I should have known mods will defend mods on here no matter how wrong they are. Who am I? I am just one of the posters who post here like the other posters to keep this forum a live.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I'm no mod, but thank you. I like the thought of being amongst that group of great posters. The Doctor, D-Man, Dave, Ferbian, xfearbefore, Slyfox....yeah, that's a great group to be associated with.
If you and Slyfox have such issues with Christianity/Catholics, why dont you banned them all from this board then?
Because that would be silly. And I'd have to ban myself. Yup, baptized Catholic right here.
Anywho, I can't even begin to state how stupid such an action would be, and I'm sure I don't need to tell Slyfox that either. Having issues with a religion doesn't mean that you hate everyone who follows it, and that's what you've had the hardest time understanding here. I don't hate you because you are Christian; it has nothing to do with it.
Also can you stop putting words into my mouth please and actually read what Im saying which is that if people have the right to bring up the bad then we have the ring to bring up the good as well. Comrehend?
I never said you didn't have that right, in fact, if you look closer, you'll see that I agreed that you have that right. Bringing up the good, though, doesn't erase the bad. Comprende?
Ummm again, please show me where I said he was hurting my feelings? Yes I am offended by mods who think attacking other peoples religions is OK when this is suppose to be a open forum for everyone.
Right there, buddy. You are getting butt hurt that he dared take a differing opinion than the OP. This is an open forum for everyone (that can follow the rules), and it is for open discussion of a great number of topics. The topic at hand is whether it is ok to knock Christianity. Did you expect only no answers in here? That's not what open discussion is. Take it on the chin and move on.
So yes it does not sit right me, you dont like it? It really isnt my problem or my issue now is it?
And yet you can't handle being told this very same thing yourself.
Also I can handle a adult convo, which is why I am still here.
What the fuck is a "convo"?
No he came in here with the intent to make Christianity look bad and it proves it in his post and then when people defend it, you and him cant handle it. Am I suppose to care that you and Slyfox cant handle when we defend our religion?
Notice the bold type? Christianity, not Christians. You took this as a slap in the face because you can't handle adult conversations. He read the OP, and responded in a valid manor. You took it upon yourself to call him out for it, and single him out to debate him on the matter, only he actually showed up prepared while you keep essentially posting the same thing over and over. I don't mind you defending your religion, dude, but if you can't handle the heat of the Cigar Lounge, get out.
I did read the topic, maybe you need to reread it because where is the topic talking about Christians History?
Well, to criticize something like Christianity properly, you must aware of it's actions throughout the course of history. In order to defend it properly, you also must be aware of it's actions throughout the course of history. So yes, I think someone with more factual knowledge of the history of Christianity is in a better position to make his/her case than one who does not possess the knowledge or the will to seek it out.
The history behind religions is different from the topic.
The history of Christianity, and whether or not it warrants criticisms, is indeed the very heart of this thread. I'm sorry that you can't understand that.
Again, no but he should not complain when we bring up the good in defense to his bashing.
He's not complaining about you mentioning the good that has been done. He, like many others, simply feel that missionary work and charity don't make up for all of Christianity's past. If he's complained about anything, it's that you are coming into this emotionally charged and as such keep overlooking the message in favor of getting agitated by the criticisms.
