No, but unfortunately, you can shoot him. Have a Kevlar vest, I'll try to distract her.

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

You are temporarily suspended from Christian Forums until 01.06.2003 01:18

You were suspended for the following reason: 4 warnings in the last 3 months by Lanakila

You will be able to access the forums after 01.06.2003 01:18


Where did this rule arise?? CF is totally fucked with it's moronic rules. You can't even complain. Their policy and treatment of posters is a disgrace and it isn't even possible to complain or question it.

I then received an email:

Hi Sin of Man,

This email and PM is an official warning by one of the Christian Forums staff members - Lanakila - because you have broken one of the 7 rules of the forums - Rule No. 1 - No "Flaming".


Lanakila is a fundie who shouldn't be a mod in apologetics. She has it in for me I'm sure because I questioned the existance of Jesus.

I used webwarper to view what post had caused this.

Badfish:
God isn't the author of confusion, the bible is clear on what hell is, the real question or problem is trying to find it just in the eyes of man, especially the unbelieving man.

The bible is definitely not clear on what hell is. If it was, then there would not be any dispute between Christians about it.

quote:
God cannot lie, so he has to stay true to his word.

What else can't your God do? Your God has to stay true to your conception of him. You appear to want to control your God Badfish.




Is this such a punishable offence? I'd like to know how the obnoxious Louis Booth gets away it. I think I know actually, he's a fundamentalist Christian.

Sorry to see that Lanakila finally got you too and agree that she is just too biased to be a mod. All one has to do is look at the thread Did Jesus Rise from the Dead? She said this to the thread starter, doubtingmerle, who pointed out that the stories in the Gospels gave conflicting accounts. Merle was insulted on a regular basis before she posted this:

*Mod Hat on* Doubting Merle if you really have questions about contradictions in the Bible a good Harmony of the Gospels will probably answer them. If in fact you don't care about the supposed contradictions at all, and are just here trying to hurt Christians faith in the Bible being God's word, then don't do that anymore.
NOT a word did she say to Francie and some of the others who flamed Merle. She really hates being challenged and I think she really had it in for you after you wrote:

This is really too much. Merle's posts are sincere, he hasn't been rude, unlike Francie.

This is apologetics, and bible contradictions are a major part of apologetics!

If Christians are going to have their faith hurt by this, then isn't that up to them by being present in apologetics??
Then this:

I didn't read the whole thread, his questions didn't seem sincere, so sue me.

SoM scratches head.....

Even the Christian Franklin told her to lighten up on Merle......

Ms L, I don't see why you are getting on Merle's case here.  I think you need to lighten up a little and relax.  I think we can all learn something from Merle.  I think the real purpose for Merle's topics can serve a great purpose even to those who chose to either agree with him or disagree with him.  Don't you enjoy a good challenge?  If you do, then see if you can refute what he says.  Other then that, I suggest you cut him some slack, I think the majority here would agree (even the Christians) his topics are interesting and challenging. 

Have a good evening...FR
Lanakila et al THEN let crap like this go by without a word...............

You are officially an idiot.
Look at what you wrote...

That shows that you obviously do not have a solid train of thought.
First you write that because there is a description of an event that takes place, it must be after it happens. 
Scarlatti did not reply in kind and said this in response to Aaron's insults (also noted by Stormy, earlier in this thread)......

Very well. Have a nice weekend.
One time I read a message from Lanakila that she was on the verge of suicide, but didn't do it because she believes Jesus saved her. My personal opinion is that she sees any criticism as a literal threat to her life (consciously and/or subconsciously) in that one those evil atheists are trying to take away her life-line (fundie xtain doctrine). Those who question her faith are literally questioning her foundation for existence. Such a person has too much psychological baggage to be able to make unbiased judgments in her position.

I don't think it is a surprise that both SOM and Scarlatti (both have a wit and insight that can be devastatingly to the point) got booted.

It's obvious that these rules have been made in order to give the fundies an upper hand. If they can't win by argument, then the vague wording of the new rules coupled with the fact that they aren't held accountable for anything they do, allows them (the mods) to conduct a conduct a reign of terror by one-sided censorship as they continually stalk non-believers in search of any excuse to slam them with "warning points". What this will result in is that "offenders" will be permanently banned (get the fatal 7 in a less than 6 months). The beauty of this sort of hypocrisy is that they can maintain the fictional appearance of an "Open" forum without actually having one. If anyone complains they just cover their ass with "but you broke the rules". How transparent can one get!!!!

Umm, no. I don't understand how you would be banned for that. Were you told that was the offending post?

LouisBooth/Outspoken gets away with it because he is a fundie that is a mod.

It really is getting harder to take the onesided moderation over there.

Bingo!

I can't understand how you were banned for that post. This sucks.

I wonder if Louis Booth's doppelganger (Outspoken) was warned for his ridiculous behavior the other night?

Can a mod sockpuppet be banned? INQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW.

A Pm from jayemcintyre

As you have said that you are no longer a Christian then you cannot post in Christian only areas which this post was in.

Thank you for your understanding

Jay

Damn! What the Hell is this?
