At the outset I want to note that this is not a complaint about theVOID or an allegation that he did not follow the forum rules. It is merely my thoughts on the reason he gave for giving me a negative rep.
This is interesting, I got a negative rep
from theVOID because
"Literalist interpretations of a book you have no honest way of verifying as truth automatically earns you a neg rep."
Do you give out negative reps any time someone holds to a position that they have no honest way of verifying as truth?
Are you suggesting that there is an honest way of verifying your whole position on origins as "truth"?
How do you define "truth" anyway?
I, personally, think you are being inconsistent and arbitrary in giving me the negative rep. I think you only did it because you do not agree with my position on the Bible. If you are going to give me a negative rep, at least be consistent overall and be honest about why you are doing it. In other words, saying "Literalist interpretations of the Bible automatically earns you a neg rep." would be consistent and honest (even if I disagree that it is a good reason for giving someone a negative rep). Linking the reason to the fact that it cannot honestly be verified as truth is inconsistent and disingenuous.
