Basically, like I usually do, I got drawn into an argument with this one guy who believed that people who play pay-to-play MMOs for PvE are "retards" because "MMOs are for PvP" and "raids are just the same thing over and over and over again"
(Note that while the last part may be true, it's not a valid argument because repetition isn't always a bad thing, especially when it's a group of friends that you enjoy being around)
Oh yeah, and when I said "Ever hang out with a bunch of friends at the same restaurant over and over again?" he responded with something along the lines of "No, because I'm not a faggot."
Cue double takes from me and one other person who was arguing against him. Cue a few pot shots later, the matter was dropped.
And then someone mentioned "Who cares if someone's gay anyways?"
And then he spoke up and said "god"
So, having hung around here too long, I said "Which god?"
And he said "The one that's gonna judge you after you die."
Cue one of my rare clever retorts, "Anubis?
"
Cue rant about how he's the last Christian MMO player and how atheist nerds overpopulate them and rawr hell and blah blah blah.
Cue two hour argument with me laughing half the time.
I got preached to. On an MMO. Where people worship saints and deities are non-existent. And pagan magic is still going strong. And so forth.
He didn't say anything new, either...
1. Darwin recanted his theory on his deathbed
2. You need to repent AND be baptized to be saved
3. All the religious themes and such that predated Jesus are rip-offs of him
4. "You won't be laughing when you go to hell."
And so forth. He even pulled the classic line "I have gay friends" and such to justify what he said. Seriously.
Someone actually wondered aloud if he was a troll.
