What's up with proselytizing murderers? I.e. people who kill and then try to convert others to their religion.
Dude chill they are just a group of Christian gamers, or so I was told a while back, I see no reason why this section of the community deserves your derisive comments.
I do not think they are anything more than a community for those who already share beliefs. I also see no reason that anyone looking for religion or for those who wish to spread their religion should not group up for some enjoyable playing of video games.
Video games are a media form like any other despite what most people think, as such it can be used like any other media form for the same purposes. Who they are or what they do is purely up to them.

Also, last I checked, there's no preaching in Dust outside of rp-ers who are trying to convince everyone that the Amarr Empire is the greatest. Even then, they're just rp-ing and have no intention of making you convert.
Everyone likes video games. religious and atheist people alike.
No I expect you to convert

They were fun. we played some games, watched some Amarr Vegie Tales, ate cookies. I usually sat in the back whispering with friends though, so I never learned much about the Emperor. (- . - )
Oh well just remember we have you cookies and probably took you to laser tag half a dozen times.
When the time comes you will know what to do.

But that's just my point of view, from what I've read and from my experience. It would be a much more complicated philosophical discussion... You know Jesus said slaves should obey their masters right? What was the context? It is entirely sensible that slaves should obey their masters; not doing so has historically led to a rapid beating. Advocating that slaves should obey their masters =/= advocating slavery, necessarily. But also context, please. How about telling people not to keep slaves? Surely that would be higher on the list of priorities than giving said slaves advice on how to avoid a beating.
Well the ideal that slavery is wrong is only a social construct..... slavery in antiquity was both simply a form of labour and also in some cases a supplication to a patron so as to provide the slave with the means to survive and live in a reasonable comfort rather than waste away and die in the streets.
