Everyone gets to do whatever they want by nature within the constraints of reality. I am merely commenting on the logic behind this one specific seeming contradiction. I only care because I became momentarily nauseous. Why? Can't they name a corporation as they want? What's wrong? This is a game, no one is dying, is much more a kind of "sport", where you test your skills, than a "killing simulation". And if you see these games as a killing sim, you'd better stop playing right now. I think you may have missed the OP's point entirely.

What's up with proselytizing murderers? I.e. people who kill and then try to convert others to their religion.
It is a serious quandary. I am an athiest, but I know a lot about several religions, including Christianity.
1. One of the foundational precepts of Christianity is to keep the mind pure. Doing something in your heart/mind is viewed as being the same as actually doing it in reality.
2. Does it help anyone, or show love to anyone? Christ expressly left a message of love with his actions. I cannot envision him playing this game, but I could imagine him socializing with people who do play video games.
3. It is a worldly influence that does not glorify god or promote the values of Christianity.
4. It is a direct simulation of a forbidden behavior. Thou shalt not kill.
Please explain then...

Kudos on the quote-mine 
The OP never said G4C couldn't/shouldn't have their name, just that the name would make no sense if it were sincere.
RIP Stinky Sleeve.
RIP Dust514.
See you on Destiny. PSN: GSDSteVB

Thanks.
That's why I said

OP, you have a very narrow view on the lives of religious people. I would suggest you spend some time with them, not trying to be converted or convert them, but just living with them. Hanging out. Bumping shoulders while at a local coffee shop. Taking a philosophy class at a college. Going to see a movie. normal stuff... with them.
Oh, they're normal people. just like you. just like me. just like everyone. That they try to live their lives to the degree they interpret their OWN religion should not upset you just because you have an opinion on what their religion should be. |

Clones in a game that isnt real =/= Person in real life.
True, quoting our commandments as to say thou shalt not kill is correct, but Game =/= Real Life, defusing the argument already. And its not asif they go around messaging every player in a match trying to convert them to Christianity, do they. Leave them be. This thread is bad taste also as youre criticising peoples beliefs just because they showed them publicly.
If theyre name is causing you a problem, then im afraid you have a problem.
DUDE!!! come to GFC. were actually really good players, just a small group. Or at least join the GamersForChrist chat channel.
