Have your religious beliefs ever conflicted with your gaming?

Perhaps you could do with a bit of history study. Britain didn't stick its nose into India's business until the imperial age (16th century, as far as getting heavily involved in India via the EIC). It wasn't the Catholic church who was using swastikas; it was the Nestorians (Persian Christians). In fact, some scholars believe that it wasn't the Christians who took the swastika from the Buddhists (or Hindus), but the other way around. The Buddhists took it from the Nestorians. Don't look west for the origins if the swastika... look east, to Persia or India.

Ahha, didn't know when about the interactions between the two started. Tar. And yeah, I know the origin of the symbol was from the East. That much is obvious.

Learn about the "East India Company."

"Narrow is the path that leads to life, but wide is the road that leads to destruction and there are many who go in by it" (from memory - the gospels).

Do you suppose you can go through life without discerning good from bad? That's easy. Do you think you can just do what is easy in life? You will find yourself mistaken on Judgement Day (see the Word of God above again for clarification of what I mean).

Either you don't understand what we are saying, or you're refusing to even think about it for a moment.

As long as our relationships with Christ are headed in the right direction, as long as our focus is on him, as long as we follow HIS guidance rather than the influences of the world, then MAN MADE symbols like the Pentagram mean nothing to us and have no power over us. There's no reason to avoid them as if they're going to burn our eyes out or something, because they are nothing more than an arrangement of lines drawn BY MAN. God holds infinite power over man, and since I follow him, I do not fear MAN-MADE symbols.

I don't know how much clearer I can be.

Ok...

I'm being really honest here, it's difficult to read what you write because you have huge "run-on" sentences. Try just writing short sentences more often, that might help. This site also has a built-in spell checker. Just right-click on a word with a red underline! Unfortunately, it's always the American spellings... but it's better than nothing!

I'm not trying to be mean, I'm really trying to help!

It's okay but when im typing stuff things I dont have red lines under them, but i'll look out for them when I do make a mistake. Thanks

So THAT's how I can make my claims sound much simpler. Well done! =)

Firefox 2.0 comes with a spellcheck for textboxes in the browser. Might want to check it out.

Ahhhhhh, so maybe that's why she doesn't see any red lines. They are so normal for me, since I've been using Firefox for years now. I don't think I've even opened Internet Explorer is years.

Firefox is soooo much nicer.

I did have Firefox but I seriously needed to take some stuff off my laptop to make space there was an update and it would not do it, but my external has had some issues so I am waiting to get my dads external and I will go back to Firefox once everything is off my laptop

Well, since we are talking about Firefox, how can I get my threads with recent activity to show up on my control panel. It just says "No subscribed threads..." but I can open IE and go to my control panel and they are there. That's the only issue I'm having with Firefox right now. I love the adblock plugin as well as the spell checker.
