Cowards

"The Golden Rule or ethic of reciprocity is a maxim, ethical code, or morality that essentially states either of the following:
 (Positive form of Golden Rule): One should treat others as one would like others to treat oneself.
 (Negative form of Golden Rule): One should not treat others in ways that one would not like to be treated.
 
This concept describes a "reciprocal", or "two-way", relationship between one's self and others that involves both sides equally, and in a mutual fashion." -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Golden_Rule

Implicitly, if others are initially rude/offensive, the "golden rule's positive maxim" suggests they be treated in kind.

You really seem as a petulant and pouty little old man who has to be the class "clown" and "troublemaker" ...

Contextually, you've inadvertently provided an example of hucking-up an initial insult and, under the auspices of the "golden rule", I'd be permitted to chuck one back.  Or, I could choose not to.

... so no one will have the right to enjoy their own topics of things.  

You're still trying those failed attempts as coersive censorship, are you?  So, if some hypothetical member of FC "enjoyed" a topic that some hypothetical fundie objected to, they'd be able to post about it or not?

In other words ...

No, not in other words - the "golden rule's" versions were quoted.

This is ridiculous.

That's due to your irrationality which you apparently have no conscious control over.

You are wrong in that Bible verse threads are insulting anyone personally and deliberately.  It's your choice to take it that way.  Stay out of them if you hate them so much.  You have taken the joy out of the verses and quotes threads that used to be here - that is wrong and pushing the golden rule's limits.  Just skip them - you are nothing but an agitator and a troll to bash Christians. 

Many atheists I know, in my personal life, and in this forum, are a lot more tolerant of believers and very rarely say much in the verse threads, unless there is some debate that comes out of it, or they feel they need to say something.  They sure don't come in like you do, bashing daily, just because you blame the believers for "initially" starting something that is not "initially" starting anything but commonalities for those who choose to take part in them.  You are offensive to me and to the others when you can choose to skip over threads that have nothing to do with you.  I'm sick of it and cannot believe it gets to continue on like it does.

Enjoy your evening.  I'm going to spend some joyful and meaningful time with my family.

It's somewhat immaterial whether such offensive material is being posted deliberately or not.
 

It's your choice to take it that way.

Fortunately, you don't get to decide what's offensive to others any more than others get to decide what's offensive to you.

Stay out of them if you hate them so much.  

Keep issuing ineffective 'orders'; no one is compelled to obey the 'suggestions' of the faith-blinded.  I'll continue to reject such.

You are offensive to me and to the others when you can choose to skip over threads that have nothing to do with you.  I'm sick of it and cannot believe it gets to continue on like it does.

Your constant spewing of religious propaganda is extraordinarily offensive, (not just to me), as it promotes a offensive religious belief.  The option to hold an irrational religious belief is not equivalent to any 'right' to propagandize it unopposed.  I oppose it and you'd prefer for it to be unopposed.
The reason opposition to such religious proselytizing continues is because the religious propaganda continues.  It's not rocket science, fundie otherwise your religion would've opposed it as it previous did.  The reasons for such opposition have been delineated before and include the xtian crusades, the xtian inquisitions, the despicable 'assimulations' of pre-existing pagan cultural beliefs, the xtian Westboro baptists and the xtian Jonestown debacle, (to name a few of xtianity's 'shining moments in history').

Falcon9 you are rude to christians and non-christians equally. I for one am sad for you and will no longer stoop to your level. There must be a sad story behind all of the problems you cause and I hope that some day you can come to terms with those. God bless you Flacon9.

[falcon9]

Falcon9 you are rude to christians and non-christians equally.

That's a false asseertion.  While most xtians conversed with will perceive rudeness and few will discern politeness, the ratio hasn't been equal or proportionate to non-xtians.

I for one am sad for you and will no longer stoop to your level. 

You would have to climb not stoop, hypocrite.

God bless you Flacon9.

No thanks; may 'cthulu' take notice of you.

So pitiful, so sad, so buried deep inside is that wicked bitterness taking over and overflowing out towards others, especially believers - quite judgmental and critical - when all it does is to keep the bitterness burrowing deeper and deeper until it affects the person.  You really should take it easy on yourself - you are seeming, as of late, to get more unhinged towards others, and more emotional sounding in your retorts to others, with many of the words and calling of names being used.  Paul suffered through a lot with that --- what a great turn-around for his personal life when he stopped fighting against the pricks of hate, and experienced the joy of God, and turned from his evil treatment of Christians.  But, you will already have read and learned about Paul, so that's all on that.

Is that why you blind-faithers are self-deluded cowards who cling to specious superstitions and eschew rationality? Thanks for the information.

I think the problem is people don't read your post's w/o a biased approach to them. I constantly see a pattern that looks like this-

"Christianity has always been the one true religion and a religion of peace."
"Actually no, there's millions of religions and yours is responsible for horrific atrocities in the past and present. *EXAMPLES HERE SOMETIMES*"
"That's quite rude to diss my faith in a thread about faith and stuff!"
"However you take it, it's the truth. To say otherwise is pure ignorance."
"NAME CALLING!? YOU'RE A MEANIE! STAY OUT OF MY THREAD THAT'S OPEN TO THE PUBLIC!"
..and then escalation.

Yes, that's the general pattern of exchanges however, opponents to reason not only fail to respond to logical challenges, (except with diversions), they attempt the illogical 'prove it isn't so' tact.  Lastly, I've always maintained that religious adherents have the private option to believe whatever superstitious "stuff" they want to however, they do no have the public option to propagandize it unopposed.  That last part is the one they like the least and multiple attempts at censoring dissenting viewpoints have been made to no avail.

I'm pretty sure FC has moderators that can do their jobs.  Seems a ironic that you'd post the thread with the word cowards and then act anonymous when mentioning who these cowards are by name.  =-P

Maybe we should have an Insult thread,where we could simply throw names around at each other.

I understand it goes on regardless,but if we all agree to meet up in that thread every day,maybe the other threads would get some peace.

Of course,it's all wishful thinking,I suppose.

LOL, JediJohnnie!  That's a GREAT idea!  It's pretty apparent threads like these get very heated.  I enjoy reading them but, otherwise I ignore them.  You know what they say - Arguing on the internet is like running in the special olympics.  Even if you win, you're still retarded.

I dont see posting bible verses as propaganda unless it is stated in those terms. What I have seen on here is mostly people posting bc they are starting a discussion and wish to attract like minded individuals, not sell religion to others.

I dont understand?

I agree.  Thank you.
