Greetings to all,
Social Activists are using the internet as a propaganda machine to control the way people think. As the saying goes, "garbage-in garbage-out." Currently there are internet “cyber-cities” that are dedicated to distorting the good news that Jesus died for sinners. They attempt to make all Christendom look hateful and uncaring, by attacking the biblical definitions of sin. Sin is what put Christ on the cross to start with, but this has been distorted to a message of hate.
The propaganda web-sites ARE persecuting at the intellectual level because of their campaign to subjugate Christians from sharing the good news of the gospel.
persecution:
1. The act of persecuting.
2. A program or campaign to subjugate or eliminate a specific group of people, often based on race, religion, or social beliefs.
I’m collecting information about internet "cyber-cities" that receive the infamous "tombstone" award for "unfriendliness toward Christians."
Please share yours as well.
There are certain internet communities that have earned their reputation, as Jesus said:
My example is the http://www.sciforums.com/ religion sub-forum, at the sci-forums cyber-city, which is clearly dominated by atheists. The religion sub-forum is an atheist forum --imagine that!!! The forum allows you to present the doctrinal belief that man is a sinner, but the gospel message of salvation through Jesus Christ is strictly forbidden. Hence, by filtering out the gospel message, they reinforce their own misguided beliefs that say Christians are only interested in bashing sinners, because the forum only allows half the gospel message sans love.
It touts itself as an open-minded community, and it seems to be, except when somebody mentions Christianity.
One of my earliest, not-so-fond memories, was being labeled a "xian", a "religious nutter", and a “nutbar”. The name of Christ is unmentionable you see, and it is replaced by a mere "x" as in "x-mass". To encourage myself a little in this depressing graveyard of a spiritually-dry-place, I said, "Well, even in their own denial they still give me the sign of the cross."
Followers of Christ (according to the moderators and web-site devotees) are cultic lunatics lead by the cause of hatred, bigotry, and persecution of their fellow man. Sciforums is an intelligent community you see, and they take great pride in letting you know how unintelligent you are for believing in God. It presents the ”Jesus myth” as though there is a factual basis to abandon the universally accepted axioms of historicity. This is “intelligence” at work.
On a religion forum one might think Christianity would be appropriate for an open, objective, intelligent discussion. And when you go there, you will be told your faith is receiving fair treatment. I don’t know any Christians there that would agree, however.
Please let me present an example. This particular post (on CF) was shared verbatim on the sciforums religion forum:

It was deleted and the moderator said:
In an act of censorship, the entire thread was simply removed PERIOD. Admittedly, the peppering the OP received from the atheist die-hards left little to salvage except the OP itself.
I responded:
I went on to say:
In a private message, another Christian gentleman quoted my words and said strangely this was his exact same experience at sciforums.com, after visiting there for only a short period of time. In a vain public-relations attempt, The moderator went on to say how fair his web sub-forum was, but apparently he can't own up to it, because he deleted that post -- he simply had no defense.
Well anyway on a scale of one to ten, I give this "sciforums community" eight tombstones. When you leave that graveyard, shake the dirt from your feet. You'll be glad you did.
PS: please remember to recount your experiences as well.

Mark 6:11 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.

It was deleted and the moderator said:
You come here and pretend to be interested in discussion and discourse, but you really want to proselytize your message of hatred for homosexuals.
Your precious "peer reviewed" thread (a few quote-mined citations do not imply peer review) wasn't deleted at all. It was moved to the appropriate forum.
In an act of censorship, the entire thread was simply removed PERIOD. Admittedly, the peppering the OP received from the atheist die-hards left little to salvage except the OP itself.
I responded:
I thought the message was rather loving. It seems if anyone wants to help a homosexual, he actually hates him:

"The reality today is that growing secularist intolerance threatens to redefine Judeo-Christian beliefs as 'prejudice, intolerance,' or worse, 'hatred.'"
I went on to say:
As far as fairness goes, the forum is fair in your opinion, and those that are likeminded with you. There is no freedom of speech here for a christian that wants to state what they honestly believe -- your rules forbid that.
Take my last thread for example -- it was cordial, well researched, well written, and had been peer reviewed. You had it conveniently deleted, and would not even respond to my PM.
