrong gets pushed out on stage. But right and wrong are also nothing but little electronic patterns swirling in our brains. Different electronic patterns swirl in other people's brains and there is nothing we can do about it.

The Muslim group warned that Trey Parker and Matt Stone would face "violent retribution", and printed the address of their California studio for Muslims to see. Even if they don't do it themselves, they can still arrested for providing the address. I think that falls under the category of "conspiracy to commit murder".

As for the other major discussion, Christianity is definetely not a poster child of good religion. Christians have commited many, many horrible acts, ranging from the Inquisition to stealing the land of American Indians and kidnapping their children to be sent to "Chrisitian Schools", where they were horribly treated. All this in the name of God. Some people also include the Holocaust, but Hitler really wasn't a Christian by the time he was in power. He actually called a "religion of weakness".

Let's sum it up in three words. Organized religion sucks.

Agreed.

Hitler liked Islam for its blind obedience feature.

One of the minds behind the Holocaust was a Muslim friend of Hitler's, the "Grand Mufti" of Jerusalem, uncle and mentor of Yasser "Arafat".

And no, I am not joking.

True.

Ulcered Sphincter of Asserica. That is all.

Huh? South Park is censored, and people are complaining?

Then why did the Catholic church help the nazis escape to south america?

I agree. They were created to use peoples faith and fear in their particular god to give leaders power. Keep the sabbath at home.

I read about that. Not only did Hitler create the Holocaust, he essentially started the Muslim-Jewish conflict. Before WWII, Muslims generally put up with Jews.
