Aaaaand I've Been Banned...

[Autumnlicious]

Questions are dangerous to the unquestioning

[KichigaiNeko]

Yep...very fragile faith these theists have...of whatever flava you want to name.

[Brunitski]

I'm sorry, but I can't stop looking at that site; I know I shouldn't but I am helpless with hilarity! Wait, Wait, Wait... check this out:

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??

[FallentoReason]

Yeah, Viole has somehow managed to write 2 181 posts which are (most likely) all against Christianity to different degrees.

I still can't believe I got banned for asking a member to show me evidence that he essentially claims is all around us for "GOD".

I cant believe I got banned from a place I have been posting at for 4000+ posts. Waddya gonna do?

*Mods are volunteers. (Either he goes or I do.)
*Rules are open to interpretation. (He's too insipid. He's too inflammatory)
*Yep, some people cant handle opposing ideas. (Ban that FUXXXR NOW!!!!!)

FallentoReason, if they want to talk to you and refute what you say, make them come to you.

Banning someone whose arguments are really bad seems counter intuitive. And denying forum members who disagree with "XYZ" an opportunity to publically challenge the supporter of "XYZ" is pretty much an own goal

What was their reason for banning you? 4 000+ posts.. it must have been a real good reason I hope :/

I wish I could make them come here, especially that waldoz guy. I don't know how to though, coz in my introduction I linked this forum but it got removed because you're not allowed to post stuff that is "offensive or mocking God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit". This is the sort of stuff that would make me and the admins lock horns, because it seemed like my own beliefs were seen as "mockery"..... how the hell do you expect me to debate then?? Or was I supposed to shut up and just be talked to by the other side? It's ridiculous..

Anyways, I went on a bit of a rant there, but yeah, I don't know how I could get them to join this forum.

[Minimalist]

We get enough bible-thumping shitheads here. None of them have anything different to offer. Jesus this....jesus that...jesus the other thing.
It's all shit.

Here's the thing.

This was the straw that broke the camels back.

1. Premise. Lion IRC is a blatant "XYZ'' (Insert favorite personal epithet, nazi, bigot, homophobe, pedophile, atheist, republican, democrat...)
2. Premise. We know he is an "XYZ" because of the content of his posts.
3. Premise. Promoting "XYZ" is contrary to the FUA. Expressly prohibited.

Conclusion.
Either the Moderators believed that Lion IRC's posts contravened the FUA and chose to do nothing;
or
Nobody ever reported the FUA breach;
or
Lion IRC's posts did not contravene the FUA and that infuriates some folk.
or
The Mods were ignorant of the FUA.

Quote Luke 15:7 to them.

Remind them where Jesus first went to start His ministry - to the Jordan River, to be baptised among ordinary sinners.

Point out that going door-to-door to talk about the Gospel (See Acts 20) requires that we must first knock in order to receive.

Ask them... if you love only those who love you, what credit is that?

Of course, if they still dont want to engage in discussion with you thats their business.
The bible says if you visit somewhere and they dont want to listen to what you have to say, then (and only then) just leave.
No hard feelings.
...here have your dust back, it's making my sandals uncomfortable.

I was getting this from everyone but in terms of my anger towards "GOD" that I didn't even know about. "Your posts say it all--you're angry at God".

You're right! I should remind them that the Great Age of Pisces

is about to end next century (2150 A.D. I believe it is) so they should hurry and get us saved. It will then be the age of Aquarius (the next passover: “As you enter the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him to the house that he enters (Luke 22:10)).

On a side note, maybe that's why Mithraism wasn't popular, because that was so last age! The age of Taurus

Sorry, couldn't help myself... but yes if only they looked up at the stars would they realise they should mix with heathens.

Try this method.

...Would there be a Mod who might kindly volunteer to proof check a post I would like to make here?
It might help to preempt any backseat moderation by non-Mods after I post something...
