I hope there won't be an Easter event. TBH I get tired of events that celebrate 'Christian" holidays. Keep Religious events out of the game.

That's rather pig-headed. Most holidays are now so commercialised that people often forget all about the religious aspects. That's a rather ignorant statement though...

Really? It doesn't matter how 'commercialized' they are, the fact is, they are still based on and biased towards Christianity. I'm not Christian, I don't appreciate being subjected to having that religions holidays shoved down my throat year after year after year.

How would you feel if I shoved down your throat year after year Buddhist holidays? Or Taoist holidays? or Muslim holidays? And there was no escape for you from them? How would saying you get tired of celebrating that ****, be pigheaded then?

yeah, didn't think so. You wouldn't like it at all either.

No one is forcing you to celebrate or believe anything. Go off and gripe about it in your little corner if you like. I personally am agnostic so sure it's not so great to have these the religious aspect thrown at you but for crying out loud live a little. Either way it's these holidays aren't going to go away. Too many people believe in them, and they are huge money makers for greedy companies.

Heck with Easter you've got the bunnies and the eggs anymore. How the heck is that so religious? Unless you go to a church or something it's not likely for people to go on about religion. You don't have to look into the religious content at all. Lighten up, let people have fun on these holidays.

Oh and if there's one thing I can't stand it's when people assume what you are thinking. No, I wouldn't be bothered at all by any Buddhist, Muslim, ect holidays or listening to what they believe in. After all no one is forcing me to celebrate.

It's not being forced to celebrate etc. It's having it constantly thrown in your face that I have issues with. I have always felt (for myself anyway) that religion is personal, and private. It shouldn't be flouted and flaunted about.

I also know that it's everywhere. You can't walk down any street in mainstream America w/o seeing 'something' be it a church, or a cross, or what have you that shoves religion in your face.

That is why I don't think that events that are triggered by religious or spiritual holidays should be in a game. I also know that few if any will agree with me on my feelings, but thats ok, I am entitled to have and voice them. Don't particularly give a rats **** if anybody doesn't like them either.

I don't like Christians. I don't like their Religion. And I sure as hell don't like having it shoved in my face every time I turn around.

Well if it's wrong for religions to preach and reach people then people who party, sleep around, do drugs, live a negative lifestyle etc. need to stop too. You don't like christians and their religion well I don't like gangster rappers, people who go to clubs to get sex, Angelina Jolie promoting bisexuality. My list is big so I'll stop there. Now bring on the egg hunt!

Well, if your tired of seeing it everywhere, move! Nobody is forcing you to stay in America. It's a free country and like u say, your entitled to voice your opinion, people are entitled to show their religion.

Yup. People are allowed to express their religions in this country, sure are, as long as it's Christian. Everybody else has to be careful lest they be prosecuted by their neighbors for it.

I won't talk about my 4 dogs getting poisoned by my neighbors because I wasn't christian, or a cross being burned on my front lawn, or my tires being slashed and the windows being broken out of my car or the local garbage company refusing to pick up my trash even though I paid for the service.

We won't talk about my electricity being randomly disconnected and my water getting shut off even though the bills were paid. Nope, won't talk about that at all. We also won't mention that it was the local Sheriff doing most of the vandalism or organizing it.

We won't talk about my alter being desecrated, or my religious space being destroyed, just because I wasn't a christian.

No, we sure won't do that, even though every last thing was done under the guise of "driving that pagan sinner out of our town" by the Good and Holy Christians of Marion South Carolina.

You Christians are sure as hell vocal about keeping your rights to spew your garbage onto everyone else, but.. god forbid someone doesn't want it.. why, it's your fricking right to shove it down everyone elses throat whether they want it or not. And if they don't want it, why.. you'll just burn them out.

You know what I say? Shove it up your fricking asses. Thats what I say. Keep your fricking religion to yourselves and stop shoving it down everyone elses throats.

People are entitled to their opinions sure,but you go beyond that...sheesh its like you're going through an extreme midlife crisis,seriously i don't think anyone cares about every horrible little thing that has happened to you in your life,its a game where people normally have fun but you just like to go around depressing everyone with the whole oh woe is me routine and hell with everyone else...go down to your local pharmacist and grab some of those happy pills because you sure as hell need them,and a good kick up the **** wouldn't do you no harm.

And yes,i don't have to read your posts,and yes i will no longer read them :P

What about Christmas????
Quite a lot of holidays are Christian. Being one myself, I am offended.

You're offended coz you're a christian?
What about all the atheists, muslims, jews, etc. that have to live with your celebrations, preaching and propaganda everyday?
There was a HUGE christian protest because some public bus had an atheist advertisement, imagine if all non-christians were like that.

I couldn't be an atheiest. I'd miss the eggs at easter and presents at christmas hehe. Besides I'd have to get the atheiest clothes, atheiest hairstyle, atheiest lifestyle. Too much work!

Most if not all christian celebrations are actually pagan you kno

I kinda understand the spirit of the discussion, but it's definitely taken more of an off-topic tone.

Being an Atheist in the south, I don't fit in too well, but better than I thought I would. At my first school, EVERYBODY was Christian. None of my friends were Atheist, none of the teachers, the superiors, NOBODY but me. I was constantly called a freak for not believing in God. (I capitalize it because I still respect your beliefs, not because I want to.) I got in a few fights over it, when I didn't do anything, they just came up to me and started throwing fists. I got in trouble for it. The principal said I 'provoked' them. I did no such thing.
I forbid myself to voice my opinion, and because of that, I'm a quiet one. The ridicule that some people can do over religion can change lives. If I hadn't moved at the age of 13, I think I would just be alone. Luckily, even though I moved further south, I suddenly fit in. I found a group of gamers (ohay) and learned ALL of them were Atheist. I later found out my brother and his friend were also Atheist. I still get ridiculed about it, but hey, it's a lot better than before. I still think people are good at the heart, and they don't mean (mostly) what they do physically. I don't care about Christians, Muslims, Jews, I don't care about religion, but apparantly they do, so I just stray away from them and stay in my little group. I don't speak against God in public, as that would be a fairly bad idea.
When people start going into religious talks, I just tune out and nod when they look at me. My whole family are religion freaks except my brother and I, and my grandfather is even a preacher. I don't mind saying grace or praying, it's what makes them happy so I do it. They don't know I'm Atheist just yet, but one day...
