Church Bombings...

[lasersailor184]

How many is that.  12 people who didn't even get the humor in it Seagoon?

[Chairboy]

Laser...  umm...  Of all the things I've seen Seagoon joke about, religion doesn't seem to be one of the things about which he casually jests.  I think that perhaps you do him a disservice by making light of his closely held beliefs.  

If I'm wrong, so it goes, but this doesn't quack like a joke, so show some respect please.  I may not agree with him on matters religion, but I'll not look down my nose at his beliefs.

OMG!     The CHURCH!

Only a religious man would moan the loss of a building amid the slaughter of people.

War is war.

[storch]

I routinely call out for the destruction of the mosque,  they are all mosques in my eyes.  anyone who has played while I'm on knows this.

I want little schools to bomb!!

I want little kids to fly up in the air in all directions when you drop a pair of eggs on the day care center!


I want a dog pound that when you bomb it little cats and dogs go flying!

perhaps this is a little ironic coming from a man of the cloth who plays a game; the object of which is to virtually kill opponents as quickly as possible, or destroy their village?

There, I've finally said it.

A lot of churches were destroyed in WWII. B-17s,Lancasters,B25's etc etc didnt pick and choose which buildings were gonna get blown up when they leveled a city. They just dropped the bombs.
Alot of churches were used as defencive positions in WWII which made them legitimate targets There is one in Italy in particular that comes to mind.

If we were destroying churches,mosques or synagogues BECAUSE they were regilious places I would agree with your point.

But we're not. Its just another building.
Even in RL too much is made of such places. Unless it has some historical significance they are just another building.

As a man of the cloth. do you really need that building to do your work? No. Churches are just a conviniant place for people to gather. You could do your work almost anywhere. Someones basement, or backyard. or in a park on an alter that truely is of "unworked stone"

I posed that very question some time back. And Seagoon. much to his credit gave a rather outstanding responce to it.
Perhaps he should revisit that responce. And see how it applies here.

The day we make this game "politically correct", I'm out

I liked the old map/takeover style better, fwiw

[Hawklore]

Good ****ing grief...

That is sad..

The loss of a church for the betterment of the world...

I'd destroy every church for peace on earth.

The Abbey of Monte Cassino? The German FJ's only occupied the abbey (or ruins thereof) after the allies had flattened it. Of course the allies didn't know the Germans were honoring the sanctity of the place when they destroyed it.

Germans were known to use the steeples for sniper and artillary positions.

So was everyone else.

I'm pretty sure the reason for the inclusion of the church as a target is because HT hates the baby jesus, and wants to see the little guy cry.  Big bully!
