Sony vs GOD

Well it has been a while, but I decided to dedicate some time to this. I am feeling like being a dick. (Note that this arguement is one-sided. Bitch slap me later if you diagree with my opinions.)

Sony has put images of an English Cathedral in the game "Resistance: Fall of Man" for the PS3. The church has taken offense at the image of Manchester cathedral being used. Well, it is a likeness and not a picture.

Let us visit Sony's defense. It says that the game is not based on reality, the cathedral in the game is contrived by artists and not made by digital reproductions, and the game is for entertainment...thus the game part, I guess.

Don's comments; "Sony is little too nice." The church is not based on reality, it is based on something called FAITH. There is also a saying that you should choose your battles wisely. The fact that the church has an image of not being "up to date" with the rest of the world on several issues has erroded it's power. The fact that there was a little sex scandle involving little kids that blew up in the church's face doesn't help much. Sony could have made a crude but reasonable remark that it never made nor funded a game depicting a young choir boy running to escape various member of the clergy (now that game would have been sacrilegious...but funny as hell...so to say).

The church says that the images of people bringing guns into the church hit a little close to home (Manchester seems to have a gun problem). The church also invites many young people to visit the church each year (most likely to see the beauty and so on of the church), and they feel that having the image of the church in the game has ruined their efforts to show these kids that church is not a place for shootouts. Also, the church is not too happy that the makers of the game did not ask for permission to put the church in the game.

Don's comments: Well, the gun problem is the city's and not the church's (unless it is...). The church could ask its members to not buy the game and boycott Sony. The church could stop acting like an angry child and become leaders in the community by preaching that guns and violence are not good for society (Note; this is for the gun problem in Manchester and the violent games). The church should find better ways to attract young people to the religion. Perhaps...a singing competition game where a young chior boy tries to...impress members of the clergy. They could put messages and biblical learnings in it as well as use it as a way to teach young members religious songs...without parents worrying about their kids getting buggered.

I am sure this will offend, but I am not totally awake yet. I post this not to piss people off. I post this because I haven't posted anything lately and this seemed like a good chance to b me.
