You keep saying this, but I want to see a link to this so we can understand this in context.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

Drich, you were never going to banned. None of the staff ever mentioned the word 'ban'. The only person throwing around the word 'ban' is you. Why is that, I wonder rhetorically?
There is no double standard. Theists are not treated any differently from the other godless heathen, at least at the staff level. For fuck's sake, there have been xtians among the staff, and one of the admins is muslim. How you get treated out here in the public arena, of course, is up to you. To that end, if you ever have a problem with what you think are attacks or indeed anything you feel breaches the rules, report it. Shit, just PM me if you like. I've somehow garnered a reputation for fairness of sorts, at least when it comes to my official duties. Use me, while I'm still here. As long as it doesn't tickle or make me fall over, anyway.
Please stop whining. It's getting boring and I'm getting a headache. You wouldn't like me when I have a headache.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

What do you mean, while you're still here?
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.

Sorry, I honestly thought I'd taken that out. I was in a bit of what used to be called a blue funk when I typed that, sort of caught between memories of times past and hopes for the future. Missing both Sam and Shell. Posting here helps me to focus, meaning I can be a different person online, but sometimes my darker side leaks out it seems. The stupid thing is I even read it through about three times and didn't catch it.

Were's the report? Where's that discussion, because I have frankly no idea what you're talking about.
Quote:None of you were Anywhere to be found. Why? Because of the double standard here. Only atheists are to be treated with kid gloves, and are to be honored and respected with word though and deed. Christians, can be verbally shat on, and no one cares. It's not only acceptable, but seemingly mandatory..
The persecution card is getting so old. Stop whining, bitch, and own up to what you've done for once, without trying to shift the blame.
Quote:What's worse? I am expected to be greatful for not have been ban for breaking a nonexistent rule... Which is about as stupid as a cop pulling you over and telling you that you should be grateful for him not taking you to jail for not breaking a law! The fact that you have broken no law is evident! The fact that someone wields their authority over you, to remind you that they hold the power of life and death in this place over you and that you should be grateful to them For not destroying you and what you have work here for, is unjust, and oppressive.
The wording of these rules is chosen to decrease the number of misinterpretations. However, they do arise and it is left to the staff to determine how to interpret the rules Are you on the staff? No? Well, then it's not up to you what's against the rules and what's not.
Quote:Maybe that is why we write things down over here. So that power hungry self righteous English douche bags, can't just make up shit as they go along, and expect everyone else to play by some unwritten rule that only benefits power hungry, self righteous English douche bags.
What fucking English are you talking about, you crazy and paranoid prick?! In this matter only one English staff member has participated in the matter of your offence, the majority are Americans. And for that matter, what has nationality to do with it, you're just making yourself look really stupid now.
Quote:Over here we strive for equality for everyone and not conformity, which seems to be the common thread in this thread. I will not conform to anything you are demanding I conform to, and the real reason I should be thankful that I have not been ban, is because I have been allowed the basic human right of free speech and I have used it against my English 'lords.' Rather than falling in line like all good chaps do.
If you're not willing to conform to the rules that were set up by this internet community, there will be repercussions. When you signed up to be a member, you promised to play by the rules. If you can't do that, please show yourself out.
Quote:If you want me to fall in, then make a rule that mandates me/Christians to fall in. If you want your one sided arguements, then make a rule that says Christians are not allowed to talk back, if you want to be treated with kid gloves then make a rule that says you need to be treated with kid gloves, while you shat on everyone else. In short just stop pretending to be liberal, open minded, free thinking douche bags. Take off the masks you hide behind, and just be who you really are. You're only fooling yourselves anyway.
Go over to the A+ forums and see what real oppression is and stop wasting my time.
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
