Wow, that was quick. I know a few of you read or post at the RR board. How often do bannings happen there? I just got "put on vacation" by their trigger happy Moderator who I know has banned at least one of my friends as well.

Do I get a prize or anything?

Pshhh...I never even bothered signing up. From what I have heard, any Catholic that can fight back is banned pretty fast. Seems they like to bash at their leisure or something.

Pretty much the case. I was posting in the most homophobic threads possible trying to put at least a bit of light into the threads. Fortunately my posts were the last ones before my favorite Mod there closed the threads and then banned me so people will get a bit of open minded rationality as they finish the thread. Not that it will make a difference to most fundies (I should know, I used to be one, ugh).

I musta been banned there around 50 times now. The only reason I go there is to laugh at how stupid some of their posts are.

Yeah, your "Fundies say the funniest things" list is kind of funny...although I did appear on it once...

No worries...

They really do take the cake. STUPID, STUPID, STUPID.

They're still doing the "earthquakes are increasing - the end times are here" nonsense.

I would have loved to read that board back in 1999 - I'll bet they had a field day with the Y2K bug issue.

Catholics are the devil. Satan's whore. Mother of Babylon. Antichrist in white robes. Etc. etc. etc.

What's really scarey is that I'd bet my teeth that the RaptureReady crowd, as a group,

a) breeds more;
b) homeschools more;
c) attends accredited colleges less;

rational thought is doomed, as long as they have more kids and they never step outside their logic-proof boxes.

Oh, you don't have to tell me!

I get called a "follower of the whore" and a "child of satan" on a DAILY basis at theologyonline.com

One of the few people that is nice to me there is an ATHEIST, who also gets treated horribly by these loving "Christians"

Now, to answer the OP, no, you don't get a prize, because, as you can see, the task is way too easy.

Now if you could convince any member of RR of anything that does not agree with their dogma, that might be worth something.

I wouldn't recommend trying, though.

Wasn't that when Todd, one of the webmasters, ran off to Iceland to survive the doomsday bug?
