Holiday Festival Controversy
I was on the forums today and saw two posts specifically about holiday festivals in the Tower. There were two posts that generated quite a bit of controversy, one that called for a Christmas Festival and one that called for a Ramadan Festival.
After reading these posts I couldn't believe how hypocritical and backwards some people on the forums are. Most accept a Christmas festival but are absolutely offended by the mere thought of a Ramadan Festival.
Have we really fallen so far? Posting inappropriate phrases to bash the Islamic faith and making jokes about terrorism. It really is a shame.
Don't give me the cop out excuses of that Christmas is more commercialized and makes up the majority, those explanations are complete crap, not everyone wants to celebrate a holiday with Christian roots.
I for one don't even think that Destiny has any of the faiths we have presently. They praise the Traveler as their Savior and the Speaker is sort of the Pope to the people in a sense. I don't Christmas exists. I do, however, think that having a seasonal festival of some sort would be great
TL;DR
[i]What justifiable reason can you give me for such a huge difference in opinion?[/i]
PS- for those that agree what do you think would be a good idea for a festival during the holiday season?

2 RepliesIdea for festival : Reggae festival Never bring a true religious holiday, such as Christmas into a game unless you only focus on the commercial or fantasy side, e.g Santa flying a sparrow pulled by thrall in front of the Traveller. Earning small gifts to fill a stocking(like the candy bag for halloween) that way nobody is offended, or they shouldn't be. If you use the true xmas religious part in the game though, showing some portrayal of Jesus (or God help you...Allah) then that game company is in for a whole bucket load of complaints. *Why isn't "insert religion" portrayed in the game? *i am deeply offended by how you portrayed my diety *i'm an athiest, i am offended by any portrayal of religion Just watch South Park Super Best Friends (they even had Mohammed in it, NOT ONE COMPLAINT at its time) and yet, with the 2 parter, where tom cruise wants Hams power of censorship, they had death threats, bomb threats etc. Oh and they were followed by Scientologists looking for dirt on Matt and Troy when they insulted Scientology. Imagine the same happening to Bungie. so follow this link http://jaymetate.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/notime.jpg
