I think the outrage at his comments speaks a lot louder than his posts do about what kind of site this is.

Thank you for the concise and cogent answser. Perhaps you should get some mods on this board who see things as you do instead of the biased (or absent, in barfo's case) people now in that position?
 
Moderating only happens to those the mods don't agree with.

It's the same thing at happened at BBF. Different standards of moderating based on subjective standards. It is a recipe for a board meltdown.

If you hate it so much here why don't you leave? All you do is complain about other posters and other posters threads.
 
Calling for and then allowing the postings for the killing of people does nothing to advance any point of debate.

Again, what kind of board are you running here?

Mod Envy. I swear about 20% of your posts are mod envy posts where you lament on not being a mod and not having a board that's perfectly perfect just to you.

I take offense to people advocating the extermination of all people who follow any religion.

Why did you post it and then edit it away?
 
Saying that would get you kicked out of or black balled from most churches in the USA.

Saying you want to exterminate people based on their religion on a public message board will get the attention of the FBI.

Enjoy it. You are on the list. :tsktsk:
 
I have been told I can't comment any more on this matter.

A person's political persuasion isn't a qualification for the job here, except in the politics and religion forum. The kinds of things we look for in mods are their willingness to be online enough to catch spam posts and to keep the peace and mostly to be of assistance wherever possible. And especially to be lenient with people, avoid the Mods with God Power Complex thing.

I found Ed O's responses were quite critical of the line of thinking by the poster (Milkshake) and that the other mods didn't have to step in and do anything beyond what Ed was doing. Consider them a team, and a pretty good one, IMO.

I already posted I am offended by the guy's line of reasoning. No other posters have agreed with his reasoning. All the posts in response to him have been highly critical, which again says a lot about the kind of people we have here and the site in general.

It'd be a very different thing if he were using our PM system to organize a gang to go out and actually kill people (or using the forums otherwise).

When it comes to religious and political speech, it is a lot to ask of us to squash it. People are passionate about their beliefs in these things, and disagreements are notorious (the things not to talk about at the dinner table, for example).
 
I think disagreements are fine. I honestly dont care if he believes in the bible or not. not my problem. But to say that an entire people should die because of what they believe in is taking it way to far. Am I allowed to say I think Milkshake should die for his post? I would never say that or wish that, but I just would like to know if I would get in trouble for it. Hypocrites if you say I do.
 
Careful...you're sounding like Joe Pesci in Casino, right before he figures out he has to go to Loughlin to play a slot machine :)
"That black book's a joke. It's only got two names in it. And one of them's still Al Capone!"
 
Right band but are you sure if it was that album this art is from?...I dont think so but im not sure

Yeah, it's from Aenima. I was mistaken, it's not the album cover, but it's one of the inserts.

Also: PapaG, quit yer bitchin. Everyone stopped caring about what someone said on the internet a long time ago and you keep necroing this thread to prove some point about the mods not editing him when you got all butthurt. Snore.
 
Just pick up the Wizard of Oz, and worship the wizard instead. He never advocates violence, and if he loves you, he gives you emerald slippers you can click together over and over again, repeating "There is no place like home" and show up at home, missing all the traffic. The Wizard of Oz religion absolutely rules!!!:devilwink:
 
Bump

Mods here don't care if posters suggest killing people based on their religious preference.

What "good Christian" hasn't done the same thing?

Seriously, read up a little on wartime history then get back to me.

You live and worship in a glass house.

The problem is that people are equating Christianity solely with the more extreme, fundamentalist Christianity that a bunch of the Baptist churches practice, when that is only a fraction of Christianity and not the majority.

Some people maybe, not me.

I think anyone who's gullible enough to blindly follow such childish nonsense as Christianity, Hinduism, or any of the hundreds of other silly mythologies, and illogical enough to get upset when they're called on it, is likely a serious threat to society in many ways.

History has continually proven me right for thousands of years.

Martin Luther King Jr. was a reverend.

How does that fit your view?

Doesn't alter it.

As with most reverends, ministers, pastors, and grand poobahs, it's all about the Title.

An egotistical power grab for attention and respect. Putting themselves 1 step down from God, and 1 step above everyone else.

MLK was not a believer in God, nor in heaven and hell, as was obvious with how he mis-behaved as a man.

He committed more "sins" than most people, cheated on his wife and lied to his friends and family.

His "cause" was indeed "his".

MLK working for equality for "his" race is on a par with Michael J Fox working for a cure for Parkinsons Disease.

They both have a vested interest.

Had MLK worked for a cure for Parkinsons Disease, and MJF worked for equality for blacks, causes they would not benefit from personally, I would hold both in higher esteem.

But they didn't, so I take their accomplishments with a grain of salt.

It's easy to look at history and pick and choose people that did bad things, and point to their religion as a reason. Of course, almost every leader in the history of mankind has been a follower or a purported manifestation of some faith.

What purely secular leaders have not been serious threats? Another question might be which leaders have been purely secular.

Stalin is the most prominent leader of a faithless state that I can think of off the top of my head.

Religion doesn't make people stupid or evil or the powerful people dangerous. It's just a conduit for the things that are in all of us, and even as a non-religious person I think it's naive and even ridiculous to assume that if religion were gone that the world would be better. There would still be wars and poverty and Carrot Top.

Your logic is horrible here.

Civil Rights Legacy

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tbody><tr><td class="body" align="left">Union Baptist Church of Baltimore > About Us >
clear.gif

</td></tr></tbody></table>The church has an extremely rich history in the civil rights movement, starting in 1892 with its withdrawal from the Maryland Baptist Union Association because of its discrimination. In 1897, Rev. Dr. Harvey Johnson was the minister who organized the Colored Baptist Convention. Johnson, a friend of W.E.B. DuBois, established the Niagara Movement, which was a prototype for the NAACP. He also filed a lawsuit to gain equal pay for black teachers and to make it possible for black lawyers to practice in the state of Maryland. The planning meetings preceding the Niagara Movement were at Union Baptist Church. Dr. Johnson also filed lawsuit and won the first case in the U.S. striking down the identification of Negroes as cargo in interstate commerce. During this time thirteen churches were established from Union's congregation, five of which are still in existence today.

Long Description:
In addition to being a national tourist destination and the continental United States' oldest city, St. Augustine was also a pivotal site for the civil rights movement in 1964. Despite the 1954 Supreme Court act in Brown v. Board of Education, which ruled that the "separate but equal" legal status of public schools made those schools inherently unequal, St. Augustine still had only 6 black children admitted into white schools. The homes of two of the families of these children were burned by local segregationists while other families were forced to move out of the county because the parents were fired from their jobs and could find no work.

This church was founded on May 25, 1875, and led by the inspiring Reverend Ivory Barnes its first minister. The present edifice, occupied beginning in 1937, has held high the banner of Christ inspired in its earlier days by the spirit of the Emancipation Proclamation and The Reconstruction following The Civil War. St. Mary's occupied a unique position at the foot of Lincolnville, and stands tall as a beacon of freedom and hope.

During the era of the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s in St. Augustine, this church, through the stout-heartedness of its minister and NAACP leader, Reverend Thomas A. Wright, and other local leaders, was the site of mass meetings and a respite for the foot soldiers on the road in the quest for civil and human freedoms. These crusading examples, sustained through St. Mary's Missionary Baptist Church, ordains it the Birthplace of the Civil Rights Movement in St. Augustine.

Ed O.

It certainly does.

I believe if I step in front of a speeding car I will get hurt, maybe crippled or killed, so I don't step in front of a speeding car. Duh.

I don't believe there is a hell where I'll burn in hellfire forever if I don't worship the mythical "God", so I don't worship the mythical "God".

Anyone who actually believed in hell would never risk ending up there for eternity. Not for any reason.

I know I wouldn't.

For MLK's sake, let's all hope I'm right so he's not burning in hellfire as we speak.
 
There is no greater hypocrite than a man of the cloth.
 
Gutenberg invented the printing press to mass produce copies of the bible that were previously hand copied by monks.

Without the bible and the need to mass produce copies of it, the printing press may or may not have been invented, but certainly many many years later.

I guess public education would be great with books copied by... well, there wouldn't be monks in your world, so... I guess there wouldn't be books copied by anyone.

There's no one in the world who hasn't sinned. By your logic, does that mean no one is a member of any religion?
 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregor_Mendel

Gregor Johann Mendel (July 20, 1822<sup id="cite_ref-0" class="reference">[1]</sup> – January 6, 1884) was a German speaking Austrian Augustinian priest and scientist, and is often called the father of genetics for his study of the inheritance of traits in pea plants. Mendel showed that the inheritance of traits follows particular laws, which were later named after him. The significance of Mendel's work was not recognized until the turn of the 20th century. Its rediscovery prompted the foundation of the discipline of genetics.
