Religion, Homosexuality, the Usual in General

Even being the straight Christian that I am I can't say that I am positive that God has condemned homosexuality. I don't think it is moral, from what I've read in the Bible and deduced myself, but I won't impose that opinion on others. I assume that when people become (are born?) gay that it is simply another challenge for them in life to overcome such a thing and to not indulge themselves in homosexual relationships. When one is born a cripple, or born with a mental retardation, it is something they will have to deal with. But God understands what you have been given to work with, and he'll judge what you make by that; I'm sure God doesn't expect a retarded person to be as moral as a normal person, or perhaps not even for them to accept Christ (because maybe they can't.) Being homosexual isn't the sin; it's having sexual relations with one of the same sex that is (in my opinion.)

Forgive me if what I just said is jumbled or unclear. I'm trying to cram too many thoughts into too few sentences here.

Remember that, like I said, nobody should judge Christianity by its adherents or churches. If you judged Christianity by me you'd think that it was a stupid and horrible religion, mostly because I'm not strong-willed enough to resist sinning and because I'm not literate enough to defend against most of the points everyone's making. But try and find a clear contradiction in the Bible, and you'd be up for a challenge. Just don't expect me to be able to prove Christianity, cause I'm just a dumb human.

[QUOTE]If people truly believe that Christianity is so inherently intolerant, that it forces them to take on hateful/irrational points of view, then why on earth do they want to be christians in the first place? Plenty of other gods out there.
People choose Christianity because they find it to be true, not because they like it. There are plenty of other easier religions out there. The fact that they are easier does not make them correct.

Also, I want to point out that the whole code about eating certain animals was probably there to keep everyone safe -- they had no knowledge of germs and whatnot back in the day. Basically, I'm somewhat untrusting of the Old Testament, because, well, it's old. Should you read the Gospels you'd find what Christianity's all about, though it may not cover everything about Christianity.

This is just an unrelated note, but I thought I should point out that the "_" in your dialogue is placed before the guy says "Of course I'll come!"

I'd say that in general Christians disapprove of homosexuality. Being a Christian myself, I disapprove, but I don't impose my opinion on others. If I were to vote on the gay marriage issue, I would probably abstain.

As a friend of mine once put it, "Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve."

Keep in mind, though, that there are tons of branches of Christianity and that every church has its own beliefs. There are some churches where followers make God out to be female. There are others where members worship preserved body parts of saints. There are extremes for every branch and religion, so be sure not to judge the religion or denomination itself by that.

Using the Arcane Rod I managed to summon a bunch of "Altered Giants." Unfortunately they were also decapitated: only the bottom half of them was displayed. I think there's a bug for summoning double-sheet monsters.

I believe there's a section on it in both the Docs and the Appendices. The Appendices should be more useful, though.

Before you enter the Demon Golem room chuck something at the passive golems. You can take out 5 of them this way, and none of them will attack you but the one you're hitting at the time. Just be sure to stand behind the doorway and to not go through.

I'm unsure of anything but the wheels, but the wheel near the commander opens a gate to a room by the entrance. This room has another wheel in it which opens the gates that allow you to exit the area.

Say you had a hut with a portal in it that was supposed to take you to another hut miles away. You use change_outdoor_location() and then you use another call to teleport the party into the other hut (which will assumably be another town.) When the party exits the second town, you will arrive at the position you specified in change_outdoor_location.

(I think.)

If you make that 3D editor thing then I will... um... do something really nice for you. Like give you a dime or something.

That would be unbelievably awesome and useful (not the dime, the 3D editor.)

You should probably be more specific in what you're having trouble with. If you are having trouble with the whole outdoor scripting thing, then you'd probably better reread that section of the Docs.
