1. I venture there too.
Got flamed badly just the other day (Yesterday? I can't even remember now :D) for telling the atheists to cool it some--and think RATIONALLY, fer chrissakes!--over the RawStory article.

Whoops.

:evilgrin:

Seriously, though, the place is morbidly addictive. So many juvenile flamewars....

:( :( :D

8. And I don't even like organized religion.
Edited on Sun Apr-30-06 04:45 PM by WritingIsMyReligion
I'm a-a-a- something. Not an atheist...I guess an agnostic. I sympathize heavily with atheists. But honestly, sometimes they shoot themselves in the feet. I fully expect to go back to R/T and find them clamoring over what a traitor I am or something ridiculous like that. :eyes:

:crazy:

11. I try to love everyone on the left :D
Edited on Sun Apr-30-06 04:48 PM by DanCa
regardless of their religion or belief system. Hell it's going to take all of us coming together to beat the chimp and his army of rethug conservative dogma pushing hypocrites.

13. Yup.
I despise OR, but know that we'll never be fully rid of it. It's too indoctriated into the human psyche, and anyway, when made personal--when it's not forced down people's throats, and when churches aren't cults--it actually does some good for people. It's better to try to work WITH the religious, helping them to clean out the cults and the crusaders, than against them, when at all possible.

31. Uh oh, that means you are a bigot
I said something similar and got called a bigot.

Memo: if someone's telling you to calm down, and you respond by calling them a bigot, you may be proving their point just a little.

So I feel ya.

12. I've never been
and I'm probably one of the most religious people here.

For that matter, I never post in the UK forum, despite being British.

And I never post in the veggie/vegan forum, despite being a vegetarian.

In fact I only post in the lounge.

:bounce:

15. Go into R/T and talk about how much you love your religion.
See how long it takes you to get unfairly jumped. I DARE you.

18. R/t is kinda like walking naked into a blast furnace
only worse because you expect to be dealing with civilized people and not an emotionless machine.

9. I try to avoid these discussions like the plague
Everyone is entitled to their opinion. But everyone once in a while the R/T forum is like the mob just when I think I am out they pull me back in. :DI just don't like the way I get when I answer some of the questions. I get too caught up in things for my own good. :D :hug:

26. I've never entered R/T
Edited on Sun Apr-30-06 07:53 PM by Ekirh
I have enough problems as it is having Religion/Tehology battles with my own family members (and to make it very amusing we are all Christians just don't go down the same paths . . and some times they ac. . nah I don't want to go off on a rant forgive me) that I don't feel like doing battles on a internet forum board.
