Badfish:
I can hold my own in any Christian atheist debate.

Then, sir, let me invite you to our own Existence of God(s) forum, wherein it is my privilege to be a moderator, and a frequent participant. We are always eager (some might say 'slaveringly eager') to hear the opinions of knowledgeable theists; since you claim more than 5000 posts at CF, I hazard to say you qualify.

Indeed, I hope that all you CF refugees are exploring the large playground of ideas which is II. No doubt you will sometimes be offended, but it is my hope that you may be as often educated, uplifted, and amused!

Good Evening, All,
I just got the following message from CF:

You do not have permission to access the page that you were trying to.

You are temporarily suspended from Christian Forums until 23.04.2003 22:45

You were suspended for the following reason: 3 warnings in 3 days by jukesk9

You will be able to access the forums after 23.04.2003 22:45

What amazes me is how I managed to get 2 more warning points since jukesk9 in the last three days since jukesk9 levied the 1st one (I had 3 before that, but they were some time ago).

So in keeping with their "new" Open (snort) policy, I am now suspended. What a bunch of cowards! They didn't even have the decency to tell me about the other 2 before suspending me. How very "Christain" of them!

What a surprise (NOT!)

I'll check it out. Actually I used to debate with scigirl last year, but she left and I really haven't had the chance to visit, not that I wouldn't like to, but I shall try.

Badfish

Ok, Helen.

actually here I would probably be outnumbered 10 to 1 and would become lost in a debate, it is hard defending the faith against such a ratio. Also it is hard when the bible cannot and isn't recognized as a source of evidence.

Badfish

Now what did you do?

mfaber

I have no idea what I did to get these last 2 in the 3 day time period. No one PMed me about any "transgressions" so I can't answer your question.

I know I got one yesterday from jukesk9. My personal opinion is that jukesk9 is getting "even' because I told him in a PM replying to his warning where he could put those 1000 blessings he deducted (where the sun don't shine) Nothing graphic mind you, but you get the idea.

He accused me of "trolling" and "promoting religion" for posting these sites:
Errors in History and Science

Biblical Contradictions

Biblical Absurdities

in response to hotknikkels who claimed the Bible was historically accurate and error-free. These are from the Skeptics Annotated Bible. I have used them before as have others with no problem, why now?

1. How in the world one could get that I was "promoting religion" by linking to a skeptics site is beyond me.

2. If I can't link to sites with information supporting my claims without being accused of "trolling", then there is no point in arguing.

3. When I asked for a list of "forbidden links" I was told that there was NONE and it was the mod who determined what was "forbidden" and/or "offensive'.....

4. When I asked what the standard was ffor what constituted "blasphemy" and Christian-bashing" I was told there was NONE and it was up to the mod to determine that...'

Now, Badfish, this type of undefined situation just lends itself to nothing but abuse of power by the mods and that is exactly what they are doing. :banghead: :banghead:

I just want to tell all you Christians who are blasting the Christian Forums and the staff that you need to take a good long hard look at yourselves. You are far from a good example of a Christian and it makes me ill. People have been hurt because of this thread and look at you now. Do you even care? Heck no you don't. Are you banned...NO. And why is that? Well the staff aren't all that bad are they? None of you belong at CF. Your corrupters! You tear down Christianity to make your ownselves look better (cool). God not cool enough for you? I have you all read it's sooooo easy to see. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed your smack talkin fest, IMO you all look like a bunch of whiners and babies. And in the end who looks like the bad guy....CF or YOU? I SAY YOU and you all make me SICK!

Kristen...

Badfish

mfaber, what forum did you post them in? I can't comment. I just don't know.

Tenek

Uh huh. Well, I don't exactly like the CF-bashing that much. Having said that, if you consider turnabout as fair play, then it at least has that level of justification. There's something about people who think they know my reasons for not believing better than I do which seems to be a problem.

Besides, look at the bright side. Anybody who doesn't earnestly support CF isn't a True Christian(tm) anyways.

(edit to add)
And furthermore, I highly doubt the critical injury of anybody from this. People have a remarkable ability to ignore or dismiss anything they don't like. It's hard to argue with a Christian when anything you say is considered to be the Word of Satan(tm). Same goes for insults, I suppose. For example:

All Christians are idiots.

Ok, now those of you who read that are probably thinking along one of these lines:
1) That doesn't apply to me, I'm not Christian.
2) That's not true, some Christians are idiots, some aren't.
3) That's not true, no Christian is an idiot. All have the Mind of Christ(tm) and anybody who is an idiot is a false Christian and is going to Hell. Tenek doesn't have a clue what he's talking about and should read the King James more often.

Badfish

I'll go with that one.....
