The first inevitable backlash against EA's Spore has started, with creationist bloggers starting a massive anti-spore campaign.

hahahahahahahahahaha the Human body has sooooo many flaws it makes me laugh out loud whenever I see creationists saying that!

Torwald · 10th Sep 2008, 11:19

Some ppl have waaay too much free time... This is only a GAME, but it seems they don't get it. Why they didn't react when StarCraft was released, or Sims ? :P

My thoughts exactly

How many types of human beings have existed before homo sapiens?Quite a lot!This guy thinks like a medieval priest - you know back when Gallieleo said that the Earth was round and the church fried him!Pathetic...

yah-huh. my cataracts, wisdom teeth and semi-functioning pancreas disagree.
don't these people have anything better to do? these people should be re-labeled 'cretinists'.

I just finished reading the site when I caught this post

What I want to know is, the guy "I understand people get defensive when they know they are wrong" or something to that tune, yet, he's the one getting his knickers in a knot about a game?

I mean. It's a game. You can ignore it by simply not looking at it. EA/Will Wright aren't going knocking on doors, unlike certain Relgious groups, forcing the game on you.

Man up - If something doesn't suit your religion, have yourself a big bag of shut the **** up and ignore it. Unless it's funny, like this site for example.

Oh lawl. I do like the way they try and justify their words! Did God know exactly what to create us like? Who created Him?

Btw, eurl is missing a closing brace.

alastor · 10th Sep 2008, 11:55

Tagline has a typo on the front page, and one of the eurl links is broken...tut tut Joe

Yet another example of fundies completely missing the point because of their faith-induced short sightedness.

Tyrmot · 10th Sep 2008, 11:58

Of course, the opinion of anyone ignorant enough to believe in creationism doesn't count for anything anyway... But it was inevitable that they'd get up in arms about this I suppose *sigh*

Still, as mentioned at least it's good for a laugh in a quiet moment.. Quote:

'This entire game is propaganda aimed directly at our children to teach them evolution instead of creationism, or “intelligent design” if you go for stupid PC terms.

The object of the game is to evolve from a “spore” into demon-like intelligent space creatures that violently take over the galaxy.'

HAHAHAHA! brilliant

Funniest blog EVER

Baz · 10th Sep 2008, 12:06

I call fake on this - I just don't see someone being this stupid being able to write a blog.

PhenomRed · 10th Sep 2008, 12:06

Lol, its hilarious how they link Spore to Homosexuality, as if the two go hand-in-hand or something.

hitman012 · 10th Sep 2008, 12:07

I hope you realise that this is probably a joke.

bowman · 10th Sep 2008, 12:08

It's just a joke blog, and it's fairly obvious too..

I think it's just a joke but wouldn't surprise me. It's a game....if you don't like it don't play it, don't buy and go play in traffic.
