psssst...

it's not a *real* church.
i mean if you're gonna get into this aspect, how about the commandment not to kill, even "virtually?"

the idea is to give the fluff driving mouse weilders and vehicle sissies something to do.

Way better.

Naaa with a bunch of 8 year olds. name one of them "Esther" after my Aunt. She was one of three kids in her class left after a straffing run by P-51s on their way home from school.
Wierd, the one story from her about the war that involved A/C that she told. and she never thought it awful I enjoy WW2 flight sims.

Thank goodness her classmates weren't strafed on their way home from Sunday School.

Seagoon? Have you ever though that perhaps playing the "Sims online" to develop a parish and virtual "flock" may be more inline with your calling than a war game? My point? Only reenforcing what Shane said.

Maybe I am one of the few to agree with Seagoon's opinion. Destroying a garrison would seem much better and much more immersive. To me it is not as much a point of religion, but of general ethics and gaming challenge (it seems kinda weird to have to bomb the civilian buildings every time). It is not really a huge issue the way it is now, but it could be better.

IMHO, it might be much more challenging and interesting if there were fewer building required destroyed to capture the "garrison" and the rest would be civilian buildings, maybe a hospital etc, which would actually give you minus points if you destroy them

maybe it would help if you simply didn't consider it a "church" but merely a funny looking toolshed full of hoes and philip screwdrivers.

Seagoon is on to something. Swastikas are verboten, but bombing churches is okay.

hmmm

How many times have you heard.."the church is still up" right before a capture?
A lot of "someones" seem to have a problem with bombing the virtual church.
It is the last building to go in a lot of instances I`ve noticed.

Is it denominational?

If not then pretend it's sheltering pedophilic ministers and priests, fleeing SS officers and resurrected agents of the Inquisition!

Jackal,
I think it is because those 2 churches in towns are so small, almost like they were of different scale than other buildings. They are not so easy to spot and/or hit.

How many Muslims, Jews, Buddhists and Hindu's have arrived at your door and decided that you needed to hear about their version fo the God person on Saturday afternoon when all the sane people are in a horizontal postion on their sofa's watching sports?

Or decided that it's time for a "(Insert Religious Choice Here)" forum on a BBS catering to a WW2 flight simulation?

Amazing how worked up you folks can get telling someone else how wrong they are.

And after I had gotten the impression that only Christians did that sort of thing....

Honestly, I dont see any problem with the little church buildings -- even as a christian myself, blowing them up never struck me one way or another. But, it bugged Seagoon, and he said something about it. The community at large doesnt share his concern.

Is there anything more to say? Or are some jsut enjoying the opportunity to stick it to seagoon?
