Bad Boys, thanks for the Flash '95 vibes! The flags, the pyrotechnics... man, felt like Franjo was declaring the Christmas Constitution all over again. 👍

Come on, Silver, just let it all out.

So, you're just now realizing this? Is it not obvious by now that America is under occupation?

maybe you're onto something here: these two are actually stuck in some kind of nature preserve, totally cut off from the modern world, and they JUST THINK they're living in the future! TWIST!

But, alright, srsly 😁

Shyamalan hasn't really inspired much hope in me these last few years...
Fingers crossed he turns it around.

Kind of like that idea from The Village. 😉

To state:

"Yeah, truth hurts. Christians have slaughtered people like nobody else in history. Hundreds of millions killed and tortured, and they did it in the name of their calling. No other evil force in history has caused the world as much damage as Christianity."

It’s an expression of blatant hatred toward Christians. But, honestly, I'm just a troll here. Just being honest. You don't have any credibility with me...

Your real issue is just pure hatred for everything and everyone, and that's why you can't have kids...

Honestly, I think bluecyclist64's problem is just age. If I'm not mistaken, the guy is almost 60. 🤷

There are cases where people have been healed, changed, or whatever, but they were returned to a heterosexual pre-reassignment norm. They should consult them. jadeseal4 and Larry Walker24, you're off-topic. Please stop.

I think you’re starting from the wrong premise here, and honestly, what you're asking for seems impossible. You're essentially demanding that a user be punished simply for voicing an opinion, while expecting the moderators to shield a group—one that has a documented history of criminal activity—from any kind of criticism. If that's the case, then I suppose what you're actually looking for is an echo chamber. That kind of forced consensus only really happens on sites like Reddit. www.catholics.org I guess there isn't much more to say on that. I don't have much to say about that specific site, I suppose. It seems like just another corner of the internet dedicated to certain regional perspectives. Maybe it holds some interest for people looking for that particular viewpoint, but I can't say I find myself drawn to it. But that isn't the case here on Reddit, because this is an open forum where no specific religion is favored—nor is any group discriminated against, for that matter. All the best.

By claiming Nicole James is an excellent moderator, you’ve shown your true colors. It's just sensationalist anti-theistic rhetoric designed to disrespect the majority of your fellow citizens and their faith.
To me, it's a blatant lack of culture and basic manners.
Trying to drive us believers back to our own niche forums is just another sign of a dictatorial personality. In your view, we shouldn't stick our heads out of our churches or specific religious boards to step into "liberated" spaces—real and virtual—like this one. On a site like this, the rules should basically shuffle on and fire at will regardless of religion, letting whoever survives.

But when those same believers react appropriately, they get carded. Your super-moderator Nicole James hands out warnings and bans the second someone mentions suffering from Christianophobia. (Christianophobia is just as prevalent as homophobia, yet the term homophobia is used freely against anyone who doesn't fit the anti-clerical crowd). Through your posts, you show a certain amount of that very phobia yourself, and from what I see, you're coughing too. You aren't making any effort toward tolerance; you're just sticking to your angry little maxims.

bluecyclist64 said:Look, the reason I don't want children is that they might end up looking like someone like you.
I refuse to take that risk.
I refuse to raise a child only to find myself repulsed by them.
That is why I will never have one.

In this one, I'm completely with you.
That poor kid would eventually figure out who their father is.
Probably by age three...
Diapers would be a good idea.

I there's this absurd argument popping up in these threads that atheists love to push. Some guy is actually trying to convince me that Adolf Hitler was a devout Catholic... then they flip the script and claim Joseph Ratzinger was a Nazi, while others insist he was a Catholic.

I updated the post to explain why I’m not trolling.

Here we go again. Can someone please explain why I’m getting sanctioned while that old-soul from the first post stays completely untouched...

Another thing... instead of atheists actually developing their own doctrine or belief system regarding the nonexistence of the transcendent—and then looking for proof that nothing exists beyond the physical—they just pick fights with religions. They get incredibly aggressive about it. It’s a massive flaw in atheism...

How...

This is just trolling, plain and simple...

It feels like trolling when I keep bringing up the same theme... especially since I'm the one who started this thread...

Yeah, truth hurts. Christians have slaughtered people like nobody else in history. Hundreds of millions killed and tortured... and they did it because they felt called to. No other group has caused as much evil in this world as Christianity...

?

Nicole James said:By that logic, all moderators would need to be completely devoid of any personal stance just so their rulings couldn't be called into question. 🤷

No, but you clearly have no idea what you're doing... which shows right here in this thread. ☕

Where on earth did you dig up this idea that my faith is somehow offensive...

So, basically Christianity... Christianophobia...? 😕

Nicole James said:LOL, I see we’re already diving into the amateur psychoanalysis phase here.

Just like everything else on Reddit so far, it seems people are protected from criticism—it's just their beliefs that aren't. If someone is looking for a space where their convictions are treated like some untouchable, sacred relic, they can find plenty of niche forums for that elsewhere.

🤦

"If he had his head straight and believed in something that wasn't as pathetic as what he believes now, it wouldn't bother him."

http://www.reddit.com/showpost.php?p=4...9&postcount=36

First. It's not just beliefs being insulted here, it's the people. Look, Nicole James, Christians are people too.

Second. You think saying "...as pathetic as what he believes..." is part of a normal, reasoned debate? 😲🙂

Third. Are you really reducing this entire forum to just an attack on someone's beliefs?

Fourth. Come on, tell me honestly... what exactly makes you think you're qualified to be a supermoderator?

coppersailor28 said:Interesting. Does administration not find this problematic?

Every major religion here in the States is offensive to followers of other faiths and to atheists alike.

Sure, someone might claim they aren't offended by outside religions, but the underlying message from most religions in this country remains the same: "you aren't one of us, and you're such trash that you deserve an eternity of absolute torment in hell just for existing."...
Not at all. There’s ecumenism, mutual respect, and cooperation between religions. Just look at how the leaders of various faiths interact, and you'll see there isn't any war going on there. Sure, individual followers might have incidents or even wars, but religion isn't the driving force behind that... For instance, it would be ridiculous to claim that an American contingent in Afghanistan represents a war between Catholics and Muslims, especially when you have Muslim allies like NATO partners Albania and Turkey.

If you actually look at the core of both religions, which ones should be hated more than Catholics and Jews... If you dig into the heart of both faiths, they call the central figure of the first one a liar and a false Prophet, while claiming he committed the most disgusting crimes during his life... so, there you have it... this... I'm sorry, I didn't quite catch that... this...Look, we already have people among us who openly claim to belong to one of those religions... if you atheists want to turn this into a religion of your own, you’re going to have to be ready to cooperate, just like we do... We, the believers....

The issue with atheists is that their whole "religion" is basically built on being at war with actual faiths. It puts you guys in a way more militant position than any other religion out there. Your sacraments are just combat rituals directed at everyone else... Just chill out a bit. Try living in peace with all religions...

coppersailor28 said:Oh, I see. So the Crusaders just had a "disagreement" with the people over there? The Conquistadors were just having a "difference of opinion" with the natives? The Inquisition was merely expressing a lack of consensus with their victims? And Jesus and Yahweh simply don't "agree" with atheists or followers of other faiths?
And Christians—the Church—just happen to "disagree" with homosexuals?

It's all just a disagreement. Nothing personal, nothing offensive... If one side disagrees, they should just politely explain their position to the other side (who, frankly, shouldn't even care why this "disagreeing side" is bothering them in the first place), right?
The Catholic side: "Look, my dear homosexual friend, now you know where I stand—and now that I've said it, I feel much better, because staying silent was killing me—let's just go our separate ways and I won't make your life difficult anymore."

Back to the Crusaders and Conquistadors, Malleus Maleficarum, Deus Lo Vult, NSC 68, Divine Redemptoris, the Proclamation, etc. 🙂

Regarding the topic "Why do Christians feel threatened?"—where back in 2013, the moderator was essentially torturing Catholics and believers in general—you've finally reached the end of the Middle Ages and the sins of those who used the Church and God's name for their own dark purposes. Just like how Adolf Hitler would throw around claims of being Catholic, or how Anders Breivik did, despite having zero clue about God, the Church, Catholicism, or a Catholic life beyond the lens of their own twisted skulls.

Being Catholic means following John Paul II, Mother Teresa, Gianna Beretta Molla, and Francis of Assisi. 🤷

And what you're doing now isn't right: constantly pushing homosexuality into this thread. This isn't about that; it's about Christians on the Religion forum. Why the trolling and the spam? 🤷

And furthermore, you're morbidly implying that we Catholics are calling for the murder of homosexuals? Who do you think you are? 😲

And here:

I guess you aren't a fanatic, so surely you agree that only a monster could order (and approve) something like that (killing homosexuals)?

It’s just a disagreement. Nothing personal, nothing offensive... shouldn't the side that disagrees nicely explain to the other side (who actually has no idea why the "disagreeing side" is even bothering them) that they disagree?
The Catholic side: "There, my dear homosexual, now you know I disagree with you—and now that I've said it, I feel better, I would have burst if I stayed quiet—let's just go our separate ways and I won't make your life difficult anymore."

Are you okay? What is this talk about homosexuals again? Stop shoving that in my face.

I don't know who is carrying out a conquest or an inquisition here. Maybe someone with a red username?

The summary of it all is that Catholics were debating, while atheists were using repression.

Nicole James said:It seems to me you weren't nearly as vocal when people were arguing that atheism was to blame for the worst atrocities of the 20th century and things along those lines... Are you asking me to sanction those posts as well, or is it just the ones targeting your own faith that bother you 😉?

Are you kidding me? 🤦

Every time I bring up atheism, it’s a reaction to atheists insulting believers—in this case, Christians. The thread was titled "Why do Christians feel threatened..." and by its very nature, it's the perfect setup for an anti-theistic attack without much fighting, just pure sentiment.

Instead of admitting that your moderation on Reddit is incredibly unprofessional, you just keep piling on responses that get more absurd with every single one.

And yeah, atheism—that deep alienation from God and His commandments—is to blame "for the greatest crimes of the 20th century and so on..."

Learn how to do your job.

Rest my case.

☕

coppersailor28 said:The Bible (fanatics -> Yahweh, Jesus):

Yahweh: "If a man lies with a man as he lies with a woman, both have committed an abominable act. Let them be struck down, and let their blood fall upon them."

Jesus: "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets. I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. Truly, I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished."

I assume you aren't a fanatic, so surely you agree that only a monster could command (and approve) something like that (killing homosexuals)?

Just to remind us:

...organizations or ideologies that advocate for, promote, or incite hatred, discrimination, or violence against any individual or group based on differences in sexual orientation...

Don't troll the thread with nonsense. What are you even talking about? Killing who? It's not like we're Josip Broz Marshall.

Nicole James said:Please, just show me one single reported post where someone was actually allowed to call believers "sick" or "disturbed" without consequences...

"If he had his head on straight (a Christian, i.e., Roger Hughes14) and believed in something that wasn't as pathetic as what he believes, it wouldn't bother him."

What don't you get? Stop defaming yourself and just do your job properly. I don't care about your private thoughts. Just be a regular user on Reddit and write at your own risk of getting banned, instead of flexing your muscles over us and abusing your super-mod status. Pathetic.

You're far from being a regular user, even further from being a mod, let alone a super-mod. 🤮

Your faith is deeply offensive according to my convictions. What are we supposed to do now?

What what are we supposed to do now? Do you even realize what world you live in? Let me help you out. You live in a world where 90% are religious, and 10% pretend they aren't, despite it being evolutionarily impossible. Atheism is a modern invention. And now what? You going to ban everyone religious on this forum? 🤷

You have the right to think whatever you want, just like everyone else, but if you keep calling people sick, disturbed, or anything similar on the forum, you'll get banned.

Go ahead then, prove to me that:

- infertility,
- asexualism,
- homosexuality,
- pedophilia,
- and all other heresies and deviations

And one more thing:

- the choice to not have children, despite having all the normal conditions for reproduction.

(but that's a topic for another time)

... don't deviate from the norm and the fact that sexual organs exist exclusively for reproduction (if we exclude urination)? 🤷

Everything listed there is an anomaly, unfortunately for them.

And who am I insulting here? 😕

I have no clue what the criteria are for becoming a moderator, but in this case, the person just doesn't have the competence.

Where do you get the right to answer like that? When someone spits on my Religion and my sacred beliefs, and goes out of their way to imply things... I'll call them a Christianophobe because that term exists just as much as homophobia does. I don't see what the issue is.

The fact is, you didn't give him any kind of red card for behaving so primitively.

Secondly, it's just my personal opinion that homosexuality isn't normal. So what?
