ZOT! Why the constant posts on religion?
None but me

Posted on 02/26/2010 11:53:37 PM PST by knowshon

I have always thought this was a great site to get great political info. I come here for political/journalistic references. If you are going to make your queries 'Religious,' why not go to the religious talking board. I have been slammed here on what people believe is my perceived religion. These were for comments which didnt mention religion, and didnt have religious overtones. I

I do sometimes wonder what decent folks who are Muslims think of what they read here.

I do sometimes wonder what bloodthirsty jihadist Muslims think of what they read here. There, that's better.

I don't wonder about bloodthirsty jihadist Muslims who might find their way here. No doubt they think we're all going to hell, filthy kaffirs, etc.

I am thinking of Muslims who worship God and want to live a good life, and don't know, care about, or interpret differently Islamic injunctions to kill, rape, and enslave. There must be many of them.

Trying to incite more flame wars on threads with ‘religion’ in them again tactical.

Is that a statement or a question?

Well, we have a difference of opinion, and it's unlikely that I'm going to agree with you or STFU because you don't like it,

I don't want you to be silent, I'm just pointing out that you complain over and over again about persecution that doesn't exist. And I don't need you to agree with me to point out facts for observers to consider.

For example, Coyoteman was accusing people who disagreed with him on evolutionary science of being part of an effort to overthrow the United States government and constitution, replacing it with a narrow Protestant theocracy that would commit massive human rights violations. Oh...and then he gave JimRob the finger. Another poor persecuted evo, zotted for not being a creationist, right?

Although this probably isn't what got her zotted, xcamel was calling people who who disagreed with her on evolutionary science "the Taliban" and, as you probably recall, decided that the anniversary of 9/11 was a great time to double down on that.

And need I discuss the many evos who talk smack about this site at Darwin Central and expect to be treated like loyal members?

The bottom line is that there are/have been evos and creationists on this site who are hateful jerks. When someone gets banned for being a hateful jerk, saying they were banned because FR hates science (or "the mods let the evos get away with murder," blah, blah, blah) is just whining. You can call it something else, but whining is what it is.

Got an example? It should be easy to find one if I'm doing it "over and over".

Post 128 in this thread, for starters.

And 7 times on this thread alone a span of less than 150 posts...

The reason I’m picking that one is because I distinctly recalled you whining about supposed creationist efforts to have evos banned. They were especially memorable because they looked so silly in a thread where a guy who had been accusing people of trying to overthrow the Constitution was finally banned because he violated Niven’s First Law and started throwing poo at an armed man. Yeah, the creationists waterboarded him into doing those things.

I’m sure I could find more examples if I was willing to wade through page after page of search results, but I have a life.

You don’t think there’s anything it Paine’s writings on religion that would get him banned if expressed on a crevo thread?

No, it was especially memorable, so I searched it out.

I doubt it. I admit I haven't read The Age of Reason as a whole work, but I really believe the quotes I've seen from it are no worse than stuff I've watched the mods tolerate for months or years here. I also doubt he accused George Washington or John Adams of being traitors to the Republic, but xcamel, Coyoteman and CE2949BB were accusing creationists of that on a regular basis and weren't banned for it.

I'm not complaining about the mods. I'm saying the persecution isn't there, and whining about the hypothetical persecution of a dead man is still whining.

That's your opinion, and you're entitled to it. Do you have anything to add, or are you finished?

Sure, something I proved was occurring was a delusion.

Yeah, I imagined the people who were keeping score back during the crevo wars, and the ones who've told me repeatedly "You don't belong here, go back to DU or DC where you belong."

I imagined all of that. It just never happened.

Perhaps you have a fertile imagination.

Seriously, though, when I said persecution, I was talking about the whole “you’re trying to get us all banned” meme; I wasn’t saying everyone was nice to you at all times.

I think it's no less likely you have a selective memory,

I never said anybody was "trying to get us all banned". Not everbody is nice to me all the time, and nobody is trying to ban everyone.

Forget it. It was just a passing comment and it was not even directed to you - although it was on open board so of course your comments are legit. You are just making more of it than was intended. If I don’t like those threads, I can just pass over them. Personnally, I just don’t place that much weight on religion that I have to mix it up in conversation and events.

Someone who claims to have been posting here 10 years and doesn’t know what a retread is???????

Do you remember when we had to switch of the html tags when a previous poster would forget to and the entire thread after that would be in whatever html command they left open? Did you note that the format of my posting is in keeping with FR conservative posting style? Perhaps your "retread" is only a few years old. Sorry if I can't keep up with all your new fangled posting terms. Us old FRuddy duddys just can't keep up with you young whipper snapper's trendy lingo.
