Crusader's Legacy

[SKILORD]

Thanx to Chrisus and all the others who provide feedback.

Ummm... I just read the other version of the story, SKI, and it is all good and descriptive. Though I have a feeling that it will be edited by their little politicaly correct mod...

[SKILORD]

hmmm?

Well if you were radical enough this story could be considered blasphme. I can't imagine why CT would edit my posts though, and if she did I would promptly stop posting stories at CFC. The Celtic tales found there would be easily moved over here. I would stay at CFC, of course, but they would find themselves without my stories.

I'm saving that specific chapter in case she edits it.

[vovan]

Well, like I said, I liked the chapter. It is just that it seems that from a very politically correct mod, as CT is (as shown more than vividly by her eiditing MindsBigger's story), I would expect her editing yours as well. Then again, it might be just my innate russian lack of trust towards the powers that be.

I know, i protested her editing of A Whoremaid's tale too, but i can't see exactly what she would edit. If any part of the Chapter is offensive, the whole thing is, from a religious standpoint. Other than religious objections i can see none ( but i bet that MB didn't think his title offensive, i didn't) i understand vov, though, and i will be waiting, watching, because i kno0w she has the decency at least to tell me if she changed it.

Well, you see, SKI, I don't agree with your point that if this chapter is offensive, so is the rest of the story. I, personally don't have a problem with it - thank god, I'm an atheist, - but I can see how an overly pc mod can, and here is my reasoning:

You see, Allah is unlike the three other gods you mentioned before in the story. Crenunnos, Shiva, and Susano are more like deities than gods. They are all just a part of the many gods that their respective worshippers believed there to be. They are sort of pagan gods, and there is less problem people have with them fighting because (a) Most people are monotheist nowadays, and (b) In the systems of beliefs where there is more than one god, they are considered more human-like than the ideal single gods of muslims and christians. While it was not uncommon for the polytheist (is that even a word? I am not sure, but I will use it as opposed to monotheism from here on. ) gods to fight amongst each other - just remember the greek gods, or the japanese gods, as shown on the example of Susano, - while it is not uncommon for them to fight, Allah, or God cannot fight anybody by definition, for they are believed to be THE one god. And according to the beliefs, even if they had competition, they wouldn't fight, for they are peace-loving. (Well, maybe Allah would, my knowledge of Quaran (sp?) is very limited, unfortunately.) That is one reason why the latest chapter might be more offensive than the previous ones.

The second reason is the traditional animosity between the Christian and the Muslim worlds. From the dawn of history, most of the major wars were fought between the two. Romans vs. Muslims, Greeks vs. the Turks, Russians vs. the Mongols, Gulf war, Soviet engagement in the Caucasus. The list goes on and on. Save the conflicts of the XIX and XX centuries, virtually all wars were fought between muslims and christians. Thus, as an ancient animosity, the subject of Allah, and God is touchy.

Is it normal that admins edit stories when they don´t like something in them? I hope not :-(((

I didn´t find anything wrong in the story, what it should be edited by someone else for...

[vovan]

Not over here, Sparkle. Don't worry, our mods don't mess with stories. (Well, I suppose if you promote racism or violence, or something, they would, but that has never happened yet.) Whereas over at CFC, we witnessed a story being edited by a mod just about four days ago...

I understand that vova, i was unsure about Including Allah for that reason, but if you

... Is there meant to be a continuation for this? But if I ... ?

[SKILORD]

There were several paragraphs more, but i forgot them.

I'm having my wisdom teeth pulled today, i'll be out for a couple of days therefore.

If I had it my way all dentists would be crucified as payback for the terror they instill in us mere mortals.

[TheGuitarist]

Lol Chrisius.

This is going great, SKILORD, and no, I haven't stopped reading your stories.

Very interesting concept, keep it up!

[vovan]

Ouch... It's a good thing the dentists don't all wear ties like this:
