I made a press release on the EVE Online forums earlier today. I used text from The Vision of Tribe of Judah and included some of the biblical references in that text (written by Tek7).
I came back home and logged in, found that the replies resultet in a two page thread, not something I would have expect to see the first time I presented Tribe of Judah's new chapter.
However, my inital post had been snip'ed by a forum moderator. Some of the inital text had been left alone and by removing some sentences while others still remained, the content of my (moderated) post was that "it was all an absurd thing" that there is a God. Some of the replies followed the same path as the moderator's editing.
According to a reply from the forum moderator (character name "Tirg") I will recieve a watning for breaking the Forum Rules (and maybe also the End User License Agreement). I am yet to recieve such a warning and have contacted the forum moderators and asked them to specify exactly what I did wrong and what rules that I broke here. I will edit this post as I learn more....

Welcome to EvE, where 99.% of the population are know-it-all agnostic nerds; I can't think of a better platform for a God-loving corporation than this.

Religion and games do not mix, especially ones with such a wide variety of people.

Good luck, but I suggest you keep your own justifications for playing this game private. Most of us won't like seeing religious zealotry starting to invade a game, and we can make our displeasure shown...

An online game is NOT the forum to push religious convictions. Please understand that, as people war dec you and kill you, that it's not about God, it's only about you.

RL religion, regardless of which, has no place in a game. I consider this flamebait and highly offensive.

I'm as agnostic as the next guy, and I get irritated when people ring my doorbell at christmas to tell me how terrible it is that people stop fighting wars for one day to celebrate christmas.
But why all the flames, if you people are really agnostic/atheist you should be at least desplaying a modicum of open mindedness, these people apparently actually believe in something and are ready to talk about it through a medium they think will be effective.
While I dont agree with them, and if they talk to me will probably block them, I dont feel any need to flame them.
Why do you?

Ned Flanders is playing EvE now? Leave RL religion out of the game. Do you have any clue how many RL people of different religions play this game? Please keep your personal justification to play this game to yourself.
