Its endlessly amusing watching idiots try to make a peacful utopia using force as their main method of change......

This doesn't suprise me, coming from Cali.....

No, he's using his power to keep you from simply preaching. He wants you to actually debate, not just state "The bible is right, you are all wrong" over and over again (note: i know those aren't your own words, but its a basic overview of most, if not all, of the threads you've posted in.

Osborn F Enready · Apr 26, 2008, 11:39 am

Halofan, I assume you are talking to Will?

Halofan48 · Apr 26, 2008, 11:40 am

Him and any other member who does not do anything but preach that the bible is correct and we are all wrong. I Wish he'd actually debate, not just say he's right because the bible says he is.

Osborn F Enready · Apr 26, 2008, 11:42 am

Many people accept the bible or some other "fantasy book" as truth and fact..... many also believed in a flat earth and witches.....

Take them for what they are.... insane, or at least, imbalanced.

Halofan48 · Apr 26, 2008, 11:45 am

True, but the people who actually debate correctly should not have to deal with the irritating interruptions of preachers who contribute nothing to the debate.

Osborn F Enready · Apr 26, 2008, 11:51 am

If you are hoping for that here, you have another thing coming.....

Yet, again, if you would Believe you would be able to see the Evidence in actual use.

Halofan48 · Apr 26, 2008, 12:04 pm

Will, stop preaching now. Debate or do not. Don't preach.

Right, kind of like if you believe against all facts that the earth is flat, it will be, to you, right, because you "believe it".

Belief only changes perspective, it doesn't change the FACT that you're wrong.

"Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you." Matthew 5:10-12

"But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you," Matthew 5:44

tactful as ever.

However as much as I would like to sit here and watch you learn about Will and his infallible logic, we're off topic.

You are using your "power" to request that I answer in a format that you enjoy, and would allow for less "evidence" on my part?

Not at all. I'm expecting you to follow the rules and debate like so many others appear able to do without a problem. It's a requirement of all members to debate properly and not to disrupt threads.

No more off topic banter.

DO NOT RESPOND IN THIS THREAD TO THE PRECEDING MESSAGE.
Please contact a member of the staff privately if you have any questions.

Halofan48 · Apr 26, 2008, 03:15 pm

Anyway, besides the fact that banning a word is a violation of the 1st amendment, all this would do would cause new words to be used with the same meaning.

**Jack** · Apr 26, 2008, 03:17 pm

Like frack, which by the way I happen to like. It gets the point across without being immediately recognizable by those who would be offended with the more common term.

These are the most common words that were banned, though.

Halofan48 · Apr 26, 2008, 03:22 pm

Then new words will take their place. Then we'll be in exactly the same spot with the only difference being the words themselves.

Will_00 · Apr 26, 2008, 03:24 pm

But this is only in one town. It is fairly unlikely that these words will spread - hopefully not.
