Christian guild on Guild Wars?

While I was working through the beginning of factions with a character I noticed that someone was advertising for a christian guild. That struck me as kind of wrong. Due to the setting and type of game Guild Wars is, I do not think that there is a place in it for Christianity. Don't get me wrong, I am a Christian myself, I just believe that there is a time and a place to express those beliefs and this is not it.

Some ppl like to get together in a game with similar "values" to themselves and such, there are all girl guilds, all monk guilds..

Its nothing really to do about expressing their beliefs. As Stemnin said, its more to do with playing with a party of like minded people. I can potentially see a lot less trash talk with an ulti-christian guild.. or I could be wrong and theres no difference XD
But yeah, nothing wrong with people of the same faith playing together. Its not like their planning guild bible bashing runs through Kanieng Central or anything

This is foolish, people the join a guild because they share some kind of common intrest is fine.When I start playing GW I remember one of the guilds I was apart of was very perverted and as soon as my female character log on and was in the guild hall she was getting the warrior hump, and ppl would always say disgusting things.
Maybe ppl that join a guild advertising that it is christian hope to avoid such things. All in all I think any guild that advertises certain themes are ok EXCEPT for guilds that would premote ideas that have little redemming social value, but large consequences, I.E guilds that advertise defimation,obscenity, guild such as these should not be allowed.

I don't see a problem with it. As long as they don't "prech" to others of other faiths there shouldn't be any conflicts. I mean arn't all Guild "Suppose" to be players who share some type of quality or ideal? I mena sure you have the member hungry ones but arn't the bets guilds the ones hwo share an ideal.

If you take it that way, guilds are a "private" thing - what's wrong with obscenity then (if the officers let the members they recruit know what they can expect from the guild at the beginning)? I mean, if the players are obscene in the GH or use obscene words/comments in the guild chat but not in public, it should be OK too. If it's not then there are just as many reason to critisize religious/political/whatever guilds.

Exactly right. Would you have objected if it had been an aethist guild? I am so surprised that anyone should think there should not be christian guilds

I don't mind those guilds at all. I understand the concept and think it's cool that they make it though. It's pretty fun for those who want to be surrounded by people they feel a connection with; it's easier to have a friendly atmosphere to evolve through the game than constantly bickering about "you don't like my faith" or whatever.

However, I like differences; I'm a gay man, but I don't want to join an all-gay guild, just like I don't want to join an all-necro guild 'cause I'm a necro player. I have enough points in common with my guild, yet I can be unique in it .

But that's just my point of view .

Last i had read the ToSA (Terms of Service Agreement), guild's based off of religion aren't allowed in the game, but they might have changed it.

why does it really matter if they are playing together theres nothing wrong about it

i mean you got guilds with frieds that share a common interest. Religion is an important thing to some people me on the other hand...

<==Atheist...

Considering how selctively ANET enforces its own rules, it's not like it really matters.

As this thread has been ressurected...

So apparently there's nothing against religious guilds, provided they do not reject other religions, don't espouse homophobic philosophies, etc.

I was in a Christian Alliance for a while and I don't see where the ToSA or EULA applies really.

There is a fundamental difference between anti-religious and pro-christian; a line too many people are trying to blur imo.

Please, keep religion away from games. They have messed up the world enough, don't start messing with the last human bastion....

Hmm.

Hey man, if someone wants to play a recently converted Necromancer, more power to them! I've never liked being the minority so i'll stick to my characters polytheistic roots; gives my Ritualist one last thing to explain to her parents in Cantha.

So what about the christian group that always wins in HoH's. It's name is an advertisement for a religious product ( the bible on DvD or something along those lines.) That's in-game advertisement for a product.

I can turn the channel when that crap comes on t.v., or close the door in their face when they show up at my doorstep. However you're kinda forced to see it for a few seconds in chat.

christian guilds are a great idea its a good way to find decent people in guild wars because most players wanting to join a christian guild won't steal scam etc... and once again guilds are for like minded people

and to Yanman.be religion has not messed the world up people who DO NOT UNDERSTAND religion mess the world up ex Osama Bin Laden, and Pope Urban II who was the leader of my religion for a period of time!

<== do i really have to say it's all in the name catholic =)

Jaxtell, how do you not understand how there is a place in guild wars for christianity? The reason for guilds and alliances are to bind people with similar interests foremostly. Personally I don't see a problem with it, just hop there aren't any crusades in guild wars

I've been in quite a few diverse guilds in Guild Wars.

I can tell you that sex/race/belief etc don't make a difference as to who a person is.

The great thing about guild wars is that it doesn't matter who you are on the outside world just how you play the game.

But ya if someone wants to set up a christian guild I say let em.
