I'm going to do the smart thing here and disengage. This isn't a hill I paticularly care to die on.

I'm positive it's a poorly-drawn cock and balls or expertly-drawn broken cock and balls. With balls in the centre.
It's obviously 2 chickens locked in the most intense thumb-wrestling match of all time.

So, Christian Gaming Communities are a thing. I'd never really considered the two to be related but there you go. It's a very strange partnership of hobbies (maybe not the right word, but I can't think of one that covers both things. I think that's a testament to how they aren't two particularly related... things.).

I've known about that sort of thing for a while. I will never forget the time I began encountering evangelists while playing online games. Yes, they were trying to convert people.

I think the reason it seems a little odd to you is that you're thinking of them on the same level. They aren't both hobbies, that's why it's hard to think of a word that covers both of them.
Christianity is a religion, gaming is a hobby. There's a pretty big difference. Maybe not to nonreligious people, but there is a difference.

Oh, I understand that, that's part of the deal. They're on different levels of what-people-do that it seems kind of shoehorned in to make a community in common.

Communities don't need to be centered around something... logical? I guess? They're based around common attributes or traits of their members, even if they seem rather arbitrarily shoved together.


When I played World of Warcraft I saw a few obviously Christian guilds. They weren't snobby or holier than thou type things, as far as I could tell, but just groups of people with two common interests: wow and religion.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

We still have candy for the purpose of giving it away to kids. I'm surprised we didn't eat them all yet.

Helping a friend with physics homework.


I got a question about Big Bertha (the cannon) once on physics homework. All the numbers being random, I got a WWI cannon apparently capable of firing a shot around the Earth several times. Realizing how ridiculously high the number was, I looked up the real one and it was something like 12km.

I was gonna say, if we had cannons like that we'd never have developed missiles :P

Missiles also have a guidance system. Ballistics are considerably more difficult over such long distances.

If DEFCON has taught me anything, it's that you can solve any problem with intercontinental weapons by firing more of them at once.

I once met a very, very Christian gamer who asked me if he could pray for me after we had a long conversation. I think we were playing Zombie Master.

Total Annihilation has taught me that we'll eventually be able to build cannons that launch projectiles across the world with near-pinpoint accuracy (also named Big Bertha). What am I going to believe, the video game I played for countless hours as a child or some random guy on the internet?
