Oh, give it a rest you fucking child.
It's an insult to suggest that someone's sexuality is different than what it is. If you repeatedly called me gay, I would be insulted. Not because you called me gay, but because I would have told you I'm not, and wheedling at it would be insulting. Catch the key word? Repeatedly.
If you repeatedly called a gay person straight, that would be offensive, too.
I hope you are proud of yourself.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Often we've had reports about posts that 'people don't like', theist and atheist alike, but we don't action on it, not for that reason alone anyway.
For example, some of the things you've said on this thread have been outright lies and misrepresentations of the facts. But I don't want to ban you because of it.
We don't ban people because of their beliefs, after all. If that were true, and there's an inherent bias against theists on here, then why does it not say banned under your name? False dichotomy. That you're biased against theists doesn't imply that you must ban all theists.

Go fuck yourself, John. If we were biased, you'd have been booted a *long* time ago.

Again saying that it's an insult to be gay. Amazing.
Reading comprehension, you insufferable fuck.
The adverb attached to "one's sexuality" is "attacking", not "insulting". I don't consider it to be an insult (which wouldn't be against the rules), but a personal attack.
Again, please, go fuck yourself. Or keep up with the trolling. Your choice.

We're actually biased against -action- Alpha (and our system of Q introduces further bias against action if only through absence). You don't have access to the portion of the forums where this stuff happens, and so you not having realized that we act only on a small portion of what we receive -regardless of whom it comes from or is in reference to- is understandable. Now you know what our bias is, so you can rest easy at night in the knowledge that it actually takes quite alot to ruffle a mods official feathers, and even more for those ruffled feathers to amount to action, eh?

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.

So thanks for proving yourself wrong that we ban people based on their beliefs (re: your comment about an inherent bias against a given demographic with an obvious inference).
thanks also for agreeing with the rest of my post by not replying to it. I appreciate your continued support to the forum and the staff.

Oh poor you. Still not in possession of the facts.
It's sweet that you're trying though. Keep reaching for that rainbow, John, you'll reach it one day!
