What is the Religion/Politics forum


BikeDude

Recommended Posts

that's what the politics and religion forum is for:  any idea that makes a stupid liberal "uncomfortable"

 

too bad we can't just baseball bat them up like in the Good Old Days

 

Some of us don't believe in things that don't correlate to science.  There is no reason for you to be insulting.,

there's nothing insulting about wishing we still baseball batted up lefty pinkos, like we used to do back in the good old days

 

a little senseless violence would do the lefties some good

 

teach them some respect for America

:SIGH:

 

It was started because unlike in the bicycling.com forum, the peeps here who are so-called 'christians' can't seem to look away or avoid certain threads, and instead continually offended themselves to the point that they requested another place for those topics to go.

 

The funny thing is, NATE was notorious on that other forum for posting religious stuff or using it all the time in discussions. Basically, the religious peeps here don't want anyone questioning their silly religious ideas. But it's totally fine if they bring something up...

 

So, the café is now pretty much a place for the mindless postings about life's trivial matters...

umm...except Jesus never forced anyone to do his bidding.  This alone is enough to show those who would do that are out of their ever loving minds when they try to say "its the christian thing to do"

 

 

*that should get it moved*

 

Makes sense...none of you follow what he taught anyway with all of your hatred of gays and the like....

I disagree and I'm not religious.  I think those types of discussions were moved to a separate forum because over time, they tend to undermine the goodwill and the friendly atmosphere that most of us want to maintain here.  If we wanted this place to be argumentative and filled with arrogance and hostility, we would never have left the old forum. 

 

"We" largely left the forum because the format of the software switch sucked...maybe some of you left because of the people there, but I didn't come here expecting the crazy censorship and pro-christian format that later materialized....it sure wasn't on the invite!!.

I could not have said it better.

I never saw the other place explode.... what arrogance and hostility existed? You learned to have a rationale or a good reason for anything you said or you got called out on it. Proper discussion if ever there was any. I had my own fair share of call outs where I was in the wrong. I grew a thicker skin. This place tho, it's like there's a gun ban in place....and the (Christian) police have a 2second response time.

 

The only thing I don't like about the other place, as I do here, is that people seem to have a strange intolerance for anyone whose username they recognize, and are just tired of seeing their posts on certain topics...as if that's some sort of right they have. I don't personally know any of you at all...no first names, nothing, I barely even know where any of you are from. Yeah, I recognize usernames and the like, but I don't give a fig for any sort of 'community' that some seem to want to have. Users come and go with the wind....I'm totally fine if someone entirely new is the only one who even replies...I never target anyone individually with my content...and might I add.... It's pretty common in other forums for there to be such a large userbase that recognizing someone or even a pattern is impossible unless you spend all day on the site reading everything. So the problem is in you guys if someone like me, Nate, or someone else miffs your day a bit with a topic like religion. Move the frick on.....

This place has very little "censorship".  If you want to harangue against religion or anything else, there is a separate forum here that is unmonitored just for that very purpose.  And the censoring of language and ideas is not practiced here as far as I am aware, with the exception of out and out pornography.  Where is this pro-Christian format that you speak of?  

 

Also, I can only speak for myself, but I did not leave the other forum because of the software.  That would be a silly reason to abandon a forum that you enjoyed and felt comfortable in.

that's about it in a nutshell.

Are you freaking blind man, or maybe you just ignored it because the worst offenders over there backed your view point.

 

Over the last several years, that place became very hostile to anyone who didn't think a certain way, so you just learned to avoid those discussions, of course those discussions seemed to also become more and more numerous, leaving very little worth replying too with out being berated.

It's still that way.

You've gone on quite a bit about censorship of posts.  I'd like some specific examples, since I'm the only one who can move / edit / delete others posts I would like to be enlightened.  Presumably these posts don't agree with my "silly religious ideas".  I'd like you to tell me what my silly religious ideas are?  Have I ever told you?

 

RRs sentiments reflect mine.  There is a place for anyone to enter who so wishes and there will be little to no censoring of posts there - with the exclusion of pornography.  Those posts do not represent what this place is about and I don't want bots crawling them.

And why do you need a password to get in?  Are these topics verboten here?  Do we get the dreaded warning point if we mention Obama or God.  I understand it is it's in the same sentence!

basically it is an evil place and it is not a password to get in, but keeping all the crap in there from escaping!

There are very few times that SW has deleted a thread, and when he did I think he was right to do so.

I have screenshots of the ugliness if you doubt my judgement.

Why did you keep the pictures of KT on a stripper pole? 

Thats just NASTY!!!

Problem is, is that some folks get to riled up on either side of this issue. Does'nt matter if you're following a faith or not, it's just that it is such an emotional issue, anger overrides courtesy. I like the idea of a seperate forum for these arguements....if you want to argue pro/con of faith, have at it over there.

 

As far as Mr. Squarewheels pulling posts? Please,,,,he lets us have our way without much finger wagging. I mean...he left my Santa lap dance photo up till the season was over. Can you imagine hiker leaving that photo up for more than a few minutes?

 

The forum switch at the other place was not the reason people left. The attitude of so many just went south. One example would be why Jsharr bailed. There was no reason for whatshisname the bike shop owner to go off on Jsharr the way he did, just because he teaches scouts marksmanship. I mean...that guys behavior was just pure dick.

What 'way'?.... would that be the 'not a racist bigoted Christian' way of thinking?

Olas, just give it up....

 

the reason we have to have that forum is because you can't handle people believing something other than what you want to believe

 

And some people can't respect people who believe differently.  No one says you have to believe what other's believe, you just have to respect their right to believe, but many incest on trying to put people down for it.  As he just tried to do again.  So back on the ignore list, not worth it.

I don't have to respect what they believe. That's that whole establishment mindset I've mentioned before. We're not discussing different economic approaches or the financials on a spreadsheet here, we're talking about religious issues mostly that tend to often have zero logical/moral backing other than some 2,000 year old book which was compiled edited and re-edited to fit the political agendas of various regimes in Europe. The way this has gone down is that not a one of these bozos is bringing any rationale other than 'I have faith' to these discussions....and then they have the nerve to ask that I respect that approach.

It's ok Olas....God loves you anyway.

 

Maybe 'a' god loves me, but yours doesn't exist, at least...there's maybe a .000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 chance of him actually existing..and even that number is probably an exaggeration of his chances.
