Linus, stop talking about Gabe N like if he was a god

[TheRisingMyth]

Seriously man @LinusTech you should tone things down, it's not funny anymore, and as a believer, it barely goes down my throat if you know what i mean.

[Nineshadow]

Sarcasm?

[tryphaa]

Personally I cant see what the problem is.

 

Unless of course you are being sarcastic.

[TheEpicCanadian]

This MUST be a joke...

Go on /r/pcmasterrace and say that...I dare you.

[TheRisingMyth]

It's only for the sake of being respectful, god is a term rarely used properly, even when it's a sarcasm, it's inevitably jarring when you hear Linus never mentionning Gabe N in other than the divine status, it's a bit off for me.

So what's wrong with us referrring to Gabe Newell being a god? We can all have our own gods right? Or is this not a free country? If you really take offense to that and are not trolling I have no idea how you survive on the internet on a day to day basis, there is far worse out there.

[MangoJuiceStain]

Don't you DARE insult our lord and savior like that! DON'T YOU DARE. "May the power of Gabe compel you! May the holy father smite you where you stand heathen!" *splashes with holy tapwater*

Yeah, except god isn't just a word you can toss around and use it as if any christian, jewish, muslim or any other believer isn't watching, because believe me, regardless of what religion i or anyone in this freak'in whole world in, some people feel upset about it, and as much as the guy next door, i'm not expecting any of this to change, i'm hoping only to get the message outthere, knowing that "No, we're not all digesting it as you would've liked us to".

I bet you don't think children should be playing dodgeball or have plastic butter knives in school either, do you? 

 

people like you suck the fun out of everything quicker than American taxes and professional baseball.

I wouldn't expect you to appreciate some treating your mom as bitch, would you ?

 

It's the same for abrahamic religions in particular (the three i've stated previously) when you attach something divine to a human, it's an insult just as the former statement is, that's what people need to understand when they know believers are putting up really hard with some of the critics they get over their belief.

 

Mainly about ethics, values, respect and all, but no one seems to give any cares about it what so ever nowadays.

Maybe the internet just isn't the place for you? If you don't like what Linus does or what he says, then don't watch it.

 

Sorry, but I just can't take you seriously.

 

 

Make someone else can

What the hell? Man calm down...

The GabeN religion is a thing. You cant change it. If you are offended by it, then frankly, the Internet is a place too scary for you... Get over it.

I'm being facetious .

I think it's just so damn easy to make fun of religions anyway, what i was hoping to establish through this topic is some engagement from the forum members, and maybe a reply from Linus, saying why they would, or wouldn't do that, because as i recall correctly, i just suggested he tone things down, not completely stop it, i'm not seeking to fully restrict his freedom of speech as you could've guessed.

I wouldn't sweat it, I'm honestly surprised you bothered to reply.

 

No offense to OP.

Yeah, i guess i was expecting that, but i wonder how many people to this day still find it's funny enough, i certainly didn't for the aforementioned reasons... and dunno, i can't really know for sure if there's a way to "better present it" and still make it funny, or... i'm suggesting and including myself as a specimen and stating that not everyone is really down with the idea, that's all.

Well what can i say. Religion discussion on the Internet is not a good idea, since there is always that one guy who is so conservative.

GabeN religion discussion is even worse, since there will be a conservative guy bashing it, and a guy who likes to have a bit of fun on the internet defending/rationalising it to all of our amusement.

To be honest I don't even know where to begin to refute something so mundane.

Are you sure you realize the scope of your complaint? (or suggestion or whatever you want to call it)
