On one hand, Christianity was undeniably a dominant force in Western culture and it's impossible to divorce it entirely from the golden age of Vidya we all long for. The archetypal hero and self sacrifice we often call for is rooted in those ideals and whether we are religious or not.
On the other hand, I don't think there's any value to Bible study passages and I would be ok with banning those posts.
That's where I'd draw the line anyway, though there's certainly an argument for some passage study. The recent video I linked to is a long those lines in that it uses biblical passages to demonstrate that it was in fact the result of absorption of even older cultures (Canaanites) and their stories.
And of course, pirates and strippers should be mandatory.
KiA2 has been more than just vidya for a long while now.
matters not suited to here
I don't like liars. Instead of blocking that daily verse OP because you don't appreciate it, you instead want them silenced so that no one that would appreciate it can. I would say this attitude is less deserving of being here versus a single daily quote than a very smart atheist can just downvote and ignore.
I don't believe in asking for bans generally, but I've been self banning those posts lately by just ignoring them. Maybe there's something useful in them, but the first few I looked at were full of one and two sentence back and forth. I deduce most of that type of discussion to same value as sibling bickering like "Mom, he's touching me!," "No he's touching me!" So, it's just not worth the time.
I think as always "it depends".
