Grand Theft Auto Fans Wants Bible BANNED! by Leadn(m): 1:38am On Dec 08, 2014 |
You read it as it is! Often times, we tend to believe that our values are the right ones for everybody. As Chris Matyszczyk said, many people's definition of "liberal" seems to be "say and do whatever you like, as long as I don't find it repulsive." Just as many people's definition of "freedom" is, in fact, "free to think and do only those things of which I approve." Onto the topic at hand, the ruckus in Australia which boils down to values, centres on the country's top stores - Kmart and Target to crack down and ban the highly rated Video Game "Grand Theft Auto V." The ban follows a petition on change.org signed by about 50,000 people, who declared that the game "encourages players to murder women for entertainment " It added: "The incentive is to commit sexual violence against women, then abuse or kill them to proceed or get 'health' points." It concluded: "Games like this are grooming yet another generation of boys to tolerate violence against women." A rather true cause but one would ponder why it took them five (5) versions to get the issue raised. Anyways, in as much as the petition is somewhat in the right step, since the issue of violence against women remains central to every society in the world. Some GTA fans are unfazed and belief the ban wasn't worth it, and thus started a new petition. They're now calling for Target and Kmart to ban the Bible. Posting their own petition in same Change.org, the petitioners declare: "Withdraw The Holy Bible -- this sickening book encourages readers to commit sexual violence and kill women." Its wording tries to mirror that of the original petition. For example: "This book means that after various sex acts, readers are given options to kill women by stoning her unconscious, Setting them on fire, cutting off their hands, and killing their children!" And then there's: "One of many fan passages In The Holy Bible depicts woman being set alight for having sex. "And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the LovePeddler, she profaneth her father: she shall be burnt with fire." (Leviticus 21:9). " Clearly this is more of a sardonic statement than a real attempt to get the Bible banned. However, GTA V has begun to incite even more heightened reactions than the previous versions. We're waiting patiently for the outcome of the petition, and it should be noted that currently, over 40,000 people have signed the petition to ban the bible. http://www.techiedup.com/2014/12/grand-theft-auto-fans-wants-bible-banned/ |
