Well "the facts" in this case would be in relation to FallentoReason and whether or not the folk at that forum
can substantiate the claim.... "Your posts say it all--you're angry at God".

If a Moderator pre-approves a post, then it makes it hard for non-Mods to whine and moan. Grinding of teeth and gnashing about why someone should be banned.

Quote:My question is, why do self confessed non-believers, athiests who deny the existence of God, come to Christian boards. Most I have encountered do nothing but stir the pot amongst believers. Why do we even tolerate them at all? Many state, "I once was a believer, I was raised a Christian, etc.
They seem to know more than even God has revealed in Scripture? "I dont believe in the death sentence, I believe women should have the right to have an abortion, I believe religion should be kept out of schools, I believe in gay marriage," and on they go!!!!!!!!!!

Many come up with statments like this, "Our vision is of a society where religion is not privileged, one that lives and grows through evidence-based reasoning and secular values. A society where atheism is visible and accepted and atheists have equal rights and voices.
We want to engage the wider community, not isolate ourselves from it. We seek a level playing field with religious organisation. We don’t discriminate against religious people or seek special status ourselves, and we value the spirit of free enquiry. We work through education, activism and by representing the voice of reason and voices of atheism in public debate. We also get together to celebrate life and have fun.

I mean, come on!! Where do these atheists get off wanting a society honoring equality, where atheists are free to say whatever they like, where people can just have fun whenever they like!!11!!
On a separate note, there is one poster there; Viole, who continues to escape banning.
I am never needlessly cynical, but am wondering: why is a Swedish, violin playing female non-believer tolerated where a male Aussie thong wearing Grommet non-believer is not??

I don't play any violin.

Besides, it sounds more like you would play the viola, not the violin....

Hey Viole! How'd you find this place?

HAhahaha! Fantastic! Can I just say; I'm a big fan. How do you manage to stay so calm? Upon re-reading your little bio on the side there, I'm not sure why I thought you played violin... perhaps it was the vivaldi reference....

How I found this place?

I noticed that a new atheist from Oz has been banned after a few hours without any apparent reason. And this a few days after FTR ban.

So, I figured, maybe it is FTR coming back with another name (unlikely, he would not have stated he is from Australia) or maybe he is a friend of him on another forum (more plausible). The only logical reason for a mod to ban immediately like that is to have discovered something of the sort. So, I just looked arond, like the mod presumably did.

I don't expect to post a lot here. With all due respect, I don't have much fun discussing with people with similar worldviews.

Not surprising really - we are a pretty rancid mob.
