Well said. Plus, Andy's post not only made a point, it was also pretty damn funny.

I really don't see the basis for a ban/infraction for insulting religions anyways, and it's also different from racism and insulting faggots because they didn't have a choice. Religion, technically is one. It would be the same thing as insulting vegetarians.
He really made a point to you by all these insults? Wow, you're too easy to impress.

It's the collateral damage I'm worried about. If you can make something similar that just targets Andy without specifying his name, be my guest.

Suggestions include references to the Detroit Red Wings, Penn State, the US men's NT, weather phenomena, financial derivatives, and snowmen. :pado:
Take it easy there pal, now you're just grouping all of us together. :D

Andy is retarded ignorant piece of shit. That's the conclusion of this thread.
It's okay. He knows one more post of this where it will end. He wont get different treatment than Andries(who was banned almost for life). Infractions wont help, if he makes one more post like this it could be his very last. No different treatment for no one as much as I love him but rules are rules.

It's not entirely in what he said, it's in how he phrased it that let it off the hook for me. Yeah, he's cluelessly trying to turn this thread into one about religion, which it is not really. And Andy gets childish a lot. But I let that post off the hook (not that I wasn't tempted) because it was phrased not as a statement nor as something he believed in, but more as an inflammatory point by example.

Andy's post makes the point that people who think it perfectly fine to condemn gays because it's approved by their belief systems would look very different if, say, said belief systems made equally outrageous claims about certain religions or believers. People who follow belief systems without acknowledging how hateful or hurtful those belief systems can sometimes be is a key point of his message. Because if you turn it around on, say, a religion like Islam or Christianity, suddenly those same people would feel bent out of shape.

I'm not happy with it at all, but I still felt it was relevant. You can argue that he could try to make the same points with less inflammatory counter-examples, like saying, "I believe Jesus was a con artist who used religion like David Koresh did," but IMO it would significantly dilute the inflammatory point of the post he was trying to make. Because, for example, a church-sponsored belief system to suggest that being gay was synonymous with evil and the devil can be just as offensive to a gay person as suggesting to a religious follower that a famous religious prophet had homosexual relations with men.
I agree with your assessment, however I think it's a bit "over the head". So to speak.

I don't see what the problem is here. None of you actually proved what I said was incorrect, which was the point of the post. You can't prove Muhammed never took part in homosexual acts. Perhaps he did. Please prove to me otherwise, or shut the fuck up. It's that simple.

Personally, I don't really give a damn about your beliefs, nor do I have to respect them. They're all moronic anyway. There's much more to life than worrying about what is said on an internet forum, but I'm sure there are some psycho Muslims here who are ready to strap some bombs to their testicles.

Actually, you know what, please do ban me. This forum is fucking useless nowadays anyway. The only thing it offers is entertainment value in fooling around with lesser intelligent individuals like Cheese.

Andy, do you do anything these days besides shit out of your mouth? It seems the only rare reason you come here is to insult people and piss on the universe.

I dunno. I've had friends in the past where the conversations uniformly got like that after a while, and those people ended up either on drugs or clinically depressed. I'm not entirely joking by wondering here if there's a sickness here and a cry for help. Depression isn't a laughing matter.

I'll miss a few people, but the majority of this forum isn't worth anything more than insults. If you want to make the place better, Greg, start with IQ tests. That'll help.

That's one of the most idiotic things I've ever read.

Hence my point. :D
