This discussion has been calm so far, guys... Please keep it that way, mmmmmkay?
Hardcore, it's perfectly fine for you to ask about things like this, but keep in mind that if you have some ulterior motive for asking- like that you plan to start preaching about hell or who's going there based on beliefs that disagree with a particular reading of Christian mythology, then you'll be crossing a line. I accept that you believe that and maybe even feel strongly about it, but this isn't a religion forum- we're all about games and hardware. If you want to discuss religion there are tons and tons of other sites elsweyhere on the web.
Hopefully I've not offended you with any of the above, but as a very long time forum moderator (I've been on the web since before it had a GUI, back in the old Telnet newsgroups days), I just know that discussions of religion on non-religious sites tend to degrade into attacks on people's beliefs, and we're just not that kind of site. Respect the fact that others might not necessarily believe the way you do, and stick to topic (games and gaming) and you'll be fine. I CAN and WILL nuke any thread that starts to get into dangerous waters, however.
Thanks! :cookiemon
