I gave a scripture-based answer to a direct question. Since this is the Christianity sub-forum, I think I really ought to be allowed to explain my faith using my scriptures. The question and answer related to the Christian worldview.
A scripture based argument would have been fine: just plain scripture is not. Surely you can see why, in a discussion forum, for people to discuss things, in discussions, we might want to discourage people from just posting copy/paste walls of text from elsewhere?
Quote:Now, if you would rather just ban me rather than see the word of God posted in your forum, knock yourself out.
That's not it, and you know it: it's easy to see a large number of posts with quotations from scripture here that go by without incident, even ones that you yourself have posted, because they contain within them original argumentation, not exclusively scripture. This attempt to poison the well by making our actions here about persecuting your religious views rather than your unwillingness to post original content is not only profoundly dishonest, it's also trivially easy to disprove. We have a new user here called freedom4me, he has a thread of his own here, and a number of his posts have contained bible verses about as long as the one you posted, but he has not had any trouble from our team at all.
Why? Because he also includes his own thoughts in those posts too. Therefore, this claim of yours that we're doing this because we just hate the bible is falsified. I'd like a retraction, if you're capable of being that honest: here's a nice long bible quote from the young man for you to peruse, if you insist on this ridiculous notion that we're just doing this because we hate god's word.
Quote:But your heavy-handedness in this regard gives the appearance that you are afraid of being confronted by the truth of God's Word. If God does not exist, then meaningless Bible verses shouldn't trouble you in the least. But they do, don't they?
What troubles me is you coming to this discussion forum and not discussing things, and then playing the persecution card like a whiny, passive aggressive child when you're called on it. You breaking the rules does not mean we hate your god.
Quote:And be honest, if I were an atheist, you wouldn't give a damn what I posted as long as it fit your personal belief system.
We've banned atheists for doing exactly what you're doing. You can't give a single example of this double standard you're asserting, but as usual you're happy to go on saying things with no evidence, so long as it allows you to continue making slimy assertions.
Quote:So, either I defend my faith my way, or you can ban me and go back to telling yourselves that you really showed another Christian what for.
I'm happy either way
So you basically think that your religious views allow you to dictate to us what the rules are in our own forum, and if we don't bend the rules whenever you break them while mentioning Jesus, we just hate you and your god.
Where the fuck do you get off?
