Your abandonment of discussion, argument, debate or even yelling matches in favor of blatant preaching would earn you a lifetime ban at many an atheist oriented forum. If we want to be preached at, we'll find a theist forum. Consider yourself lucky.
If you want to engage around here, please do. If all you're going to do is preach, kindly fuck off.
Galactic BusDriver,
I am not calling out the monitors. They are the ones who enforce the rules so that is why I am addressing them. I made suggestions. In addition, I started my bible study threads with asking if it were ok and I got no objections from the monitors. Also, I posted in the R'lhey thread which is supposed to have a more relaxed atmosphere. What you call preaching to me is not preaching. I had a bible study. I use the Bible and if you don't agree with it so be it. But that is my frame of reference and I believe to be truth.
Telling us something is true in your reference frame is a waste of our time unless you can demonstrate it is also true in our reference frame.
When you go on asserting something is for our own good when you can't provide acceptable evidence in our reference that it is even true, we call that preaching.
You can call it anything you want, but you will get banned for it under the no preaching rule just the same.
