The Religion section just got an extreme makeover.

Now, just to clarify again:

This is the RELIGION section. It is NOT the Christianity section, and it is not the anti-Christianity section. It is not the bash Islam section. It is NOT the "I am right and you are wrong" section.

Can you disagree with each other? Yes. Can you dispute the validity of beliefs? Yes.

Can you do it in a respectful manner? Also YES.

Keep it clean. Variety is the spice of life, open your minds a bit and try to understand where everyone is coming from.

Cool. Now just moderate it equally and this should be good.

There ya go... fairly moderated.

What happened? Did someone get really out of line or did you just decide to unnecessarily flex your mod muscle? I can understand if someone complained but if you just came over and did this because you just felt like it, well, that's pretty chickenshit. In fact, if I recall correctly, Batman and Cosborne were posting over here and they didn't see fit to do this. Also, your own rules for the section do not specify that it cannot become heavily argued from a Christian POV. Think about it, you might be the only person around here having any ties to anything but Christianity. What I observe is Christian topics being disputed by athiests. No one seems to be bringing the praises of Muhammed. I can't help that.

What I observe is useless, pointless bible text being posted all the time. It takes up a ton of space, and no one fucking reads it. Stop.

Wrong. If we're debating christianity we have to use the bible, therefore it is not useless and pointless.

exactly

kevin always uses his mod privileges in short stints, you have to understand that, consistent moderation has never occurred here, which is why it gets out of hand

funny you should mention that.....because the only time it doesnt get out of hand is when you are banned.....hmmmm, strange coincidence, dontcha say???

What happened? Did someone get really out of line or did you just decide to unnecessarily flex your mod muscle? I can understand if someone complained but if you just came over and did this because you just felt like it, well, that's pretty chickenshit.

No, I got multiple complaints, and most of the threads were turning into the same tired old, "You're a fucking asshole, diaf" bullshit that always seems to happen in here.

In fact, if I recall correctly, Batman and Cosborne were posting over here and they didn't see fit to do this.

And I can't speak for their decision making any more than they can speak for mine. I spend more time in here than any of the other mods, and it seems most of the complaints are via direct PM to me, not the report button, so maybe they just don't know about it. Who knows?

Also, your own rules for the section do not specify that it cannot become heavily argued from a Christian POV.

Argue all you want, just be respectful. You can heavily argue things without completely shitting all over the other person. Notice that I heavily dispute Christianity, but not once have I said that all Christians should be shot, tortured, etc.

Think about it, you might be the only person around here having any ties to anything but Christianity. What I observe is Christian topics being disputed by athiests. No one seems to be bringing the praises of Muhammed. I can't help that.

And what I see are Christians who feel that their faith is better than everyone else's, being exceptionally judgmental, and acting very un-Christian.

I'm going to back Kevin on this one.

And we all know that my style of moderating is different.......

Well, one thing that is going to be really consistent is, if there is no improvement in behavior, this section is going to die a sudden death.

It's not your message that bothers me, it's the behavior in delivering it.

Someone needs to place their palm of their hand on Mark's forehead and jerk away suddenly and recite, "Come Out... I command u demon!"

No, I got multiple complaints.

Fair enough, Kevin, I didn't know. What I don't understand is people on a forum getting their panties bunched up over an insult. You big babies. You know who you are. You girly men. Soft skinned nuggas who don't mind dishin' it out but can't take it and then you gotta go cryin' to Kevin like he's your mammy. Wha! Wha! Little B*tches, that's what you are.

The complaints are coming for your camp big guy, might want to check yourself.

LMMFAO!!!! Thank you so much Bx for finally telling Marky he's a bitch....

A lot of these people don't seem to even give a shit what they're arguing about as long as they are arguing.. It's not about religion, it's about some fucked up personal vendetta on the internet, so of course it's always going to get personal and nasty when it was never intended to be a "religious debate" in the first place

ha

I'm reasonable with reasonable people...not many of those here

I'm intolerant of jerks, and always will be

hmm....interesting...

which completely explains the way you treated that guy that came in here some time back, the one who knew you, the guy that treated you with nothing but respect? No insults, no insinuations, no accusations, not as much as one curse in your direction....and you treated him like shit on a stick!

He talked about praying for you, and the like....and you were flat-out rude and insulting to him. You have no excuse. You can stop spinning the tales anytime now.

horse shit....the guy merely talked to you about what he said he knew and you turned on the BS nozzle and got defensive right away. Apparently you two knew each other--that would give him the right to talk about what he knows first hand. You dont get the right to take that away from him or treat him like shit because of it. And thats all you did. You didnt have one nice thing to say to him, you showed zero respect....

Chill the **** out. Both of you. Do we need to form a drum circle and smoke a **** load of weed so we can bond? (I know Dak is down.)

Let us all recite St. Andrew's Novena:

Hail and blessed be the hour and moment in which the Son of God was born of the most pure Virgin Mary, at midnight, in Bethlehem, in piercing cold. In that hour, vouchsafe, O my God! to hear my prayer and grant my desires, through the merits of Our Saviour Jesus Christ, and of His Blessed Mother.

Amen.

jonnie, for the 10,000th freakin time, let me spell it out for you and see if sinks through you mile thick concrete skull:

I do NOT respect you...period...most people share that opinion, even Jim Labreck, who can't stand me...your constant diatribe falls on deaf ears here because you're a babbling pervert that talks about God one minute and jerking off the next

so, SAVE IT....I made mistakes in the past and I will make more in the future, I don't dwell on the past, what's done is done, and I do NOT hear rebukes from pieces of shit excuses for humanity like YOU

type out another postal rant, it will be ignored!!!

Sorry chum. This was reported. I am expecting a ban under the new rules.

Actually, what happened was Marky decided to lie, once again, and bring my online tangle with TWR (-another uber-ChristiaNazi fruitloop) that happened YEARS AGO on the rx7club, in reference to when we first "met" online. He was uninvited, but felt the need to poke his Christian-Penis into an Internet glory-hole where he thought he could win a "God Trumps All" bullshit fight with someone who actually did NOT accept him as an ally. Ultimately, after refusing to accept the fact that I owned his ass several times, Mark's assholeness got him banned, -for the 25th time.
He brings this up from time to time when he's arguing with skydivr. I dunno why, really.
I came on and saw it last night, again, HERE, in the "religion"...errr, cough-cough, "Mark's 'Why God Hates You'" forum, and adamantly defended myself.
Kevin finally got pissed off and threw the whole thing in the toilet after Marky PMed him 8 times, whining like a little BITCH.
-Cause that's exactly what Mark is, a little BITCH.


THAT'S what happened.
Mark can't fucking control himself, and acts and types and talks down to people like he's an extension of the Alfuckin'mighty, but he's not. Unfortunately, none of the other Christian boneheads here can seem to muster the courage to tell Mark how wrong he is. They're all so worried about vehemently defending the faith that they seem to forget that Mark uses it as a tool to be hateful. spiteful and vengeful.
Wake the fuck up, people. Mark does NOT accurately represent the Christian faith.

Sorry chum. Reported. You should be banned under the new rules.

...and yer point issssss......?
I mean, after all, you keep meandering in here for what, not to watch? :40oz:

have you really managed to go through 445 posts without ever making a single worthwhile point?
it seems that an ape banging on a typewriter would hit something meaningful at least once out of 445 tries

Queen, this isnt smacktalk. Please dont come in here just to pick a fight. In here we're trying to encourage everyone to engage deeper issues beyond the incorherant responses. You are always welcomed here but if you dont bring substance, I'm afraid you'll just incite anger and get yourself or others banned. Please find you way into smacktalk section if that is your fancy and call them out there.

Queen, you know it, I know it. But lets give the Mods a chance and support their idea of a better place to visit without rampant smacktalk. You know it is hard for me so wouldnt it be easy for you to just ignor people here and styart shit in smacktalk?

obviously I agree that there are better things to discuss in this forum than YZF's prostate (as I already stated in this thread).. but that certainly doesn't mean that we should go around pretending things are all rainbows and ponies. I'm a smartass, and I shall remain a smartass.. a smartass quip does not automatically equal a personal attack

czar, Queen owns your ass.

pretty much everyone does

czar, Queen owns your ass.

Now things are getting kinky, ja?
