Firstly we were talking about all the religion bashing even the above Mohamed reference. Secondly I can quote whatever I like as truth it's my right and others with other beliefs to do the same. Our beliefs are no less valid or respected than yours.

Ps 90% of the time the religious on here don't bring it up nor do they start the conversation. Yet you all ride them because of your anti religious stand point.

I don't really see any religious people in here being personally targeted other than you. Have you ever thought that it had something to do with you and not your believes?

Which was kinda my point in the post above.

I think what Maddy finds comical is that you wear your religion on your sleeve (or did, until recently). With the avatar, the signature, the whole thing.

There are many other people around here who are religious to some degree or another, but they don't carry it as a badge of honor and so noone ever mocks them for it.

But why should one be mocked for what they believe no matter how much or how little? Who's right is it to mock ones belief

Would you ever mock someone for believing that Inter is a better club than Juve?

I would disagree but I don't mock. I have friends and relatives that are interista, milanista and even Neapolitans we all discuss not mock. We respect each others clubs and their decision to follow even if they follow the wrong ones

Well there you go. 98% of the people polled on this forum would. And do. So mocking people's beliefs is clearly in.

The issue is not your religion, it's the omnipresence of it. Since you've been here, the only way we have really gotten to know you is as a Christian, but seemingly not as yourself. I know for many people the two are closely intertwined, but at times it feels as if all you are is Christian (the avatars, quotes, outwardness about it), and sometimes to the detriment of the beliefs of others. It can make people feel threatened, or provoked. It's not a bad thing to be devout, or to want to share your happiness in that with others, but I don't get the feeling from you that you understand when it is appropriate to be that way with others and when it is not.

Off topic ladies and gents. This is your last warning.

So in other words because my faith makes you all uncomfortable I should mask it for your sakes and be untrue to myself?

As Aaron said this is off-topic, but if you want to take it to Off-Topic or PM, that's fine.

Probably no more uncomfortable than if a poster here kept trying to sell us on their favorite beer every other post.

It's fine to have an opinion. But as in doing anything with door-to-door sales, expect a few slammed doors in the face when they've had enough.

So, if we're going for Greg's slammed door "you talk about this too much" theory, no more pecs from Dule, no more Buffon from me. Any other black balled topics?

Not anymore.

You're fasting on Buffon?

 

[Kate]

You're fasting on Buffon?

Depends on your definition of fasting.

 

[Martin]

A world in which I define everything. That works.

have you ever had a experience with your best friend ala Requiem For a Dream, just with a barbed cross instead of a black double dildo?
