Not at all. We are saying he is a scumbag for doing so. Lots of scumbags among the religious it seems.

Ray comfort uses a man's suicide to push evolutionVSgod

He's obviously callous about the death. It seems he degraded the cartoonist to a wasted vagabond... but he made a cool arrow pointing to his link. psh... douche bag

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing. 
Hi Everyone!

That would be absolutely fine. What isn't fine, is using the death of a human being to slander a group of people- Comfort wasn't using this as a jumping off point, but as a way to accuse atheists of having meaningless lives- and to advertise a movie that has nothing to do with the afterlife. It'd be like if I was selling hotdogs, and I did it by filming an ad that was like "christians are pedophiles. Buy some fucking hotdogs!" There's no connection between the discussion being had and the thing the post opened with. Quote:Are we restricted in what we can say and think? WOW. Some "free thought" community. You might note that we aren't trying to get Comfort shut down on this. As I explained to you yesterday, you're allowed to talk like this if you want. You just aren't absolved from criticism if you do. Why is it you think your freedom of speech should make you free from that right from others?

On the contrary, there is a very strong connection between death and AvT. Do you believe in the soul? Heaven and hell? The sanctity of human life?

I was really kinda hoping that nobody on an atheist board would ever say anything critical or abusive to someone like me.

Your freedom of speech ends at our freedom to be free of proselytizing dickholes. Besides, our "no preaching" rule is so relaxed that you'd have to be a dumbass not to get around it.

Has anyone even run afoul of it since we clarified/narrowed the definition? I honestly can't recall it happening - and indeed, you'd have to be a dumbass to not be capable of getting around it. I'll also note that the reason it was changed was to both to clarify the criteria and to allow theists greater latitude to express their position - without giving carte blanche to the ones who come here only to preach damnation without engaging in discussion. That's who the rule is targeting. In other words, the restrictions that are in place are there in order to promote discussion, which is the purpose of this forum.
