Religion and Ethics

[Gracie]

This is why I enjoy the Coffee Shop. Some are in there I don't like, or disagree with on topics NOT for a cyber coffee shop. Foxfyre has rules and we obey them. And its pleasant. Easygoing. Informative. Funny. Sad at times. And just people talking about their day and others relating to it with no nastiness. Too bad a forum for religion cannot be the same.

 

[Pogo]

Is there a possibility of moving Religious and Ethics to Zone one?

I'm tired of chasing down trolls that only want to bash religion.

Does Religion really get that much traffic?? I don't see it.

I agree with post 2. Religion/spirituality is a personal matter. Others don't have a right to dick-tate what others have to believe in.

Then don't enter. Some WANT to discuss similar beliefs in comraderie...some WANT to learn of other beliefs. Nobody is "dick tating".

And yes, it is a busy forum but most just read because of attitudes like yours.

"Attitudes like mine"?

So you think outside people SHOULD dick-tate what other people's beliefs should be? Looks like you just did a complete 180 from your own post 66.

Kinky.

Yes, attitudes like yours. It was not meant to offend you. It's just how you said what you said and how I took it in context to my opinion. Besides, you like kinky.

I sure do, and thank you for recognizing a compliment milady

I think you may have completely misread what I wrote up there though.

is the troll?

Bulldog, I agree with almost every post of yours on this thread. There really isn't any such thing as trolling on a political forum, since everything any of us hear from a member of the other side of the aisle sounds like trolling. Trolling is just normal political discourse on political boards. If a mod steps in to decide what trolling is, it will result in partisan censorship.

If you see a thread that you want moved to another subforum, just post a bunch of vile stuff on it and a mod will move it away from where the nice Christian who posted it in the religion section, and stick it in the some other sub forum where it can be turned into a circus. The mods work in your favor because they think they are fixing trolling, but they are really working for you.

You really don't know what Trolling is?

What Is Internet Trolling?
In simple terms, trolling is when someone comments or responds to something you post, usually in a confrontational way that is designed to garner a strong, emotional reaction. Although many people use the term in contexts where a sense of humor is appreciated, the truth is that internet trolling can get pretty nasty and isn't always a laughing matter.


The Urban Dictionary has a bunch of definitions under the term “trolling,” but the first one that pops up seems to define it as simply as possible. So, according to the Urban Dictionary’s top-rated definition for “trolling,” it can be defined as:

"the deliberate act, (by a Troll – noun or adjective), of making random unsolicited and/or controversial comments on various internet forums with the intent to provoke an emotional knee jerk reaction from unsuspecting readers to engage in a fight or argument."

Wikipedia defines it as:

"a person who starts quarrels or upsets people on the Internet to distract and sow discord by posting inflammatory and digressive, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the intent of provoking readers into displaying emotional responses and normalizing tangential discussion, whether for the troll's amusement or a specific gain.”

There is a good reason why moderators are carefully chosen, they will know what Trolling is, it is clear YOU don't.

From wikipedia:
A variety of methods are deployed in politics, which include promoting one's own political views among people, negotiation with other political subjects, making laws, and exercising force, including warfare against adversaries.

Politics are ugly. So ugly that people kill each other and do horrible things to each other. Trolling is nothing, it is absolutely par for the course, it is typical political discourse. If you don't see trolling on a forum, you are on a gardening forum. Political forums are nothing but trolling. Anybody who thinks political forums can be anything else is having a pipe dream. Trying to eliminate trolling on a political forum that was designed for it would make things REALLY busy behind the scenes...

That sure was a long description of what normal political discourse is.

This should be enough even for a caveman to understand:

"the deliberate act, (by a Troll – noun or adjective), of making random unsolicited and/or controversial comments on various internet forums with the intent to provoke an emotional knee jerk reaction from unsuspecting readers to engage in a fight or argument."

It doesn't matter of it is politics or not, you are looking foolish here.

That is a beautiful and succinct definition of normal political discourse.

Let's Examine Claims of Atheists

The Fallacy of Science vs. Religion

The atheists' frequent claim that science and religion are mutually exclusive is demonstrably false. If atheists were as "rational" and "intelligent" as they are always claiming, they would not resort to mendacity. Science pursues truth.

The list of scientists as men and women faith is long and growing.

List of Christians in science and technology - Wikipedia

“Science is not only compatible with spirituality, it is a profound source of spirituality. The notion that science and spirituality are somehow mutually exclusive does a disservice to both.”
” - Demon Haunted World, page 29, by Carl Sagan

“I believe in God more because of science than in spite of it.” – William Phillips, Nobel Laureate in Physics

and more in post one

=====

I am an Atheist, shall I ignore the hard nasty bashing made by a religionist?

IMO, threads like those belong in forums where bashing is authorized, aka Zone 3.

but for atheists, and assholes, (notice how I separate them), there is no place for them trolling in R&E.

Love this , atheist can't respond to religious threads. You have to be kidding.

A variety of methods are deployed in politics, which include promoting one's own political views among people, negotiation with other political subjects, making laws, and exercising force, including warfare against adversaries.

Politics are ugly. So ugly that people kill each other and do horrible things to each other. Trolling is nothing, it is absolutely par for the course, it is typical political discourse. If you don't see trolling on a forum, you are on a gardening forum. Political forums are nothing but trolling. Anybody who thinks political forums can be anything else is having a pipe dream. Trying to eliminate trolling on a political forum that was designed for it would make things REALLY busy behind the scenes...

Ha ha, are you suggesting that members here have killed other members here because of politics?

Your confused rationalizations are hilarious.

Members here have killed because of politics. That guy who shot up a movie house in Louisiana posted here quite often.

That isn't what trolling is..... , I am talking about Trolls who post for the deliberate effort to generate angry replies, with often obscure off topic statements.

You are apparently clueless.....

You're the one that brought up members here killing for political reasons dumb ass.
I don't have a problem with an on topic requirement. Whining because somebody questions your silly claims is just something you will have to get used to.

No I didn't bring it up, are you trying lie to me?

It was EvMetro who brought it up and what I was responding tom from post 103 he writes:

Your quote of me did not include me saying anything about members killing anybody. I am not surprised though, since baseless claims like that (trolling), really are normal on a political board.

Nice trolling.

is the troll?

Bulldog, I agree with almost every post of yours on this thread. There really isn't any such thing as trolling on a political forum, since everything any of us hear from a member of the other side of the aisle sounds like trolling. Trolling is just normal political discourse on political boards. If a mod steps in to decide what trolling is, it will result in partisan censorship.

If you see a thread that you want moved to another subforum, just post a bunch of vile stuff on it and a mod will move it away from where the nice Christian who posted it in the religion section, and stick it in the some other sub forum where it can be turned into a circus. The mods work in your favor because they think they are fixing trolling, but they are really working for you.

You really don't know what Trolling is?

What Is Internet Trolling?
In simple terms, trolling is when someone comments or responds to something you post, usually in a confrontational way that is designed to garner a strong, emotional reaction. Although many people use the term in contexts where a sense of humor is appreciated, the truth is that internet trolling can get pretty nasty and isn't always a laughing matter.


The Urban Dictionary has a bunch of definitions under the term “trolling,” but the first one that pops up seems to define it as simply as possible. So, according to the Urban Dictionary’s top-rated definition for “trolling,” it can be defined as:

"the deliberate act, (by a Troll – noun or adjective), of making random unsolicited and/or controversial comments on various internet forums with the intent to provoke an emotional knee jerk reaction from unsuspecting readers to engage in a fight or argument."

Wikipedia defines it as:

"a person who starts quarrels or upsets people on the Internet to distract and sow discord by posting inflammatory and digressive, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the intent of provoking readers into displaying emotional responses and normalizing tangential discussion, whether for the troll's amusement or a specific gain.”

USMessageboard
Where your voices count.

It is not just politics here. Whatever made you think it was JUST politics? Have you looked around here? There are many forums. Many topics that have nothing to do with politics.
Your voice counts in all the forums whether it be gardening, The Garage, The Coffee Shop, Jokes and Humor, etc etc.
I didn't join for political talk or even debate. There is another place that IS for just debating politics. This ain't it.

I joined due to the multitude of topics. If you joined for just politics and this is not what you thought, perhaps you should seek out political boards ONLY?
