Do religious beliefs actually have any significant bearing on moral decision making?

Almost everyone who has participated in this thread has made suggestions, politely and rudely, as to how you could go about being better received here, and therefore likely garnering the information you need, but you stubbornly declined.

Why don't you browse the introductions forum a bit to see how we normally treat newbies? Forums are run by the people who frequent them. Yes, even "open" forums. You don't get to dictate how we, as a community (because that's what we are), choose to conduct them until you've established yourself as a part of that community.

I feel that is a very accurate summary of the situation.

I have no wish to change your community as I won't be participating again but in my opinion I don't feel you have to establish yourself as part of a community to make correct judgements upon unfair practice.

I feel that whether or not it was right to post this thread (which if this forum purports to allow freedom of speech would be the former) that it was not needed to take pleasure in my mistake and to constantly ridicule it time and time again, question my academic standards, call me lazy, arrogant, "butthurt", stupid etc.

I genuinely believe you don't have a very welcoming or nice community here. Not because you all mistreated me but because you are happy to turn a blind eye to it because it is just the "freshman" who posted the thread before introducing himself anyway. Maybe You should try and practice what you preach, as many of you have bragged about the clear moral distinctions there would be between Atheists and religious people, and seem to be under the impression no scientific evidence is needed for this claim. At least the religious people unanimously welcomed me into their forums and answered my questions. Farewell.

It's highly territorial because I'm a moderator. Or do you suggest that I shouldn't do my job?

Of course not, because you are of the opinion that you haven't broken any rules, though I already proved you wrong on that point.

Quote:You probably wouldn't do that to other people in the face, why do you do it here? Just as in real life, it's impolite."

I beg to differ. I have no scruples whatsoever about telling people in their faces that they behave like asses.

Quote:It is a highly reductive metaphor and suggests that I can't come to an open forum, and make a new thread as I'm "interrupting friends" and am being rude. It is an open forum, it is not your territory.

Yes, everyone it allowed to join, but when you do, you will submit to the rules or there will be consequences. You failed to do so and here we are.

Final point - lol @Kayenneh you actually try and argue with a post you already gave "kudos" to. "Quote:

I beg to differ. I have no scruples whatsoever about telling people in their faces that they behave like asses." I didn't write this. You really do just argue with anything you seem to think I have written.
