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 I'm not saying it's totally without value, but much of it is offensive and outdated for our modern world, and some of it is hateful enough to be unbelievable.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.

Someone comes into our perfectly forsaken claimed thread saying it should be called the bible belt (jokingly) and 'be saved!' (also, I think, jokingly) and I say (jokingly) that I shall use those (joking) bibles as fuel for our Forsaken pyre of damnation and Forsaken-ness.
Yeah, haha it was all in fun. We're Forsaken. 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.

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.

this is similar to the forsaken except for a few minor differences

difference 1: no pyre (to hot)

difference 2: no blood casting

difference 3: no deliberately doing anything that ppl might find offensive in the slightest.

let the games begin!

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.
