You were busy trying to get yourself lit on fire. It happens.

You think you know--what's to come, what you are. You haven't even begun.

But I don't have much else to do here at work, sadly, so I might as well give it another shot. The difference between me and you is that most of the time I am teasing or playing around, or I'm serious and respectful. I get my back up when someone is being aggressive. Yeah big deal so do most people. You, CMH, are never courteous, repectful, or as far as I can tell speaking in jest. You come in with your back up and your fangs bared. You're deliberately abrasive and consistantly unapologetic, which is what gets you the negative attention you bemoan at such great length. You can't understand that, then you have a very poor grasp of human nature. I have had serious and respectful discussions about religion on this very forum. I have no problem being rational or analytical or hearing different viewpoints if they are presented in a calm and respectful manner. Please note that I didn't go rampaging through any of the threads that were started for the Christian Browncoats. Please note I do not attack anyone just because they hold a certain view. However, if someone is going to be snarky, I'm happy to be snarky right back. I'd prefer it if there just weren't snarkiness. This is why I tried to explain that it was in FUN for the FORSAKEN to be burning bibles. It's slightly snarky to start an entire anti-forsaken thread. And I was asked flat-out what problems I have with that particular book, so I stated them. Some of them. I'm not saying it's totally without value, but much of it is offensive and outdated for our modern world, and some of it is hateful enough to be unbelievable. I've not seen another religious text that talks so much about killing and revenge and hatred. That these things would be right along-side the actually quite wonderful message that Jesus was trying to get across is appalling. http://www.bigdamnthankyou.com - show Universal your gratitude!

We're already in (virtual pretend) hell. And we've been burning bibles in our Bonfire almost since we began. Don't take us so seriously. If we're going to try not to offend anyone, we can't say anything. By the way, I find quite a few things in the bible offensive. http://www.bigdamnthankyou.com - show Universal your gratitude!

Quote:Originally posted by PhoenixRose: That's right all my friends are Forsaken and I hate everybody else, which is why I'm so active on other parts of the board and talk to so many other people. And trolls can turn me into a troll for treating them like trolls, they can say they did nothing to deserve it and then use it as an excuse to be more trollish. Oh woe, woe is the world. Notice I don't have pillars of the community calling for my head. Get a life and stop playing head games; you're the only one who thinks it's funny.

Quote:Originally posted by seryn: What gets me is that people place so much stock in a novel. Surely christianity is about faith and humanity? Oversensitivity is a dangerous thing, just open a newspaper for the reasons why. Just repeat the words 'each unto their own' and start your own clique on the board. Theres plenty of room. Boring and ineffectual lecture over.
