You appear to be mistaken.

seriously though I think you misunderstand ASDF's avatar.

In the UK it is rude to flash someone a "v" signal with your hand correct?

That is not rude in the US, it is a difference in cultures.

I agree with the spirit of what you are saying.
Christianity and the morals that go along with it are not something that should be forced on people

Not even God himself forces his morals onto people.
I don't understand why Christians feel the need to force their morals on to other people.

No one is going to want to play by the rules of a game they don't want to play in the first place.

While that is a reasonable response the bolded is completely untrue. The old testament is full of cases where god killed vast numbers of people because they worshipped other gods or didnt obey the letter of his law. Obey me or die is pretty much the definition of forcing your beliefs on someone is it not? I can pull out verses if required.

Then in the new testament there are multiple instructions to go into the world preaching, again is that not forcing your beliefs on someone?

You seem to be uncomfortable with the (you must admit) widespread obnoxious behaviour of people from the same belief system as you and seem to be uncomfortable with the notion of preaching. Are you sure you need to remain a christian?

But what's he doing here if he doesn't to play the game in the first place ?

I disagree with you. It is up to people of morals and values to keep society's values going. Wrongdoers should be named and shamed as an example to others.

It's profane it means eff off. Maybe the Americans should try a bit harder not to offend others. The worst that could happen is that you would end up a bit classier.

Not here.

Maybe you should try a bit harder not to be so easily offended.

The worst thing would be that my freedom to express myself would be encroached upon.

There is a thread at the top of this forum entitled SGT Rules: Read This First.

I am discussing religious beliefs. This is not the happy clappy christianity forum to discuss how jesus bummed you in a dream last night.

Other people believe different things to you. Other people have different moral standards about what is offensive and what is not offensive.

What's more this is a religion sub forum on a poker forum. What the hell do you expect?

In conclusion:

Now that means eff off.

Don't worry I've got deaders number he's just an atheist who wants to goad and wind up genuine posters. He seems to display none of the tolerance he complains that religious people lack.

It's not "easy" offence you would be banned for posting that on many UK forums and it looks a bit rude whatever the American interpretation. Maybe you shouldn't insist on your right to offend others quite so loudly. That's the type of thing Pastor Terry Jones does.

Not all religions are as sexual repressed as he abrahamic ones. Some even worship nude and stuff. How would you react to someone in Jainism posting a picture of a nude monk. Let me guess. You would wan to restrict their perverse religion on this religious board.

Instead of enforcing your messed up moral code on everyone, just block his avatar if you dont like it.

Phew. Glad this isn't a UK forum then.

Perhaps you should work on not having such delicate sensibilities.

Perhaps you should read your bible cwoc -

1 Thessalonians 5:22 says "Avoid every kind of evil".

I would assume this includes evil images? If you find a certain forum contains evil then you should, you know, avoid it.

You are Geert Wilders' Christophobic brother and I claim my £5.

I have no intention of goading or winding up genuine posters (what is a "genuine poster" though, someone who believes the same thing as you?)

I have no compunctions about calling out bull**** though, and expecting everyone else to conform to your standards of what constitutes an acceptable image on an internet forum is bull****.

Keep on dragging it back to a personal level though, its the standard line for most christians who are bad at debating.

I don't think they wander about all over the place like that. Their religion sounds reasonable but it might not appeal to the atheists on here as one of the monastic vows is chastity.

I think you are confused batair.

Regarding the OT I would say it was God passing judgement on people.

Ultimately there is judgement.
If you don't believe in Christianity fair enough, but IMO the real issue is whether or not Christianity is true.

Regarding NT preaching:

This is far from forcing ones morals onto another person.
The death and resurrection of Jesus is supposed to be "good news"
If you don't like it or believe it you are free to reject it.
It is not Christian's job to force it down your throat.

On a religion board it's anyone who is vaguely religious or interested in religion. It is not someone who hates religious people and wants to deride them at every opportunity.

No straight answer is what i excepted. Ok what if i posted a picture of one of their nude monks or had it as my avatar?


Fwiw some religions practice nudity and sexual activity as a part of worship.

Oh yeah. Some atheists practice chastity. Think we had one that posted here a while back who considered himslef as asexual. Forgot who it was they might still post.

The monks you mentioned take a vow of chastity. I'm not sure we should allow sexy religions in here. It's not a porn forum !

Anyone else think Cwocwoc just outed himself as a troll?

What were they being judged for? Following him? Again I ask, how is this not forcing beliefs on someone if the option is believe it or be judged then killed?

Apparently you are just a troll because you repeatedly show an unwillingness or inability to read. Read the quote from the rules thread, this forum is for discussing religion not a forum for the vaguely religious.

Pointing out flaws in your beliefs and questioning behaviour that is hypocritical is not deriding you.

I changed my post up a little, but meh...

It's reasonable not to want to see nude sexual rituals featuring heavily on this board or preferably at all.
