| Please change the name of the creature "antichrist" to something like "archdemon" or something like that, I take offense to that name very highly. Thank you. | | I find it strange that you find it offensive. Judging from your name, I assume you're a Christian. And I assume Christians would welcome any chance to permeate their religion into the game. For that very reason, I, as a non-Christian, dislike the name myself, although I wouldn't go so far as to say I'm offended. | What about Crusader?
It's a weak creature :) | There is no offence in using this name. Just take it like it must, full opponent at archangels. Why angels should be allowed in this case? Any name around religion should be withdraw in this case?
I cannot speak in the name of administration, but i do not feel any offence in both side! | The term or title antichrist, in Christian theology, is a leader who fulfills Biblical prophecies concerning an adversary of Christ, while resembling him in a deceptive manner. The antichrist will seemingly provide for the needs of the people but deny the ultimate salvation.

The Devil is believed in many religions and cultures to be a powerful, supernatural entity that is the personification of evil and the enemy of God and humankind. The Devil is commonly associated with heretics, infidels, and other unbelievers.

The term antichrist isn't exactly someone against/opposed to Christ, nor anyone hunting him, nor trying to kill him. It's just a label for what has been described above. Whilst, Devil is actualy the "real" enemy (anti) god/christ. If you really feel offended, you should be because of the term Devil as it is far greater than the antichrist. You should know your religion better if you're so entangled in it.
Anyways, it's just a fantasy here. And what would be the point of having Angels/Archangels fight AntiObama creatures? If you have Angels and Archangels in a game, you need to give them their mythology opponent for fun's sake.
And what would happen if everyone would start complaining around? People from India could have said: please remove the Ox 2009 from the game, they are sacred and shouldn't be killed, I feel offended! People of muslim religion could have said: please remove the Crusaders from the game, I feel offended! Someone could say: please remove Unicorns from the game, we know they don't exist, I feel offended!
If you want to have fun like everyone else, keep your religious views out of this game. | | It just doesn't sit right with me, that's all I'm saying. And sorry about placing this in the "Queries and help" when it should have been put in the "Complaints and questions" category. | It would have fit perfectly in the Off-game forums, where there is already a similar discussion (except no one seems to feel offended):
https://www.lordswm.com/forum_messages.php?tid=1895887 | | Would you like me to put my religious views into the game DarkSooth. Because if you want me to, I can paste the WHOLE chapter on antichrist's appearance. If your asking me to be an ***, then i'll do it just to tick you off! | | Please don't do that, I might hide under the bed :( | | Then don't you dare try to bring my religious views into this. I believe everyone has their own choice on what they want to believe in and I highly respect that. The name doesn't sit right with me out of PERSONAL FEELINGS, not religious ones. That's why I want it changed, and if it isn't changed then so be it; i'll just continue playing the game like everyone else. | You do realise the admins (or whoever decided to name them this way) can't please everyone's feelings?
Just because there is a creature named Antichrist in this game, doesn't mean the admins or the game are against christ, nor that they have something with your persoanl feelings, nor anyone else's. It's just a fantasy game. If you dislike the name/label/mythological being called antichrist, you should be pleased for having the opportunity to fight against it in this wonderful game. | | closed by PaladinforGod (2011-01-06 13:29:22) |
