Ok so lets say your dad was a retired soldier and he has done so many great things for our country and alot of people respect him and here comes a guy that wants to create a story on your dad but he never believed in wars and do not like soldiers because he believes wars are not the way to solve problems so he creates a game of your dad and adds and edits things out from the original story and adds things he preferred to make your dad look bad instead of being this hero the game twists the story making him look like a villain yet like some of u said aslong as the game is good its all good but what about those who looked up to him? Does it make it right for him to ruin someones image because of his beliefs? Thats all im saying.
So imagine that you got convicted to death and had your sentence reaffirmed but thousands of people. Then you were whipped and had to carry the device that's going to kill you for miles. Then you got tortured and died on the cross.
And then 2000 years later some person on a website insults you by saying that you can't handle a video game being made about you. That would just be the final insult to me.
All im saying is I dont mind at all if their is a game about Jesus Christ, in fact I would not mind playing a game about him but as a christian I am skeptical about who is creating the game. If anyone has been up to date with your movies, a few bible movies have been created and they turned out quite disappointing and after doing research, it figures the directors were atheist's.
Tell me this, why would an atheist someone who doest not believe in god create a movie about the bible especially when they dont believe in it? Thats why im skeptical.

I wasn't saying im against whoever is creating this game of Jesus Christ, im hoping it ain't created by an atheist because its obvious why I would be skeptical but even so I ain't going to get mad over it.
Do we have to believe in the subject matter to create movies about it? We make movies about trolls, ghosts, nordic, greek and roman mythology all the time, often to great result. Do the directors believe in any of that?
I'm an atheist/agnostic, but I thought The Prince of Egypt was a spectacular, brilliant movie. I've always found the stories of Jesus and Moses to be fascinating, even if I don't believe in them.
It seems completely illogical to me that any myth, saga or story is free for all, until it's the ones you happen to believe in.
Also, of the religious movies that have come out over the last years, isn't really Exodus: Gods and Kings the only one directed by an atheist? (It's the only one I can think of, anyway)
Maybe it would be good for you to have some barriers broken and see how different religions and cultures approach the stories of your religion.
The internet was invented by an Atheist, as were a surprising amount of everyday items we use. Would you stop using them all/claim they were bad once you found their inventors had no religious affiliation?
Mary: Joseph. Joseph: Yeah? Mary: Yeah, um, ya know how we’ve never made love? Joseph: YEAH? Mary: Yeah, um, anyway, last night an angel visited me…and now I’m pregnant. Joseph: Jesus Christ! Mary: Oh, you already know about it.
U atheists are SICK in the head. Im not even Christian but why are you degrading Mary and implying she "made love" with an Angel when shes supposed to be a virgin. Why the insult? Dont you RESPECT anything? Free speech is here to protect us from government tyranny when we speak against Injustice, it doesnt give you the right to Insult, degrade or blasphemy. Ban this idiot
Get over it. I've heard Christians make worse jokes about their own religion and the beliefs of others. The funny thing is what he just wrote is basically how it would have went down, assuming it was true. He just added a little joke at the end which was completely harmless. The fact that you found this just so terribly insulting is a clear indication of your own overly sensitive nature. The biggest insult here is you calling him an idiot. Pot, meet kettle. Why don't you ban yourself from the internet and human contact in general if you can't take it?
"Get over it. I've heard Christians make worse jokes about their own religion and the beliefs of others."
"some" Christians don't equal = 2 Billion Christians around the planet. Get it?
Here in America, we live in a free open society with a very big diverse ethnicity. You are free to practice whatever religion you want, you can even create your own religion. Certain things you can't do.. Defamation, Hate speech, racism, etc. You can criticize me or any religion and we can have intelligent debates about whatever topic... but to Insult and mock, defame..? That's a big NO. It's against the law. If you can't accept this fact then you are not ready for this society.
Nobody is "overly sensitive" about anything, he claimed/joked she had sex with an Angel, that is defamation. Let me make a "joke" about your mother and who she "made love" with and let us see how you feel about it. Would you dare make a joke about jews and the holocaust? OK then..
The fact is, when you can't respect other people's view point and beliefs then you have no place in a free open society. You are INSENSITIVE to other people's feelings, and that makes you a danger and menace to society. You should definitely move to another country if you can't take the equality.
I have actually found myself in a few life threatening situations as well as situations where I thought I might lose a loved one. Never once did I look to a mythical figure for help. I simply hoped that the doctors would be successful or that chance would be in my favor. I imagine it's much the same for people who don't believe in the same beings you do. I somehow doubt a practitioner of Hinduism called out to Jesus for help at any point in their life. Pretty sure it was the same situation for those who believed in the Greek and Egyptian gods. I'm also pretty sure the success rate for their prayers is about the same as for Christians.
Blasphemy!
If its made by an atheist, u know its all bad.
New perk unlocked: walking on water
This one's not going to have a happy ending.
HOLY Sh!rt. I wonder what God thinks of this.
