At least I'm good for something today. God knows I'm not getting any work done!

Ok really...we've heard you. Shut up already. I think that was the intention of this thread..to tell everyone to shut up about it...then you post in this thread and keep going on about it. WTF? How many times do you have to keep saying the same shit?

Thank you, Spaciegirl.

PS - I didn't attack your religion. I yelled at you for whining too much.

I think that's funny that this thread started off complaining about people arguing over religion and being insensitive to other peoples' religions, and then it turns into a "here's my story of the last time some Jesus-lover pissed me off."

Anyway, for the record, all the satanists/thelemites/atheists out there who hate Jesus do nothing but whine and complain about Christians, so it's to be expected.

So then don't get angry. Who controls your emotions, you? Or do you let others have control over your emotions?

Grow up.

I have full control over my emotions. But it makes me angry when people are close-minded and annoying. Much like yourself.

This is just a fictional show. The episodes are about 4 minutes long each. They aren't intended to arouse heated religious debates. Don't tell me to grow up. You have no respect for anyone but yourself, and that's not how you're going to get your opinions across. Coming on here and treating people like shit is not going to make your religion look any better. Please do us all a favor and take your condescending know-it-all attitude and your religious beliefs elsewhere, 'cause I have news for you: you don't know jackshit about the world. No one asked for your thoughts on religion. okaybye.

JerseyJohnny, what are your views on glossolalia and predispensationalism?

Oops! Someone spoke too soon....

You know, spaciegirl...

However much we may or may not argue...you won't find either of us coming out of the blue attacking people. But, that's been your method from the start. You don't wish to discuss anything....you simply wish to attack.

You've even stated yourself that you don't have to give reasons, you don't have to discuss..etc. Your only purpose is attacking people.

So, how is it that you can sit here with a straight face and say someone else is snarky and condescending....or anything...when you yourself have no other purpose other than attacking? You're a troll.

So then why do you say something "makes" you angry? It's your choice to get angry - you yourself are saying that you have full control over my emotions.

Now, if you choose to get angry, that's your choice, you can't blame me or anyone else for making you choose that.

As for your ad hom attacks on me, I'll choose to disregard them, considering the source.

I have respect for many people other than myself. I agree, this is a fictional series and there is no need for heated religious debates to arise from it.

I just find it ironic that the same people who complain about the heated religious debates on these boards are the same people who stir up new heated religious debates and condone those of others. I think there is quite a double (triple?) standard going on, and I'm speaking up to point it out, because I think it's ridiculous.

And nobody asked for your thoughts on anything, but you posted them. But I won't begrudge you that. This is a message forum, a forum being a venue where ideas and thoughts can be brought up and discussed. Of course, I recognize that, but since you imply that I need to be asked for my thoughts on anything, well, then I guess you don't quite understand what a "forum" is.

And why do you have such a filthy mouth? Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?

I agree with the shut up, you bunch of hypocrites. Good god, anything you people have said has been more abrasive and 'whining' than the people you accuse of it. Now, you seek them out and attack them at everyturn. Are we all 15? Seriously, get over yourselves. Can a mod lock this thread? What good is it serving? The people who are pissing on the complained area are just in here stirring up more shit.

Nora Volkova · Post by **Nora Volkova** » Thu Oct 12, 2006 7:17 am

One of the other moderators may well disagree with this post and may lock this thread as requested. But I will not do so.

Nobody on this forum has an obligation to begin or to continue reading any thread they are uninterested in. Starting thread specifically to tell other members to shut up -- not to mention setting up polls to "vote" whether people should be banned -- is not best practices in forum etiquette.

If anyone wants a model on how to politely and productively call someone else on what you perceive as their bullshit or possibly-inflammatory posting style, may I especially recommend that you follow Broken Kid (an expert at schooling mods in a friendy manner), cymatic, or SFonzarelli. I am sure that I am missing others as well, but those three have been standouts and were at the tip of my tongue in thinking about this.

People are banned when they are shown to have harassed other forum members. Threads are locked when their contents grossly violate forum rules or when they are degenerating into flamewars with virtually no content. In some cases, locked threads are unlocked again and reopened for discussion.

Discussion is volatile. Entertainment is often designed to stimulate research, debate, and personal enrichment. Anyone following the religion forum will notice that many of the more contentious threads reach a certain bubble of discontent, and then resolve into back into more rational moods.

In other words, everybody please chill out a notch. Thanks! You are all valuable members of this Phorum.
