The Dink Network

Are you part of the "younger audience"? Do you consider yourself Christian? Then by all means, STAY AWAY FROM DINK!

From a review on Christ Centered Game Reviews :

"From a Christian perspective I would not recommend this game for a younger audience. First and foremost there is swearing, the D & A words are used. Dink also has a few wise cracks that you may not want your kids to repeat, no matter how funny they are. There is also lots of blood and fighting, including domestic violence. Finally, magic is used in this game as well."

I knew the kill your uncle scene would be memorable!

There's even magic in the game, God forbid (literally).

Ooh, wow, the "D" and "A" words. They're so profane...

I say them at school every day!

i want this guy to review me and simonk's dmods.

No NO NOOO! They'd put us on Hard Copy!

Kidding aside, from a strict christian viewpoint (their's, not mine), they are stating only what they believe to be the commandments in the bible. It doesn't hurt Dink's fans nor really cause any trouble. The world can use good moral decent people who obey god and his commandments as they are given in the bible or whatever holy word book they use. The trouble comes from those who twist their religion to do evil and harm. I see no fault with this guy's words. And sometimes when my mouth gets ahead of my brain I wish I had that kind of spirituality.
I don't think Simon's dmods are too risque or vulgar tho I wouldn't let too young a person play his, mainly I think, cuz they would be constantly asking what the character in the dmod meant. I hope God loves a good laugh. I think the writer of the article is on the bandwagon of "What would Jesus Say?" that has been so popular for the last few years. (Actually, I cringe when I hear that for reasons of my own.---Well gee, I don't know, let's give him a call and ask! Well gollygee, when did Jesus last talk to you in person?) Never mind! Anyway, the article is not offensive imho.

Yes, but... OH MY GOD THERE'S MAGIC!!

What a f**k?

I am a christian, but after seeing how "church leaders" try to control people I'd rather be on thier "bad boy" list. Yay Dink!

What would jesus say? Stop basing a religion around how he died and start teaching the stuff he tried to acomplish during his life time, and pass on to others.

Maybe Christians think that Dink is taking place of The Jesus. Start the dinkedit, and you know what i mean...Passion of the Dink....

"Hey baby.."
"Leave me alone!"
"How do you like it when I say... ass?"
"Oh, Cookie..."

I want to be a macho man

Yes, but Jesus did away with magic, demons, and any other supernatural things. He said we would no longer have any such things and would have faith alone to believe. Before his birth people had these things to help them believe and acts of magic, demons, prophets, great and wondrous happenings, etc, were commonplace. But he put that all away with his arrival. Of course, many people read the bible differently and there are still people who believe in the supernatural. Jesus himself dealt harshly when he came across such things. The disciples alone were left with such supernatural powers so the multitudes would believe their words by their actions. And after they died, all such powers died with them. Tho of course lots of people don't believe that. They think it's still here and most believe it's evil. Hence, the article's mention of magic. To paraphase what he's saying: Stay away from anything that will corrupt a devout christian.
But of course I'm sure I'll hear from a lot of you on this subject. Nothing like religion to get the blood boiling and tempers flaring. Politics being a close second.

Well, now that I've got plenty of people on the warpath, I must bid you adieu. Ya'll have a nice day.

MTG did you say the F wojd?

w00t for demons and magic.

Does anyone realize the similarities between Christianity and Buddhism? I'm of course talking about their relation to Judaism and Hinduism. Jesus-Jew, Buddha-Hindu. Both are believed to be deities in their respective religions. Both religions put less emphasis on rituals than their "paternal" religions. There's more than that, but I'm much too lazy to come up with anything else.

I'm sure there must be some witty connections between Dink and Jesus... but they are just beyond my grasp.

Hmmm.

Both began life in poverty
Both have virgin mothers (well, that's a stretch as we don't know anything about Dink's father... and the concept of the virgin Mary was introduced by Catholics...)
Both mothers were called "Mary" (or did I dream that)
Both saved the world (in their own way)

I'll stop there...

I'm pretty certain the only real comparison between Dink and Jesus is their amazing ability to walk on water.

nah, they didn't tell Dink's mother's name.

dude, jews dont like jesus.

Yes they do. They just don't consider him the son of god. He was a prophet whose life was
falsely magnified beyond what they believe he did. They believe he did good works, miracles, etc., but hey, so did lots of prophets back then.
I wonder why no one, since old testament times and jesus' generation, has ever run across anyone, say, that can part the red sea or even just float a cat down from a tree?

float a cat down from a tree?

I think filling it with a wee bit of helium could achieve the desired effect.

Well, i won't be letting Redink preform any miracles near my pets

He'd probably use the cheaper and more readily-available Methane.

Lesse if anybody gets that...

Yep, that'd be one way to blast into space!

I want to read a review about pq or sob , "I ran scared away after seeing the first scene"?

Would you really regard being a farmer as being in poverty?
And I was looking for witty correlations between the two. Those are a lot harder to find...

Good thing they didn't find out about Progeny...

lol!

Hehehe

This site really isn't THAT bad. Infact, they did a pretty fair review for UT 2004

Umm, suppose there wasn't an option to turn off the gore? Think it would still be a fair review?

hey this site is no where nearly as bad as some of the crackpots online (religious right crack pots, not compulsive forum poster crackpots). For example:
http://objective.jesussave.us/mallmission.html

Actual quote:
J.C. Penny - The J.C. makes us think of Jesus Christ, thus associating our Lord with the lowest monetary value, the penny (even Judas valued Him at 30 pieces of silver!).

Sears - What the flesh of the danged does in Hell. It also sounds like "seers", Pagan mystics who engaged in occult premonitions.

Cinnabon - Sounds like "Sin Upon".

Orange Julius - Named for the Pagan Emperor of Rome. This company's mascot was once a devil, until they changed it to hide their true intentions.

Hot Topic - A recent store aimed at children that openly sells devil paraphernalia. Any guess as to why "hot" is in their name?

Hallmark Gold Crown Stores - Purveyors of Santamas tree ornaments depicting anthropomorphized woodland creatures (reference to Evolutionism) and Harry Potter merchandise. What notable person will have a mark and wear crowns? [Rev. 13:16, 13:1]

....and:

Called "Mall Rats" in their nihilistic Secular culture, they can often be found hanging around malls after public school doing nothing constructive. Teens paradoxically desire to be "different" but also to fit in. Use this contradiction to your advantage by pointing out how all the people around them are "tools to Secularism" while offering them the chance to join in the Love of Christ. Emphasize "coolness" of Jesus and offer "Radical Salvation". Secularized teens usually can't read too well, so hand out colorful stickers instead of pamphlets.

Oh heres a great one too:

Yes, that's indeed even worse

And I always thought Americans were stripe fetishists, I should have known better!

Ok, when I came across the "secularized teens usually can't read well" part, I became unable to believe that this is anything but a joke.

Seriously, are there any religious diehards that are that ignorant? I hope not.

Stupid school cookies.. if they can't taste bad, they work incorrectly.

Not fake believe it or not, but this on is, and hilarious! check out the store.
