[Great Unclean One: VK]

Tell me again, why do some christians hate YGO? And anime and other things otakus like? Like, what's so wrong with that?

I am a christian and I bear no hatred towards animes :/

 

Also, Yugioh contains subliminal messages, along with other animes. :P At least I think.

In the first season of Pokemon, it referenced the Bible, with Brock talking about how Noah built an Ark to survive a flood.

[BulletMan]

I'm Christian too. I like YGO and PKM. But what I don't like is that Konami changed the art in America, from the ones in Japan. :/

[Great Unclean One: VK]

I agree with you there XL, damn soccer moms. Of course, I am speaking from a atheist point of view.

[Silas Angel]

It's the Bible Belt =/ I can understand their hatred, but it's absolutely ignorant.

[Silent Omega]

Maybe this will explain most of it;

 

[Silas Angel]

Actually, after being pretty much hunted down by local Christians for playing the game, I've found that they assume it's very "demonic, materialistic, and based around satanic precepts like the tarot cards!" =/

[BulletMan]

NO! NOT THAT ONE!! MY EYEZ!!!

 

But I meant, most of them. The ones with stuff with that I think goes for other religions to even atheists too. >___>

 

Oh, and look up Foolish Burial, both Art Works.

Tarot cards are the sheet. Clearly these people need to be hunted and shot down.

You know, one of my friend had to burn her yugioh cards when a priest found her playing with them :/

I don't get why it is hated by Christians.

 

Develop a sense of separation between what you worship and what you come across every day... If you don't think figures in your religion are like that, don't worry about what a card says about it.

One of my friends advised me to burn/throw away/rip up my cards after finding out "their evil origin" from her brother who did the same to his =/ So I studied and found that the only truly evil thing about the game is its materialistic nature which can easily be solved.

Not to turn in into more of a religion thread than it already is, but in a real Christian's life, there is no separation.

 

@bolded: What?

[~Emo~]

Because Catholic people and Christian people hate:

 

Magic

Demons

Dragons

Zombies

Dark Attribute

The whole "Battle phase" concept.

 

and others i am to lazy to list.

[έκλειψη]

@ '@bolded: What?'

 

I'm saying that, for example, someone makes Jesus a Level 1 monster with 0 ATK and DEF and no effect. Too many people would jump onto that, while others wouldn't care.

 

I have no standpoint on religion, so....

 

But some people need to learn that people have opinions and a right to state them. If you don't agree, don't be bothered; It's a picture.

[Tentacruel]

Christians hate it because it is popular. And Asian.

O Rly? I would have ran away instead of burning my yugioh cards. After kicking the priest in the nuts shin of course.

Right .-. Kick a priest in the shin just for a children's card game's cards.

Well, for a Christian, it's more than just a picture. It's a bunch of wicked text grabbing and controlling the minds of the blind.

 

Also, if this game or any game got to the point of using "Jesus" as a card, I'd burn them up too =/ But this game is alright, it only has a vague allusion to him

[Raelen]

I think the reason a few Christians hate YGO, is because of the Egyptian god cards. YGO does have some pagan ideas.

[SmallieBigs]

Because they're Christian Extremists that take everything too seriously, personally my Granparents were Christian they gave me a whole deck of yugioh cards. The Egyptian Gods and The Creator are some of the reasons those idiots of idi, I mean Christians are idiots and hate Yugioh. It is even more because of the "Demons" and the spirit monsters and the Dragons, they just have to learn how to cope with the fact they cannot always win. Besides I'm an Athiest/Agnostic person or just don't like to think about it.

Yeah, your friend is such a gullible idiot.
