That's weird. My own (Christian) friends are like "Well, God said to be tolerating and to love our neighbors, so it's all cool," and that despite the fact that God kinda said gay is bad in the Old Testament, so are a lot of other stupid things like the hundreds of interesting but fiddly laws God gave to the Israelites...

Well that might be because Christians are people too and some feel that the bible is full of lovely stuff too, so why should it be ignored to the exclusive detriment of others?

It might also be due to the fact that quite a few verses of the bible tell us that we can ignore a bunch of those old laws, while a bunch of other verses tell you that you must follow them.

Really all-in-all the bible is very contradictory about most rules that it passes down. Even things like the 10 commandments suffer from this, when we have an explicit commandment that tells you "Thou shall not kill" and then we have thousands of other verses telling us things like "Whoever curses father or mother shall die".

I sometimes feel like playing Spore, and I do occationally, but I'm always looking for a mod that reduces the amount of quests/pirate raids in the Space Stage as I would really just like to explore. It's annoying that I seem like the only one who's able to solve peoples problems and if I don't complete the quests I gain a diplomacy penalty with that alien race.

I can't explore because everyone needs my awesome skills of problem solving.

I would probably play it again if the DRM on it wasn't some ultra draconian bullshit.

Udil stole Volondor's sphere and identity.
I might take Corvus' when I eat him. If I eat him.

"Lo, I see that you are busy at work, freely using of Magnus' gift.  have a request to make of you, and i see it to return the favour equally, if you say yes. Corvus is paranoid, warped and spiteful. He is failing in his duty as a god of Knowledge, which is why I took it upon myself to grant technology to the mortals of this world. But This is outside of my sphere and i cannot do it as efficiently as you would. Would you join my pantheon and take over the sphere of Knowledge? You would be in power over all affairs of mortal improvement and knowledge, both emotional, spiritual and technological. I will give you a Mighty act to take over Corvus' sphere as the god of Knowledge in my pantheon.

They do me more good than they appear.

Okay.  Would you rather I stop so you can depend on your cultists to free you in a timely manner while the many different beings outside plot ways to bring an end to you?
