Re: Removal of /home

Ok, OP is clarified. I'll update the title too. Also, you may all thank 2 of our players for this decision. They set their homes to pvp and then when lava was placed on that location, they repeatedly died in an endless loop - spamming chat. This brought the entire thing to our attention, and we'd ne...

My understanding is that you will be unable to sethome or have a home in PvP. As soon as I get that clarified, I'll post again.

What do YOU want to see in Creative?

It's been recently pointed out to me that Creative has a few messy spots. In thinking of how to fix this, I've come up with some new and hopefully interesting ideas.

But before I announce anything specific, I'd like to hear what YOU think.

Here's your chance.....

@697, Consistency is a good thing. Either assumptions are ok or they aren't. If other people use assumptions and you tell them to use facts then don't be surprised when they question your use of assumptions.

Sure, of course atheists can think of fictional things. But if it's fiction, it exists as fiction. My understanding is that atheists consider god to not exist.

I still stand by my opinions. And I understand that you don't agree and think differently.

I concur with 697s point above, also adding that agnostics are more prone to these opinions. or rather they form slightly more concrete opinions. Interesting. My first husband was an agnostic.

People don't become atheist in a vacuum. I think everyone has had at least some exposure to religion in their lifetime. The decision not to believe doesn't come without at least some consideration for the alternative. Religion does not equal god. Hmm.... You're revealing a very western way of think...

So, if an atheist immediately jumps in - the first 2 responses were by atheists - then it would seem that they accept his context of God and reject god rather than disbelieve in god.
