The bible online... lol? Do I get to stone women and burn whole villages for having orgies?
Nope! You need to wait until The Qur'an Online is developed.

The games are like completely identical. Only this one is not some preaching Christian game, rather an Egyptian game with cool monuments that you can build.
How about "1000 books with the same name online" as its been mistranslated, misprinted sooo many times, and still people think its "completely and utterly true"
Huh. You know it's amazing how often non-Christians complain that we shove our religion down their throat, yet when anyone mentions anything about Christianity in general, they have no problem rushing in to let us know that God doesn't exist and our religion is a lie...
I didn't realise that referencing 'the bible' was trademark infringement of some kind... they say it's about being too generic, but I know it's really about ruffling the wrong feathers by using the name, and if the very people this game was meant to be marketed to are getting butthurt over it being based on the bible in the first place, then it's kind of dead in the water. Doncha think?
If I had to rename it, I'd go with one of the following;
Kingdom of Heaven
Antioch
Antiquity
Chosen Land
...
Actually, I can see people getting angry over any of those as well. There really is nothing you can do to sate that either.

People that mock faith have little of their own. If you have not figured out why your life is so empty, I can think of a good reason.
The game is a dumb one, but no need to jerks attempting to make fun of it.
Maybe it gets mocked because people that worship are very condescending towards people that don't? Filling emptiness with fear and letting the fear become your god?

So, my life is empty because I do not have the kind of "faith" that you do? First of all, how dare you, second of all, way to represent.
On topic: another member mentioned "The Old Testament". I think that fits just right.

I dont think he was pointing you out specifically. But if the shoe fits.....
And i think he dares and has a right to just as other people in this thread have bashed a religion just for the hell of it instead of actually providing some realistic and proper names as the topic suggests.
The Old Testament seems to be a good one IMO also. At least we can agree on that much.
@ MMORPG.COM staff. Did you really think this thread wasnt going to go to the crapper faster than a scrambled egg sandwhich? why even put this up here?

They should call it what it is Evony clone with bible fantasy backdrop. They could go with a slogan like; Give us your time, your money, your soul...

"Faith: Curse of Man"
"Abstinence Online"
"False Hope: Shadows of Amen"
"Hogwash Online"
"Religious nut job online"
How about "1000 books with the same name online" as its been mistranslated, misprinted sooo many times, and still people think its "completely and utterly true"
Evony Boobless
Evony Ultra Classic
They really should merge. the game looks almost identical. 'cept it's got bibles and old men instead of fake tits and umm what else does Evony have?
The Creationists game oh wait, that probably won't fare any better than their original title.
Gateway to Light
Gateway to Salvation
Days of Old
Journey : Path to Glory
Gikku
Crowd Control Online.... where every class has the ability to mez...
Huh. You know it's amazing how often non-Christians complain that we shove our religion down their throat, yet when anyone mentions anything about Christianity in general, they have no problem rushing in to let us know that God doesn't exist and our religion is a lie...
It is. That's why.

What makes you think that their life is empty?
Because when they look down there is only one set of footprints.
