It's slightly humerous the whole article.

"The Church feels the use of Manchester as a setting for the shoot-out game is particularly inappropriate because of the city's history of gun violence."

Ah, so it is very appropriate then? Showing gun violentcein a place that has a history of it makes it right at home. Especially something as fictional and real. I am being sarcastic if you really want to know. It's very petty of the church, and you nearly never need to ask for permission to use a building in a game. Since when was a landmark a trademark, by the way?

I am sleepy, so if you make sense of any of my posts I'll give you sweets.

Yea the whole thing about gun history seems a little stupid, but this thing is the church is against violence, then Sony put a probably almost identicle copy of the church in a violent game without any permission, it's just how religions are, I think religion is stupid but it's what they believe and people should really think about that

I find it petty that they want permission, even though you really don't in most cases. If the game was wholly based around it, then they probably would, but I imagine it is just one level/fragment of the game? If you need permission for buildings, then The Getaway would still be seeking permission "/

I suppose we just have to live with religions causing a petty fuss over something as irrational as this. I understand the violence, I can agree to some extent, but I do't agree with the permission rubbish.

I would use the term mis-guided. I believe that the thought of God or gods is just some imaginary, non-physical thing in your mind which you discuss your thoughts with, and you somehow gain a rational thought process of what you are discussing, and come up with an idea which is influenced by Godly teachings through preachings or from the bible. That's how I see religion or God/gods. People solve their own problems but call that problem solving thing in their mind God, and they don't notice it was all their own doing.

If that makes sense? Anyway, this is a console forum not a religion forum

To be honest, it's a joke. Sony used a massive landmark of Manchester in a game without permission, and Manchester's trying its hardest to get away from it's gun history.

Well tbh, at least its brought an end to a extreamly petty and stupid row, and lets hope we see Resistance back on selves soon
