Atheism +

[Lion IRC]

I think it was the reference to Adam Lee/Ebonmuse having decided to get married in that church and him ALSO being a member of Atheism Plus forum.
Not sure if they realised that fact before they started in on UU folk demanding to know how they reconcile their universalism with bad/naughty/ebil Christianity.

They turned the blowtorch, (the wrath of Flewellyns' nose-lasers,) onto me when I agreed with Claire-B that core religious values dont include the things we were being asked to defend/reconcile.

I specifically said I hold core religious views and yet I find all of those things The_Laughing_Coyote posted disgusting and abhorrent.

Flewellyn (the Mod) claimed that I was stating something as fact but in a moment of poor reading/comprehension xie conflated the holding of an opinion with an assertion of fact.

The only FACT I had to defend was that I really DO believe those are not core religious values. It is a FACT that I hold that POV.

I did offer to debate the proposition made by The_Laughing_Coyote but I dont think they wanted me to do that.

Then came the....bible says witches should put to death. Thats horrible. ETC.

And I responded along the lines of....only real witches, right? It doesnt say people who ARENT witches should be put to death.

And then in the middle of typing my next post....zap.

On undernet #atheism they would at least give you some warning.

The Chan Ops would let you know a boot was coming....

It's only a week.
I can hold my breath.
