Hannity gets served by an atheist... and his own stupidity

[Regina]

Right, I keep forgetting how an online forum in which people write responses to one another is just like a Fox News interview segment in which people talk over one another [emphasis added] and the clip is edited before being publicly aired.  Give your whining a rest for one day, would you?

It is actually.

Take a look at my "Why Be Good?" thread.

Starting around post 450 or so, four MODERATORS, pocaracas, Stimbo, rexbeccarox and Cthulhu Dreaming start talking about military hardware, rock biters(?) and some movie called "Tank Girl" etc.

It went on for about 50 posts or so.

One might be tempted to say that it was a deliberate attempt to de-rail the thread or filibuster or something.

So, yeah. This forum is not above shouting down anyone who disagrees with the atheist POV.

Well first off many threads on this forum go off on tangents, and far sooner than the 450th post, so it's hardly unique. I'd think by the 450th post that conversation was most likely exhausted and naturally went off another way. Changing the subject after that many posts is hardly a derailment, that was plenty of time for the conversation you wanted to be had. Also nobody was stopping you from bringing it back to the original topic if you really wanted to.

And I say this as nicely as I can, but this is an atheist platform. You're can come on here as a Catholic, that's fine, but you have to understand you are naturally going to come across people who disagree with you here. I'm not going onto a Christian or a Muslim platform to debate, because it's a waste of my time and, even if I don't agree, it's their space.

Christians hold so much space and airtime already in the Western world, sometimes people have no choice but to shout them down just so they can get a word in edge-ways. Let some of these right-wingers have their way, we'd be silenced altogether.

That's why I find the idea that America is a "secular" country laughable. You don't just call yourself "secular", secularism is an action. Until America stops privileging these parasitical right-wing creationist Republicans, it will never be a "secular" country.
