That's funny, because I think you were called on this particular lie in the thread you originally posted it in. Thinking
Frodos right. You call anyone that disagrees with you a liar. I keep trying to be respectful of you but really you're acting like an asshole right now.

Maybe there is something back there we might want to retrieve.
Maybe make it a game.
Regress a bit to those far back days.

Oh and Futile, I seem to remember we were made in Someone's image. Anyone for a game?

Excuse me, are you implying that we are made in the image of the god in the Bible? Well you can fuck off because I am certainly not made in the image of your god, a homicidal lunatic that craves control and shuns knowledge.
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.

I think it's ironic two of the biggest liars on the board are whining about being called liars.

Would you spare us the fucking kindergarten bullshit, Frods? It was clear to anyone with a functioning brain what you were doing, and you're not going to weasel out of it with childish sophistry.

I can post a link to the thread, if you like. We were all asked what we would think of a sign from god, the general answer was that we would investigate it as we would any other phenomena, but that the automatic assumption wouldn't be god, and you decided then that we just would never accept a sign from god no matter what, when that's not what any of us said.

That pretty much seems like a lie to me.

Fact remains Esq - I didn't quote you. Now what are you going to do about it?

You clearly antagonised the situation with your childish and unfounded accusations of "dishonesty". I'd like that removing and I'd like an apology. Otherwise we all know how to evaluate your opinions in future.

Thanks.

Well, Jesus did say that unless we became like children, we would not enter the kingdom of heaven. Which is to say that in order to find god, we must become like children... ignorant and apt to believe whatever a grown-up says without bothering to verify whether or not it's true because we don't want a beating.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Carry out the actions as dictated by the mod team's voting, and leave it at that. You're the one dragging this out by refusing to simply accept the determination of the team, here. I know it must burn to get that little slap on the wrist from me, but you should probably just learn to deal and not break the rules in future.

Good luck with that.

Yeah a slap on the wrist from you, who has the axe to grind. Best not let someone impartial do the dirty work huh Esq? Very honest of you.

Yes good luck getting you to act decently.

I'm impartial to this, fr0d0, and I think you're in the wrong.

You may not like the fact that Esquillax called you dishonest, but you dealt with it in a childish manner that is against the rules.

Like I said, five other people also voted for the same action. There is simply no way in which this represents an "axe to grind," here; whether performed by me or any other of the mod team, the result would have been the same.

What I also find interesting is that you claim you never quoted me, but then when you started whining to the mod team about this, you said that I shouldn't be acting on reports that are about me personally. Why would you say that if it was so obvious that you weren't quoting me? Thinking
