Clarification of 3rd Christian Principle of Foru.ms: Satanism/ Satanic symbols

[Moriah_Conquering_Wind]

If I am confident and secure in my spirituality and comfortable with my God, then I can withstand anything someone else might throw at me and I can fight my own battles without just ignoring them or disallowing them to put up their own argument.

I totally agree with you Y. but I think the majority have the attitude of "oh but think of the CHILDREN" (i.e. worried about those who are NOT secure and NOT strong).

Why children are permitted to run loose in the ETB I'll never know ..... or in the world ...... neither is, nor ever will be, "safe".

And also the rule against not harassing or defaming and not making another's experience miserable, right?

OK, thanks Erwin. I feel a BIT better now.

How could we not? What is it when we allow just one party to promote their side and no one else is allowed to speak? Oh... um... damn, what is it.... fascism? Yeah, that's it. Everyone else is subordinate to our own thoughts and opinons, right?

Actually, the term in this case is "private ownership".

I am glad you are feeling better.

Does private ownership supercede freedom of speech? (just asking rhetorically here)

I consider Satan enemy, but I'm willing to allow him to make his own moves and to see his own works. If I am confident and secure in my spirituality and comfortable with my God, then I can withstand anything someone else might throw at me and I can fight my own battles without just ignoring them or disallowing them to put up their own argument.

Y.

And the people that are struggling? The ones who aren't that strong in their faith? The ones who are escaping a history with the occult?

Buzz-words like "fascism" and "bigotry" don't impress me. Those are political insults; this is so much more important than that.

 

[Moriah_Conquering_Wind]

p.s. Erwin some of them lied to you about me. but we can sort that in PMs if you ever want to (i know you're busy)

OK, going off the thread now, to shut up & give others room to yack.

 

[Lindon Tinuviel]

Yes, it does. You have no guarantees of freedom of speech on private property or in a private forum.

You did.

 

[Lindon Tinuviel]

Do we need a new thread dedicated to beating up on Moriah?

 

[Erwin]

Please let's not start addressing individual members in this thread, address the issue, or I will close the thread.

And I am not picking on anyone in particular, or defending anyone, this is a general reminder only.

Hey, this is my first mod hat post, though I don't moderate.

 

[drstevej]

Nice hat

 

[Yyharssargyhaell]

Sorry Erwin. Didn't see your post until this one had gone up.

Y.

 

[Lindon Tinuviel]

Your very first one, ever?


ETA: Drat! You people are fast!

Who's beating up? Isnt moriah talking about freedom of speech? I am exercizing mine

 

[Time2BCounted]

i will bow out of the thread so as to not create a problem

 

[GreenMunchkin]

What're they doing debating such things anyway? I never said that they would be subjected to it. It would be in threads with titles that describe what the contents are, much like how we do today. (Isn't that odd?) If they chose to go into such a thread then that's their fault, not ours. Much like how a miscreant who goes into a Circle K and decides to rob the place bears the blame, not the store itself.

I find I dislike buzz-words. Too bad that was the only word I could think of at the moment.


Y.

Way to condemn. We ought to be more concerned with the impact it could have rather than assigning blame.

People who have been involved in the occult are drawn to it; horror movies and occult movies are huge because people are drawn to the dark. That's sinful, flawed, human nature for you. This should be a haven.

But I suppose as long as it's their own fault it's fine. Commendable ethos.

Too late.
