Homosexual Debate Forum age restrictions ?

[eastcoast_bsc]

No, because that does not break the rules. Lying about your age and denomination are against forum rules and the agreement with CF.

And your going to validate age how ? Don't you find it a little dishonest when you start a post under one name and answer the OP under another ? If not dishonets, at least a little strange ?

 

[Kirilov]

Yeah, I think we recently had a guy on here who admitted he was agnostic/borderline atheist claiming to be a Christian. But he slipped up.

Hi. How do you mean I 'slipped up'?

You and racists, Nazis, sexists.....all victims of the nasty ol' tolerance movement.

If I remember correctly, you had a denominational symbol and yet you come in a forum admitting you do not believe in God and attacking Christian members in a forum where you are not even allowed to post.

You admit in one of your posts that banishment is inevitable.

And this became a topic of conversation when, in a heated moment, you admitted in one of your posts that you did not even believe in God and that it was contradictory to your own belief system.

LOL, all the homosexual supporters on here argue that these young people will lie about their ages to come in this forum and defend homosexuality, a symptom of relativism and false morality.

No.

The Lantern threads were started as quotes without comment. The quotes were given as topics for debate.

The reason he was used can be illustrated by the thread I started about Ryan White in which about the first dozen comments were not about the topic, but were personal emotional attacks against me.

I have found it to be impossible to have my threads debated past the personal attacks. For the most point, I no longer even post on a thread that is more than 30 posts long because of the degradent nature of the personal attacks from the homosexual community here.

It is also a fact that I intend to have threads I have started closed after the first 100 posts to keep them from becoming the garbage most threads degrade into past about twenty posts or so.

I'm pretty sure I set it to hide my denominational symbol. At least, it does on my browser? And I still stand by that quote. Perfectly justified and reasonable.

Haha, what? I didn't 'admit' anything in a 'heated moment'! In my very first post I came out and said I was an agnostic, which was pretty much the focal point of my being here, and asked a question pertaining to belief in God.

LOL, all the homosexual supporters on here argue that these young people will lie about their ages to come in this forum and defend homosexuality, a symptom of relativism and false morality.

And so they should, if the ridiculous age restrictions you advocate were to come into place. If you could take a minute out from the lol-ing that you're always busy with in these replies, tell me what about defending homosexuality is a symptom of relativism?

Tell me how lying and violating forum rules is not a symptom of relativism.

You said that you set your denominational symbol to hide ? I saw it and regardless of what you set it to, the moderators still see it. Re-read the rules. It states that you cannot misrepresent your denomination through the symbol and you may not post in congregational areas. Now, you say that minors should lie about their ages to over-ride CF policies about age rules.

defending homosexuality is a form of Christian relativism, because in Christianity, theology and scripture, it is sinful behavior.

But you are not allowed to debate on the topic of Christian relatvism and group Christians:

You and racists, Nazis, sexists.....all victims of the nasty ol' tolerance movement.

Now are you ?

You break all the rules and the commandment against lying, yet you preach to me about relativism ?

 

[UberLutheran]

Yes because they have the same life experience and education that a typical teenager.

You said it -- I didn't...

 

[ReformedChapin]

You said it -- I didn't...

wow just wow

 

[UnitedInChrist]

Yes, they aren't trained or mature enough to handle these though issues (unless in special cases).

"trained"? or we talking about people or animals? I don't know anyone on this board, but i can say this...some of the 16-18 year olds show a lot more maturity then some so called "adults". Should they post here...certainly. Funny that the one that created this thread typically posts false, misleading, and offensive material.

I've had great posts with him, and have never seen him attack anyone. He may have attacked you, but that's so easy, and most on here do it quite often. I totally disagree with CFs "laws" and that they do not allow people to post. It's way to "clincial" and takes away from good debate. Another topic completely.

We're speaking education, something a lot of people here need. They just say "you're wrong" and cannot justify their proposition.

agreed. alot of "that's stupid" or "prove it" or "so what" comments on here that would be the comments of a child.

Well "prove it" should be presented under the correct circumstances. One cannot have dogmatic irrational beliefs.

Why don't you go to a gay forum and see what happens when you post you are a Christian and see what kind of a reception you get ? And, in general the reception you would get in just about any non-Christian public forum.

That is why the homosexual topic and non-Christians are not supposed to be posting on most of the forums on CF. Posts and threads are in a Christian context without having to get torn down by visitors.

There are hundreds if not thousands of sights for non-Christians to go and cuss and talk graghically about sex. Go there, don't break forum rules and misrepresent yourself on CF.

Nobody here is breaking forum rules, or talking graphically about sex. If they were, we have mods to sort that out. Since this is part of CF dedicated to talking about homosexuality, there's going to be some discussion relating to sex and sexuality, but there's nothing graphic being posted. We don't need an age restriction.

Why would I do that? If I'm going to a "gay forum" why would I bring up religion? Unless there was a board for it..then I would, otherwise it's not the place for it. The reception here has been good. No complaints. it's a faith based forum, and they have threads specific to homosexuality..so no issue. "Visitors" are reality. let them tear it down, and give their comments. Perhaps if one learns, or maybe we can learn something from them, then great..it's all worth it. Otherwise, it's always the same people and what learnings do we have besides none?

As for talking graphically about sex...u do that quite well here. This is a thread on HOMOSEXUALITY. Graphic sex need not, nor should it be, part of any conversation here. It has not bearing on the topic at hand..at all.

So logically you joined a site that has rules, but you don't think they should have them, so you see nothing wrong with breaking them?

That's like saying yes I know Jesus said that if you lust it is the same thing as you doing it, but I don't like that rule so if you want to do it it is ok.

Oh I know rules are made to be broken, I keep forgetting that.

The Bible says we shouldn't encourage people to commit sins, doesn't it?

The times we live in are so............if it feels good do it or if you break the rules it isn't your fault because the rules are to clinical or it isn't my fault because I was raised on the wrong side of the track,

I didn't believe God ever said anything like that, and would love to study on that if you could supply the scriptures for me? Thanks!

Do you go to scripture to see what color you should paint your house, or if you should even paint it at all? Do you go to scripture to find out which dr is best to cure what maybe ails you? do you go to scripture to find out what the weather is going to be tomorrow so you can dress appropriately? They all sound sorta stupid right? Why then are you comparing what I said to scripture? Who said anything about "doing things because it feels good and break rules b/c they're clinical"? If you break rules..you need to go to scripture to find support? I guess what I should ask you is do you do anything in life without scipture?

As for me..my point is I want to learn something from the non-christian, and why they turned their back on Christianity. How else to find something like that out? By speaking to Christians? I understand this is a Christian forum, but sorry...he came here for a reason, and while he's here I'd like to learn something. I find it no differnet than when I was kicked out of a fundamentalists room because I didn't have a fundamentalist icon to say I was one. How nice it is to keep everything packaged up so nicely so you can keep asking and keep debating with others that hold the same feelings. God forbid someone's belief system should be rocked by someone that has an opposing opinion.

I'm not sure I get the point of this. I hung out for several years at a small forum focused on transsexuality. I was very openly Christian (as was another member), and not transsexual, and got along very well with everybody there (except, sometimes, the other Christian, who could be somewhat cruel at times. I got the impression that her ability to empathize had been partially stripped away, due to the abuse she received from her good Christian parents because of her gender bending).

Occasionally, somebody would say something about "Jesus-freaks" that might have been considered mildly offensive, but then somebody else would jump in and respond with "you know, Mling and [other person] sort of fall into that category" and they would apologize and clarify.

I have never noticed any widespread anti-Christian sentiment within the gay community. Only anti-"people who are anti-me" sentiment.

That's weird because every forum I go to outside of (sometimes inside CF) they fight Christianity.
