Yeah, but he's just a silly guy in stripes from Pete and Pete. "The Strongest Man...in the World!" What's next...I have to change my name because I'm not dubbed a knight by the Queen of England?

One could be called "God Hand" by others who consider the person to be really expert beyond any other experts. But one cannot call oneself "God Hand".

Try telling that to SprintGod.

Personally, I am not offended by his name.. Even though I am a christian too. If there is a God above us, which I belive, I think he see through the fingers on this nickname... The point is: Bisqwit created this site, and he is the manager. He directs. So it's pointless to argue with him.

This is Bisqwit's site, he makes the rules.

I totally agree. BTW: I haven't watched the TAS yet! :P I will do that now, and then vote! :P

One more time, to make it clear. I am not offended by the name. But I refuse to publish something as "by God's Hand" (with or without 's).

I was most struck that this name was allowed, since ninja is a special title here. I agree with Bisqwit that something like "made by God's Hand" sounds strange. He just recently joined, so it's not a big deal to change his nickname. This reminds me of a tv commercial where God's Hand changed the direction of the ball in a soccer match to score a goal (don't know for what product the commercial was)... but they stopped showing it since there were too many people offended by it.

Re: JXQ, In communication, the responsibility to make a message understood is with the sender, not with the receiver. When we publish at this site, we are making a message. It is our responsibility to make it understood the right way. Hence, your "but there's a difference between intention and the looks" point is moot.

I don't fully share this view. Walking on egg-shells because someone, somewhere, will be overly sensitive when it was not intentionally blaspheming, is just restricting other's freedom unneededly (+ real English word).

Re: JXQ, You do a great job in pointing fingers and blaming everyone for whatever character warts you recognize, or just generally making everyone look stupid. How productive is that?

It could make them take another look at their post. Maybe. Or maybe it just makes me look like an ass. But you and Kaitoukid set that tone with this thread when you posted this:

God, I hate religious people.

KaitouKid: Well, the point is clear. You are an atheist (or agnostic or whatever), and I am christian. :) And you rant angrily and use words like "fuck" and "christ" in contexts where they don't belong to. And I frown at that kind of behavior.

Both of these posts SCREAM "I'm better than you because of my religion / non-religion". Very inappropriate for both sides of the issue. (In small letters at the bottom, I'll also point out that you really have no grounds to criticize me on being "productive", but that is beside the point. You see, this way I'm still being the bigger person by not actually mentioning it - I'm only mentioning it here in passing. Yes, I realize this is pointing out more warts.)
