Oh, you’re a “both sides are the same” person.

Came out in 1982, I was looking for a 1980 game. And boy, is that version notoriously awful!

Genocide is against international law, too.

Here’s an example of traceability. If the god of the bible were real, eternal, unchanging, etc., there would be no historical record of him being just another god in a pantheon until someone decided to make him THE god. This is just one example of many and you can do this with any god in any religion - there’s nothing notably special about Yahwah aside from how popular his worship became.

I asked because it’s especially suspicious if you have been raised from birth to believe in a god, even if it wasn’t a main focus. My intention isn’t to dissuade you from believing - I couldn’t do that even if I wanted to - but just to encourage you to see Christianity objectively, looking at its history and how it compares with other religions. If you choose to have faith regardless, that’s fine, and in fact is stronger than if you never questioned it at all. I just always prefer that people make an informed decision on things.

Certainly. Any candidate that doesn’t have a traceable origin as being created by people would be a good start, which all the religions of the world do.

I’m quite seriously suggesting that the God of the Bible, and specifically the Christian God, is is the most perfect God that could be imagined

Yes, that’s what people of every religion say about their god. I’m guessing your parents are Christian?

That’s a good choice! Probably the most popular one of that year. I never had a 2600 and started with a 5200, so my knowledge of it is lacking.

Gen X version:

(Had to cheat and put an arcade game for 1980, because I’m not aware of any notable console games from that year. In reality the console games from then looked much, much worse than Pac-Man)

“What if you gave them free will AND ALSO gave them the knowledge of the true nature of existence, rather than relying on them figuring everything out via very obviously man-made religions?”

“Naw.”

I’m judging a fictional character based on how he’s characterized by the book he appears in. There may be a higher power, but the god of the Bible certainly ain’t it.

John Calvin approves.

Not just Christians, that’s a common thing with any cult, be it for a person, a country, etc.

Going by the Bible, it’s both. He acted with malice and proved himself to not be omnipotent many times.

Wow, sounds like a cruel deity that’s definitely not worthy of worship.

I think of that comic every time I see a gritty brown game. I don’t see bloom as much any more, though.

I always turn that shit off. Especially bad when it’s a first-person game, as if your eyes were a camera.

Yes, I know. That’s what always happens if you allow hate speech - it takes over and suppresses dissent.
