The point of a public beta is that, all the serious bugs have been
worked out, so it basically works, and it's time to widen the range of
testers to catch all the smaller bugs.

STOP BITCHING IT'S A NEW VERSION, A NEW *BETA* VERSION.

Maybe instead of bitching to each other you could try emailing AWI about
making the features you don't like optional. How do you even know that
they're *not* planning to do that?

Yes I think many people get confused with Christianity calling Wicca
devil worship. It has to be explained carefully it seems...

Wiccans do not believe in the devil. And this is not what Christianity
is trying to say when it calls Wicca devil worship! And neither should
it be taken in a condemning context. Look at it from the point of view
of the Cristian belief for a second. Since Christianity says wicca's
gods are false, then worshipping one of Wicca's gods is worshipping the
devil - from the Christian point of view.

Now anyone who tries to call Wiccans evil because of this is wrong. From
Christianity's point of view, Wiccans are *misled* and are actually
worshipping the devil, albeit with the best of intentions. A lot of
people, Christians and Wiccans, twist this round the wrong way ("Wiccans
are evil!" "Christians are persecuting us!") which can only be harmful.

At our Christian youth group we were taught about Wicca. We were *not*
told that it is evil. We were told about the Christian point of view -
that Wicca's gods must be false. We were also told about how Lucifer
(the devil) used to be the angel of light - and thus he can create
pretty lightshows and make himself seem like a god. We were told of
ex-Wiccans now Christians who had listened to the Christian point of
view and thought about it seriously. And the goal was not to tell us
that Wicca is evil, but to tell us the REAL Christian belief, that
Wiccans have been misled by Lucifer.

So sweets, from your "Kind of like what your Jesus was talking about,
isn't it?" you obviously seem very hurt. I just want to set the record
straight about what Christianity is supposed to be saying. "Devil
worship" should not be used to say that Wicca is evil, and people that
persecute ANY religion are wrong in doing so. Christianity says that
Wiccans are being misled by Lucifer, and it does not, and should not,
say any more than that.

It also annoys me when I see the argument that "Wiccans do not believe
in the devil therefore calling Wicca devil worship cannot be true", for
one of two reasons. Either a Wiccan has not properly examined the
Christian point of view, or a Christian has not properly studied the
Christian point of view.

The Lady, while you have the best of intentions I have to say this is
very unrealistic of you.

The Bible is often interpreted as "Christianity good, everything else
bad" and many people hold and represent this view.

However, people aren't exactly going to turn round and start praising
God on AW. God/alcohol does not equate to good/bad in the real world.

In simple words, it's pointless trying to use a Bible verse like this
one on non-Christians. They do not see God as the automatic good.

If in your view people who aren't praising the Lord are evil then please
never talk to me again.

Yes I understand sweets, and it wasn't just to you it was to everyone.
These thoughts have been swirling around in my head for a while.
Christianity only calls Wicca devil worship because it has to explain
supernatural things that aren't down to God to be down to the devil.
People interpret this as Wiccans automatically having to be evil, which
is of course, wrong. It's just a different belief system, and I would
guess (correct me if I'm wrong though) that Wiccans would have some way
of explaining the origin of Christian beliefs.

The history of it all and what religion is the right one is not what I
was discussing. Yes it was ignorance of the Bible's true message that
led to witch hunts. I do not even have to say it was ignorance of the
Wiccan religion - it was ignorance of the Bible's true message, which is
worse.

The thing is, Christianity does call peaceful Wiccans devil worshippers,
because it cannot logically call them anything else. They are
worshipping a supernatural force that is not the Christian God... so in
the Christian belief they can only be worshipping Lucifer. But as I
said, that doesn't make Wiccans evil, but misguided by evil forces.

So don't think of Christians who persecute Wiccans as ignoarant of
Wicca. Think of them as ignorant of Christianity. Because the most
they're supposed to do is spread the Christian message.

they should decide what rights their fans have.

[View Quote] Okay, so AWI have the statistics.

But statistics are only good if you actually run the experiment. AWI
haven't tried allowing tourist building in AlphaWorld under the new
regimen of tourists only being able to build in some world. Hence, they
do not have the adequate statisticts to make a decision based on them,
so your point is invalid.

I know I registered BECAUSE of a joint tourist-citizen town I joined.

Kids with parents who *can* afford a cit and may just use money (instead
of ritalin) to keep them quiet?

Feb 25, 2004, 8:47pm

It would be near impossible for people to not be able to abuse the
system. All in all it would probably end up being abused more than
encouraging people to buy cits.

A really great idea if it would work, but it's just not technically
possible without some way to get around it. The only way is for people
to provide their credit card details, but even then they can get a new
credit card. And AWI already do the credit card detail free week so...

OK, AWI aren't going to replace the flying SEQs. They just aren't.

And how many different styles of flying can you have anyway? I don't
think the flying is very feminine or masculine either way.

There is, however, hope for the... uh... rough guess, five? people that
don't like the new SEQs. EDIT YOUR CACHE.
