Impeach madnak - Page 2 - Religion, God, and Theology

No offense but I think you've got to take it easy on Judaism. I think you've over simplified the relationship between Judaism and Christianity and are going a bit too hard on Judaism.

When even Splenda is telling you that you need to tone down the anti-semitism, you know that you've gone WAY over the line.

What are you talking about. I've always been rather pro-Judaism.

I even linked to a Jewish charity site a couple of years ago.

The wilder people on here are the atheists running anti-religious articles constantly like it is representative of all religious people. All it does is keep your minds in a hardened frame so you can't distinguish between the good religious people and the bad people and that says something about you. For some reason you have personalized everything to such a degree that you want all religious people to be evil.

Wow, spent a week away on vacation in Florida, only to log on and find this. Interesting...to say the least. Although i admire Madnak's intellect, i too believe that his views are too biased to fairly and impartially moderate this particular board. I agree with most of his disciplinary/moderative decisions and actions, but too often does he cynically intervene in many theological discussions, supporting only one side of the argument. A moderator should be open to all forms of thought, without any opinions of his own. If he chooses to take stances, he should be relieved of his role as moderator.

You won't find someone willing to mod this place who isn't also interested in the subject matter, and if you are, taking stances and having opinions is inevitable. It's ridiculous to require mods to have no opinions on the stuff discussed in their forum.

And Madnak definitely does not "cynically intervene in theological discussion on one side of the argument". If anything, he gives *both* sides way too much rope.

Pretty much anything goes in this forum. If Madnak started moderating this forum by the same standards as are applied in the Politics forum, half of the posters here (both theists and atheists) would find themselves banned.

It's just people tend to get too hotheaded and personal on here and he has to clean up the threads. But yes his bias definitely comes through.

Further evidence for the impeachment of Madnak:

I started a thread with the OP below. Note that I said I was going to try my best to refrain from commenting further in the thread. I probably should have said I absolutely wouldn't. For what its worth, I hadn't despite baiting from Hopey. My thread didn't last very long and was closed.

Quote:

Hi guys,

Recently I've made some posts regarding the RELIGION of Judaism. Apparently that is off the table here for some reason (I have an idea why of course) and have had those posts deleted.

Perhaps I'm an insensitive savage or the like and am not worthy of discussing that particular religion.

I would like to make a place for the enlightened atheist to comment on this religion and show the savages (non "atheists") how it should be properly addressed. Using your superior logic and education, I'd like to hear what you think the "rules" are. What is acceptable and what is antisemitic.

Or, just say anything you'd like about this religion so we can bask in your wisdom. Here is your soapbox. Hop on it.

I, of course, will try my hardest not to reply or comment as I would most likely taint the thread causing massive deletion of posts, and therefore, a waste of you precious time.

Here is Madnaks explanation for closing the thread. I admire his honesty (well somewhat) I guess (lol) but wtf?

Quote:

I'm going to explain this clearly for you, str8. For you, on this forum, nothing. No discussion of Jews, Judaism, anything like it. Other posters can apply their judgment, but for you it's a no-tolerance policy and infraction will be given for any further posting on the matter.

The double standard applies because I'm a nasty guy and double standards are normal for us types.

My whole point of the thread was to hear other people apply their judgment as clearly outlined in my OP.

Whenever madnak closes threads, jhis reasoning always makes me laugh. Especially that anti-semnite thread recently closed.

Also Splendour got something right. THIS thread has blown my mind

You can't accuse people of being "secret Jews in league with Satan" in one thread, and then expect everyone to forget that accusation when you create another thread to discuss "the Jewish question" the next day.

(Even if that were an issue, which it isn't)

Religion may be an open and shut case for you. It doesn't mean it is for him. People's ideas and positions adjust all the time. That's why they debate. So they can re-think things.

Besides you don't give me much credit. My comments may be controversial but they spark all kinds of people posting and starting up new threads. New posters in here even choose avatar names that obviously my posts inspired.

You can use last paragraph at your discretion. You might be able to comment, I dont know if your considered worthy or not.

Your obviously going to have to risk inserting the J word somewhere also

Once you strip the agenda out of the post, it's not worth discussing. With the agenda, it's not allowable. Talk about it somewhere else. 2+2 isn't some bastion of free speech, it's a favor extended to us by the site's owners.

RGT has standards, you know. We don't accept just any old irrationality.

Fair enough. I am going to let it go i guess. Coming into this I was pretty sure my theory was correct, now I have no doubt.

You win "atheists". Opposition crushed. Propaganda spread. Culture infiltrated. 2+2 is officially on "lock". I wonder how long you'll dare to allow even this post to last. It may raise questions.

I missed the threads before they were deleted - was Str8 accusing ALL atheists of being "secret Jews in league with Satan" or ALL Jews of being in league with Satan, or both, or just those who contribute to RGT on 2+2? Anyways, I have now been given the desire to read the Torah and look forward to the learning I will gain from doing so.

Oh, seems like I have already read the Torah as according to Wiki its the first 5 books of the Bible!
