Probably get modded down for this.. for "religion" has always struck me as a haven for the fearful, those who lack self-esteem, or narcissistic personalities looking for external justification for their insane behaviour.
When such an individual is confronted with the prospect of death.. all that doubt, self-loathing and regret must really be a lot to suddenly bear when they "know" they're about to face the final judge.

No offense, but anyone who starts their post with "Probably get modded down for this" probably should get modded down. But then this is slashdot, so posting an article that can even barely be described as anti-religious is akin to posting an article saying "the PS3 is dying" in an XBox fanboi forum.
And which computer these days has only 1 optical drive? Even the cheap emachines from 4 years ago came with a DVD-ROM and CD-RW.
Um, how about owners of the XPS M1710, Dell's fastest consumer notebook. You know, the one the article is about.
The mark of Cain thing is something I've never heard talked about in church, but I've read it in a couple of books, some of which were revised after leaders got around to reading them.
"as man is. .." is what I meant by Athanasian Creed.
I have no idea what you're talking about when you say "the physical insemination of the Blessed Virgin Mary" because I've never, ever heard that one before, and I've heard plenty of things about Mormons - including that we have to shave our horns on a monthly basis to fit into society.
Quoting obscure passages of scriptures has generally gotten me nowhere in helping people see my point of view, because people tend to believe what they want to. I thought I'd reply to you anyway. Have a nice day.
I suspect that you're just being funny (due to the second portion of your post - which was indeed funny), but around here, most of us know that "Stuff that matters" == "Stuff that matters to the editors."
And by the way, my group won't be able to meet on Saturday, so we're stocking up for tonight's gaming session. Right now.
Oh, THAT movie franchise. I thought he was talking about the one we grew up on. The one that was *ruined* by its creator due to the Quest for More Money. The one that has its own story icon. . .
And of course the leaders of that country are busy killing people and invading some other countries... I think someone should show these leaders what sex is about
If this is in reference to the US government, you have a short memory of China's human rights record.
Oh, there were plenty of people who had already flipped out over the content in this game. When GTA3 came out, we had the same level of controversy. However, when nothing came of it, other than a lot of talking heads getting airtime, people moved on. This mod/unlock is just a way for politicians to get more publicity.
There was also the Playboy: The Mansion game which was rated "M." And in fairness, there were plenty of people outraged that GTA got away with an "M" rating in the first place.

As for your other points, I can quote scripture too. :)
1. Deuteronomy 4:2
2. Amos 3:7, Ezekiel 37:19-20, Isaiah 29:11-14
3. Genesis 30:1-9
