i give thanks now to you to but whats done is done and besides i can always change it back :D

If an admin deemed your name to be fine, you shouldn't have to change it. It isn't your problem that some people are choosing to get offended over a word and behaving as though you just kicked a puppy in front of them. There was absolutely nothing offensive about your username.

ok guys the names changed i dont get why a username should become such a big deal but any way i changed my name as you can see and this debate chould be finish to all who read this and my new user name- wich i dont really like-if you like it and i would like to say thanks to:<br /> everafter<br /> alygater<br /> quagga<br /> shadow wolf<br /> and whisper for there support on keeping my name and i wold like to say again that my name is changed for those who forgot.

Wow. I just read this and all I want to say is that I was horrified and disgusted that Dark shredded that Bible in that person's face. <br /> What was so hard about just letting it drop to the ground? <br /> I was brought up in a Free Presbyterian household to Born Again Christians and have a minister brother. I am gay and live with my boyfriend, so I don't have the right, as my parents and brother see it, to defend Christianity, but never would I dream of ripping up the Bible or Q'uran or any other religious literature. I just...can't get my head round that at all.<br /> I'm shocked.<br /> <br /> As for having God mentioned in names, I don't think it should be allowed. Same with politics and sexual orientation. Such subjects are too controversial and are likely to offend.<br /> <br /> Also, someone in chat told House of Hanover that if the parents of a 14 year old didn't like their child seeing that kind of thing (sexual orientation), they shouldn't let their kid onto the net. I feel that's unfair. Why <i>should</i> such kids be kept offline? Games like this are supposed to be safe environments for everyone, are they not?

Well I don't see it as a bad thing for having it that for a name. Basically it's the same as me putting I believe in something. That's fine, awesome. It's when I get this from someone:<br /> <br /> My God is the only one: believe in that, or perish!<br /> <br /> Now that is something I would be conserned in. Please do not force your religion onto others. Sharing what you believe in is fine.

Oh,Extreamly sorry,I thought it meant the belife of god being re-born. XD As for the usernames,no it isn't hurting anyone is it?

<b>This is the second request to keep this debate civil. Keep the debate on topic: Religion in user names.<br /> <br /> A third incident will cause this thread to be locked.</b>

Eh. To each his own.<br /> <br /> When I see a username with 'god' in it that's flaunting enough for me. Be it good or bad, is not much of a name more so it's a statement or trying to make a point.<br /> <br /> Religion is touchy business. I myself am not huge on the username but if the admins are fine with it then whatever floats their boat.

Just for the record, this topic is about debating religion in usernames, NOT religion itself. I asked about what this was, earlier. <br /> <br /> "Quagga, it's a religious thing. We got in a little fight about Our God is rising's name and it changed into this huge thing. We're continuing it here because we can't keep it in chat."<br /> <br /> I don't mean to mini-mod, but the title can be misleading. I only want to clarify. I'm sorry if this is considered min-modding.<br /> <br /> My God is Rising (Such a long name xD), in our religion, we can view it as trying to help. However, they have different beliefs, and to them, our attempts at "saving" them only gets obnoxious and excessive. It's the equivalent of them telling us that our religion is wrong, and them trying to convert us; we are doing the exact same thing but with (sometimes) different words. There is still a point where we must respect other people's decisions and opinions. <br /> <br /> I still feel that a name like "My God is Rising" sounds a bit like... you're flaunting... er, something, not sure what. It just sounds like avoiding religion in usernames in general could clear up a whole lot of potential issues; then you don't have to state what is allowed and what isn't, there are no "martyrs," and no feelings of being picked on.

i wasnt trying to convert anyone when i said that i was just stating.
