The following was posted on Rapture Ready earlier today and got me banned!

As an apostate Jew I merely pointed out that their own texts contain antisemitic sentiments!

Enjoy!

Hmmm well, it is their sandbox after all. They've got their own little club, and want to keep it that way.

Yes, it is ironic that you were banned for quoting scripture. But not really surprising.

Well, that says it all. They are self-proclaimed navel-gazers. You cannot argue with the willingly ignorant.

The truth can hurt depending on who you are and what you do, and since they really aren't interested in the real truth of things (despite their claims otherwise) then this is their reaction.

Hello Tortie Cat. I am a Christian, and if you would like to discuss this topic with me, I would be glad to talk about it. And no, I won't kick you off the board; seeing that I cannot do so.

Not cool for them to ban you, though I'd find your analysis questionable. If saying "Jews had Jesus killed" is inherently antisemetic, is saying "A predominantly black jury found OJ Simpson not guilty" inherently racist? Both are factual observations.

What's really questionable is their user agreement, though:

If it makes you feel any better, a Catholic probably wouldn't fare too well on their board, either. :frown:

I'd have to say most of us christians here wouldn't fare well over there.

You've got a stronger stomach then I do Tortie Cat!

I spent a bit of time in apologetics at RR-BB recently, but I had to take a break. Trying to reason with them was the most frustrating thing I've ever attempted.

ACK! Some of the people on that website are kinda scary. One guy referred to every non-christian as a "pagan"... strange!

Having visited that site and read through the sort of stuff posted - it never ceases to amaze me that so -called intelligent people could seriopusly post such utter nonsense. Plus, I find the posters' status descriptions totally ludicrous e.g. "God's unworthy handmaiden"....
