Yeah good ole Thomas Jefferson was right on the money there.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

They censored one post because I said hell. The context was " hell, over at AF.org they even have a Muslim staffer."

You did better than me.
I got banned after my first post, and all I said was " hi, I'm an atheist looking for rational debate and discussion"

RE: To the theists that cry censorship.
Weird.. the Catholic forums were more accepting than this forum you're talking about. They just ignored me.
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!

Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.

Dead wrong.  The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.

Quote:Some people deserve hell.

I say again:  No exceptions.  Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it.  As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.

What kind of absurdly egotistical motherfuckers do you have to be to think that the fucking HOLY SPIRIT...assuming you are dumb enough to believe in one...has nothing better to do with its time than oversee how they run a goddamned message board?

Unbelievable.

Gods on Christian mingle com right now Lol

it isn't in our nature to think of a God, it is in our nature to seek answers and the concept of God is most influenced in this world.

Yeah but they are likely more used to atheists and have less up tight mods.

Watch it. The Holy Spirit sees the beginnings of a foul mouth.

That'll be 10 rosary recitations, then be on your way.

RE: To the theists that cry censorship.
It's ironic. I remember on a Christian forum an argument in all seriousness that the US should have nuked Pakistan and Afghanistan after 9/11, that innocent lives were not a reason not to retaliate in full, and that it did not even matter if it was the guilty who were punished, so long as someone was! This was discussed quite calmly as a civil point.

But I once said "awww hell" and got a formal warning along with a stream of "we don't want to be made to read such obscenity".

Isn't it strange how people's views on what is offensive or obscene can vary.
"Peace is a lie, there is only passion.
Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken."

Tim Tebow thanked Jesus for every complete pass he threw in his NFL career. All four of them.
