I'm confused, which may just be me being confused for no good reason -- but if you're Pagan, why are you creating a Visual Article about the Christian Bible?

I am helping a friend make it. Just kinda splitting the work load, if that makes sense?

Ah, I see. Okay, makes sense now.

Just wondering, but is "Visual Article" really the best terminology for this?
It isn't anymore visual than a regular article, is it?

That's what I thought, but my partner kept calling it that. And he has been doing visual novels longer than I, so I thought that is what you call something like this.

Not particularly. 'Visual' generally means that there are images. This is a Rant in software.

DarkSpartan, I respect your personal opinion, but this is more of a documentary than a rant.

"Rant":
noun
a spell of ranting; a tirade.

"Tirade":
noun
a long, angry speech of criticism or accusation.

"Documentary":
noun
a movie or means of communication that provides a factual record or report.

In no way, were we trying to seem critical or accusatory. Our goal was to be merely informative.

this thread is interesting me more and more. too bad i didn't bother to download it before the link was removed.

one thing though,

Quote:

if that's the meaning you're using, then I don't think documentary would fit either. I haven't read it yet, but if this is in any way about the bible and not referring to multiple sources of impartial historical nature, then it can't be more than theory. article would probably be the best word.

btw, didn't the bible mention jesus eating bread and fish several times? also, wasn't he a carpenter?

Well, there were some issues that needed to be addressed, so I thought I should take it down in the mean time. It should be back up soon. I could always PM you when I get it back up if you like.

Well, I was content with the word "article", but DarkSpartan called it at rant, which I hope it doesn't come off in such a manner, and I was just trying to make it to were others wouldn't just turn away after seeing someone calling it a rant.

We address that in the article. Also, him being a carpenter has been subject of debate amongst people. Just as his existence has. But what made you bring that about him being a carpenter up?

this is why I mentioned the idea of impartial historical evidence. my knowledge is mostly from wikipedia, but apparently both of those things have claims from non-religious contemporary historians.

the reason I mention him being a carpenter (or apparently a word more literally meaning technician) is because in the first century it would have been utterly impractical not to use beasts of burden. I had thought that was taboo in a vegan lifestyle.

Yeah... he also rode a donkey into town at one point, so there's also that.

Some of the apostle were fisherman in the bible. Vegan fishermen sound strange. First generaly fisherman eat fish, and even if they don't, is fishing ok with veganism if its for money more than if it is for eating?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apostle_%28Christian%29
This conceptual character called Jesus is ok if you eat fish like during the Feeding the multitude where fish are involve again.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feeding_the_multitude
I am not sure how it work about eating flesh and blood of your own god in the last supper with vegan life style as well.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Last_Supper

As an athéiste who love to eat a good piece of meat, I can't say I am in shok with this bad usage of the bible and/or the vegan ethic. At least this it's funny to try to spot the incoherence of this propaganda.

Folks, I don't want to turn this thread into a discussion about if Christians are allowed to eat meat. That's way off-topic for these forums. If the game is posted again, feel free to comment on it directly. But otherwise, we probably should let it go, and let this thread drop into obscurity.

Why would being a "visual article" prohibit including a screenshot?
