I won't beat around the bush. Nicole James acts as a moderator on the Religion board and on http://this thread, and she's being incredibly biased.

On this link, she shared her opinion just like any other user, but over here, her language as a moderator is pretty questionable.

Here are some posts from people who haven't been banned for staying civil.

In this one, the Catholic priesthood is being insulted.
Right here, a user is being insulted.
Another user gets insulted here.
And another insult here.
This right is the peak of failed moderation due to targeting users with insults.

If you look at the posts that actually got flagged, they're easy to find in the thread, and most of them come from the opposing side.

The topic is sensitive, sure. But moderating this way just forces the discussion into whatever direction the mod wants, which kills the natural flow of the conversation.

Like I said, I don't want to ramble, so I'm just pointing out the key moments that show she isn't being objective. As a regular user, she’s entitled to her opinion—nobody's disputing that.

Later.🙂

Yes. 🍿 We're keeping a close eye on all of this... 🥳

I can't work with this. There isn't enough here to go on. Give me something actual to write about. kaže:
Aaron Harris2, Mirrorball, and that absolute idiot. 😁

And one little extra for Septy, Strilac, and rowdyhawk10!! People... That's intense. They’re doing their jobs right.
Anyway, DD pulled it off at MK. Outstanding job. You have to find that sweet spot between actually handing out punishments, trying to teach someone a lesson—if you can even call it that—and just having a good, loud laugh, which is exactly what every single PDF needs. NT is a solid successor, honestly; he’s just still finding his footing, but... Look. Look, if people are actually going to try and show some basic decency and tact, I only have one question. Since the chat over at LJESa got shut down because of that flood of kids, the MK chat is getting absolutely buried. Can we please just open a separate chat topic for them somewhere outside of the Teens section? They probably think they're grown, but the exact same thing that killed the LJESa chat is happening over at MK right now. Because the thread is constantly flooded with their posts, it’s practically impossible to have a real conversation about anything else. As a result, the regulars aren't even bothering to hang out there anymore—or if they do, they just drop a quick comment and bail until the kids wake up.

I appreciate the support. I suppose I'll try to do even better. 🙂

Andrew Sanchez572 said:1. patientia—well-informed, highly educated, and truly FAIR. She’s genuinely kind and has such a friendly disposition; she simply loves her PDF... a perfect moderator, and quite frankly, a rare breed 👍

2. Katrin—she’s currently active 😍

3. Shady—a mod who doesn't lecture or act superior, stays composed, yet isn't afraid to overturn an unfair decision. There is real potential here. Unfortunately, they are seen much less 🤷

The moderators over at Religion are solid. As a team, they are well-aligned and consistent. Quite impressive, really...

I appreciate the support. I suppose I'll try to do even better. 🙂

Andrew Sanchez572 said:Update:
The top two spots remain unchanged, though rowdyhawk10 has gone a bit downhill—that potential seems to have drifted in the wrong direction. Still, it’s never too late, and I still believe in them... 👍

I would like to do this again, but this time naming names to praise the Religion moderators; Scathach very, very much, and ego just a little less... 🙂

I should also add the Psychology moderators, they absolutely rule... 👍 They are virtually invisible, yet when things go south and they have to issue bans, they do so with such care and fairness...

The Fashion moderators are excellent, too...

Oh, and Fish1968 👍, even if she over-moderates a bit for my personal taste, she is an observant and sensible person who issues warnings before penalties, and she certainly isn't vindictive. In short, she never abuses her position. Truly impressive...

It seems it's only the female moderators that I favor (except for ego, but he has long hair, so perhaps that was the deciding factor, I suppose)... 😁

Thank you for the criticism. I will attempt to improve. 😘

Honestly, I've been obsessed for years with this whole "us vs. them" phenomenon—how the world splits itself up by countries, ideologies, political parties, religions, and nations. It's the root of almost every major evil on Earth. You don't have to be a genius to see that these divisions are just a facade used by specific individuals hungry for global power, fame, and material wealth. The only philosophy that matters here is realizing TO. Once regular people finally grasp TO, the world might actually be saved. When ordinary people TO, it'll mean they've realized how pointless it is to argue over the value of any global ideology, politics, religion, or nation. They'll see that clinging to any of those labels is useless because it doesn't benefit humanity, nor does it serve God; it only serves those bloated global elites at the top of these divides. They view their followers as nothing more than a flock of sheep meant to be sheared and slaughtered.

Seriously, what's the point of the Bible, or spreading any religion to rule the world in the name of some higher power? Get real, people! It's just inviting the devil to your doorstep and nothing else. If you've joined a "philosophy" forum, show at least a little bit of philosophical depth—meaning, learn to distance yourself from all this nonsense and think for yourself, instead of acting manipulated and playing ”interpreter by trying to defend one side or another. Just look at what David says:

DAVID,
P.S. A translation of the Bible isn't enough to understand the message of a specific verse. You need interpretation. A translation isn't an interpretation. God interprets the verses for chosen leaders. (These could even be ordinary people who have reached high spiritual levels). Others who try to penetrate the meaning of a verse without divine inspiration end up falling into various traps. Some of those traps include the extremists the film refers to.

What kind of ”interpreters in high positions” are you talking about, David? Watch your mouth: “God interprets the verses for chosen leaders”. Which God? Where is this God, David? Show him to us or at least explain him. Explain how we're supposed to know which one God actually chose among the countless ”“interpreters in high positions” (of the Bible or other texts), since everyone interprets things their own way. It's obvious He didn't choose all of them, because if He had, they would all interpret things the exact same way, not differently. And I'm really curious if you and Shaun are among those ”chosen interpreters in high positions”, since I see you two interpreting religious texts and spreading faith online for years now?

Don't get mad at me and think I'm representing some global ideology, nation, or religion against any faith. This is my personal, philosophical conviction that applies equally to every group and division in the world. That said, when it comes to Islamic culture, I've studied it for a long time and appreciate its ethics and worldview quite a bit. I'd love to see the Western world adopt some of that culture and ethics, provided that part of it is stripped of all religious dogma.

Just a heads-up: don't assume that because of everything I've said, I'm an ”unbeliever”, or an atheist, or one of those people that religion needs to ”settle scores with”. I know God exists, and I know who and what He is, but I don't belong to any religion. The God I know doesn't want any divisions or religions in this world. Even if we assume the Bible and other texts are from God—that Jesus and Muhammad were..."interpreters" of God's thoughts—and yeah, you're right, those interpretations weren't meant for Christians or Muslims either, because back during their "interpretation" phase, neither group even existed. These "interpretations" were intended for all humanity as a study of good and evil, or just pure philosophy. The fact that people later split apart over these "interpretations"—leading to freezing tensions and wars—that isn't from God, it's from the devil. The whole "divide and conquer" mantra doesn't come from God; it comes from the devil. Anyone keeping that division alive today through organized religion isn't serving God—they're serving the devil. Specifically, they're serving the West. That’s the main playbook and strategy for the West today. Using that tactic, the West uses its ideology called "democracy" to take over the world step by step. First, they pit naive, divided nations and religions against each other, provoking them until they fight, go to war, and bleed each other dry. Then, they can just stroll into the territory as "saviors and judges" and take total control.

It's all just a power grab, my friends. It's about global material wealth and treating people like fools. Every single political, national, and religious leader does this—some more successfully than others—and that is their only goal. Everyone else who takes their side, supports them, or defends their faith—meaning their "interpretations" or ideologies—is either incredibly naive and doesn't get what's actually happening, or they're part of the inner circle, acting like co-conspirators to reap some material profit. There is no third explanation.

As for the movie, any religion could make one just like it, filled with authentic footage like decapitations and other gore, and use it as propaganda against any other religion. Every single one of them has left behind a massive, filthy, and bloody criminal record throughout history.

Peace.

swiftcobra15 said:I saw how the movie ended, and now it's obvious to me that the directors have an agenda.
They're basically conflating Islam with Islamism—extremism and terrorism.
That said, I still believe any reasonable person can read between the lines:
Terrorists are always a tiny minority, yet they constantly claim to act on behalf of Islam.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "Christians." Are you referring to believers?
Regardless, we're talking about representatives of Western ("Christian") civilization
and those defending the privileges of the wealthy West at the expense of everyone else.

The core issue remains how the Muslim majority deals with
that extremist, terrorist minority claiming to speak for all Muslims.
Because regardless of any bias in the film, Islamist terrorists are a real and dangerous reality.

Best regards! 🙂

rustymaker5 said:Now we’re just going to end up acting like grammar is the deciding factor for extremism, and pretending that most Muslims are all peaceful and tolerant toward non-believers... I’d really love to see how those supposedly tolerant folks would actually behave during a mass uprising in Western nations, which they find so alien, ugly, and religiously intolerant to begin with. "To hell with freedom" is just such a terrifying message.

swiftcobra15 said:I watched a little over half the movie, and honestly, I think I've seen enough.
Quotes can be incredibly brutal, but you'd find even darker stuff in the Old Testament.
So, if we’re taking things literally, both the Bible and the Quran could easily serve
as blueprints for the worst kinds of crimes. It all comes down to how you interpret them, though.

Ultimately, my take is that the film isn't attacking Islam itself, but rather those twisted interpretations of the Quran.
