you cannot use jesus or god in your motto on xbox

Postby travisagainstxbox » November 21st, 2008, 3:34 am

I am so angry with xbox right now. I tried to go into my gamer motto on xbox and rudely found out that it cannot have anything to do with jesus or god.
But you can have satin or just about anything to do with killing in it. I cancelled all of my accounts on xbox. They told me it was not fair to people who did not believe in god and that it is a gaming community.I am new here and sorry i am venting right away but am so mad i think im going to drive over my xbox. The problem with our country is we cannot associate god with anything we do in public. argghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
but you can use:
muslim , buddhist, hindu the list goes on and on .

You should complain to the XBox management. If their policy is being imposed upon a specific religious group and not another, this opens them to law suits.

It may be that they are discriminating against Christians, but it may also be that they restricted usage of "God" and "Jesus" to cut down on the amount of offensive content that would be made possible if they allowed for either of them to be used.

It's been my experience that, as far as websites and forums go, most atheists use both of those to inflict a lot of grief on Christians browsing and posting there. GameFAQs is one that comes to mind. It seems like there are far more atheists trolling on the Religion and social Christian boards than there are Christians actually discussing anything meaningful.

Microsoft may have chosen to go the route they did to avoid that. Who knows.

You have that right. Christians are seen as easy targets, because they think what Christians believe is antiquated and easily dismissed through logical thinking.

However, what they really rely upon is that Christians don't know enough to defend their faith and their views. They believe, mistakenly, that Christianity cannot be defended successfully. Once you know the defense, it's much easier to trip up Christian haters. They have already given you all the ammunition you need, in fact.

What we need are more people who can defend Christianity at all levels. We need to resist being pushed into dark corners where we are no longer a threat to their ideals. We must meet them head on and win. Otherwise, we will find ourselves not just marginalized, but (as it is currently happening) being forced to accept reprehensible things.

The end result will be laws forcing us to do things that are clearly against our beliefs. So, you must consider carefully how to stand up against these "reasonable" restrictions. They exist only because, as Christians, we accept them. We need to start pushing back...not by yelling loudly or showing anger (yet)...but by showing how hypocritical and unreasoning these kinds of restrictions have become.

When you start discriminating against one group and justify it by saying you don't want to avoid problems, then you've decided that the ends justify the means and have crossed the line of persecution...albeit mild, but at its core, this is what it is.

In my bio I talk about God and loving him most, so is it only having to do with your motto?

I know I am a few years late on this but I got around it by replacing the C in Christ with the microsoft emblem that looks like a bolded C. It is a sad thing that I had to go through a loophole but I did nonetheless.

Christianity can not be successfully defended. Once you know the defense, it is more likely to trip enemies of Christianity. They have given you all you need ammunition, in fact.
