Re: Rationality and "Fervent" Christians (or "Christian, heal thyself!")
The next time someone like Origen comes here with nothing but unsupported declarations and insults, I'd like to see a more aggressive challenge mounted from the creationist side of the fence.
Does that include me Boss, or Spidey or Phat or Trixie or Anglagard or you or others here who believe in a Creator?

Re: Bannings
That doesn't show most of the banned members. Most of the spammers that are caught before they post and all of the SpamBots are marked inactive and so will not show.
IIRC we got about ten to twenty SpamBots for every Spammer that made it to the board. That would indicate that the actual number of banned folk is something like ten to twenty times what will show on the suspended member lists.

Re: About those Forum Guidelines
I repeat, your charges of lying must be on the spot empirical documentation that an intentional lie was spoken.
The classic fundamentalist copout. LOL
As long as the person is so ignorant, deluded or otherwise unable to "intentionally lie" it is okay.
Sorry Buz but there really are people who lie to themselves so well they actually convince themselves they are speaking truth.
Usually they then find a great career as Christian Televangelists.

On Robs whining
The discussion on sin actually begins at Message 48.
While Rob never "got it", others certainly did. For example in Message 66, anastisia posted:
I've thought about that, and I shall rephrase.
Sin is personal. Crime is public. Some of them happen to overlap.
Crimes can be punished and laws made against them. We can't make laws agianst sins, and we definitely can't punish someone for sinning. The realm of 'sin' belongs to the soul police.
She, and I can only hope others, actually understands the difference between "sin" and "right and wrong".
Further, she also seems to understand WHY I respond as I do.
In Message 71 she goes on to say:
I think I've learned by now; when you get adamant about something it is not to be an arse, but to make us think.
Hm...when you see us NOT thinking even with repeated prompts...
If I simply tell someone something they may or may not truly understand. But when they think it through for themselves, THEY become the owner of the information. It is something THEY understand, not simply something assumed on authority.
ABE:
the reply to Rob's specific whine can be found at this link where I once again explain that I say nothing about Rob's sins. Rob's sins are none of my business, and I do not address them. Rob's posts though are part of a discussion and so open to response and rebuttal.
Edited by jar, : add link to post where I again try to point out the difference between sin and right and wrong.
Edited by jar, : fix link to point to the beginning of the discussion on sin.

Re: What would you have us do?
We (= Creationists) only need to point out that our censors are Darwinists then all is explained.
And just how are you being censored? Who has restricted what you can post? What limits have been placed on what you can say in the showcase?

Re: What would you have us do?
This comment acts like the author does not know that restriction to a certain forum which is labelled and touted as penal in nature is not censorship.
We could only wonder if roles were reversed if the same author would retain this "view."
However, I am not offended at all by being incarcerated in the Showcase Forum. Objective persons know the real reason why certain Creationists are sequestered by Darwinists.
Ray
Censorship is being denied the right to say or write something.
What limits have been placed on what you can say Ray?

Re: What would you have us do?
And it is being denied freedom to say it where everyone else has the freedom to say it.
Ray
LOL
No Ray, it is not.
You are free to say anything you want. There is NO censorship of what you can say, and no one is restricted from reading anything you post.
So again Ray, what limits are being placed on what you can say?

Re: What would you have us do?
You are mistaken. Nobody said showcase had restrictions on speech; rather the same is a restriction on speech since inmates cannot have access to the same microphone as everyone else.
Siberia is not Moscow.
Ray
Again, what limits are being placed on what you can say?
What is it that you post that is not visible to everyone who visits EvC?
Can not everyone who visits EvC read whatever you post?
