You're not Obama, I'm not Trump, this isn't a court of law, and digging up nearly ten years' of historical context for newbies to the Religion group isn't my job or my idea of a good time. If you want to continue posting under the illusion that all your comrades in faith are friendly, understanding people and that the local atheists are a bunch of butthurt miscreants reading insult and injury where none exists, that's your prerogative. I don't care nearly enough to waste another second of my time trying in vain to divorce you of your biases.

What's with all the deleted posts? [View all] Lordquinton Mar 2017 OP

Or a fear of intolerance, and its effects? guillaumeb Mar 2017 #1

I don't follow Lordquinton Mar 2017 #11

It must remain a mystery. guillaumeb Mar 2017 #12

Still can't rule out Rapture... Lordquinton Mar 2017 #16

You knew what was in those threads. hrmjustin Mar 2017 #17

So did you Lordquinton Mar 2017 #18

This op was not necessary and violates the rules against meta in this room. hrmjustin Mar 2017 #19

No. Lordquinton Mar 2017 #20

If that is true then you would self delete this now that you got your answer. hrmjustin Mar 2017 #22

No? Lordquinton Mar 2017 #23

Of course you won't self delete this. hrmjustin Mar 2017 #24

I believe that deleting threads is a way of shutting down discussion Lordquinton Mar 2017 #27

If you want to open this group up to meta threads than that is a topic worth discussing. hrmjustin Mar 2017 #28

Keep pushing your meme Lordquinton Mar 2017 #37

It is a shame that games are being played in this room. hrmjustin Mar 2017 #42

There are other ways of shutting down discussion also. guillaumeb Mar 2017 #39

Which is the motive of some in this room. hrmjustin Mar 2017 #44

Well, as you noted, this IS a Meta discussion, and unrelated to the purpose guillaumeb Mar 2017 #45

I used to get so angry when certain poster used to stomp all over my threads hrmjustin Mar 2017 #47

Me too, hrmjustin. littlemissmartypants Mar 2017 #52

Based on reccent posting history, I would agree. guillaumeb Mar 2017 #62

Your recent posting? littlemissmartypants Mar 2017 #66

There are groups in which religious discussion is protected. Goblinmonger Mar 2017 #72

Ditto. eom littlemissmartypants Mar 2017 #76

I have no idea what that means. Goblinmonger Mar 2017 #81

Hahaha littlemissmartypants Mar 2017 #83

My apologies. Went right over my head. Goblinmonger Mar 2017 #84

That's ok, sorry to hear about your trouble. littlemissmartypants Mar 2017 #86

Death of a Salesman Goblinmonger Mar 2017 #87

Just a general observation on my part. guillaumeb Mar 2017 #77

Now we're talking. ♡ littlemissmartypants Mar 2017 #78

Another way to shut down discussion is by pressing the button. guillaumeb Mar 2017 #91

We have deleted posts in this forum all the time. hrmjustin Mar 2017 #2

No we don't. There are 7 on the front page, 6 by a single user. AtheistCrusader Mar 2017 #4

What is going on? hrmjustin Mar 2017 #5

Something odd. AtheistCrusader Mar 2017 #6

Do tell! hrmjustin Mar 2017 #7

If I knew AtheistCrusader Mar 2017 #9

This whole thing is just so amazing. hrmjustin Mar 2017 #10

Agreed. AtheistCrusader Mar 2017 #15

Something is going on. guillaumeb Mar 2017 #8

So it's a bad thing that this forum is getting a lot of traffic? Goblinmonger Mar 2017 #25

Any thoughts on why there is an increase of posts in here lately? hrmjustin Mar 2017 #29

Maybe a lack of "atheists suck" posts Goblinmonger Mar 2017 #30

I haven't noticed that but to be honest I rarely engage in those threads. hrmjustin Mar 2017 #31

It's a crazy world. Goblinmonger Mar 2017 #32

Indeed they do. hrmjustin Mar 2017 #33

And there are certainly atheists that are horrible, too. Goblinmonger Mar 2017 #34

We all have our moments. hrmjustin Mar 2017 #35

Do you participate in the religion sucks posts? Lordquinton Mar 2017 #38

I have. hrmjustin Mar 2017 #43

What's interesting about it? Act_of_Reparation Mar 2017 #57

Nice cartoon. hrmjustin Mar 2017 #58

♡ eom littlemissmartypants Mar 2017 #80

Which brings up the obvious response to your claim: guillaumeb Mar 2017 #40

"But the negative original posts about religion and believers seem to far outnumber the positives." Act_of_Reparation Mar 2017 #59

1) A claim was made. guillaumeb Mar 2017 #63

Yes, it is unreasonable. Act_of_Reparation Mar 2017 #67

If anyone makes a claim, they should be more than happy guillaumeb Mar 2017 #68

Now, that's a priggish response. Act_of_Reparation Mar 2017 #69

IS yours an evasive response? guillaumeb Mar 2017 #75

Evasive? I'm flat out refusing you. Act_of_Reparation Mar 2017 #82

Ok, let's apply this evenly Lordquinton Mar 2017 #73

If I state something as fact, what are the consequences? guillaumeb Mar 2017 #90

Well, your first comment was rebutted already Lordquinton Mar 2017 #94

Somehow I missed the rebuttal. guillaumeb Mar 2017 #96

Take that up with the person you were talking with about that issue Lordquinton Mar 2017 #98

That's not what I said Goblinmonger Mar 2017 #74

What you said: guillaumeb Mar 2017 #92

Your claim: "suggested that these negative posts might be a response to the many 'atheists suck'" Goblinmonger Mar 2017 #93

The "horrors of atheism"? guillaumeb Mar 2017 #97

Welcome to a politically left leaning discussion board. AtheistCrusader Mar 2017 #104

There was one not too long ago Lordquinton Mar 2017 #95

Are you kidding? beam me up scottie Mar 2017 #99

Atheist groups are also very cautious Lordquinton Mar 2017 #100

Good point. I run into anti-atheist sentiment often here in the bible belt. beam me up scottie Mar 2017 #101

Didn't you know? The cold water they splash on you to wake you up Lordquinton Mar 2017 #103

Someone died, rose and appointed delete police. littlemissmartypants Mar 2017 #65

They were links to a bigoted religious site. trotsky Mar 2017 #3

I wouldn't have hidden what she said. hrmjustin Mar 2017 #61

Accidental performance art? Lordquinton Mar 2017 #70

You can ask her. hrmjustin Mar 2017 #71

There is so much unintended irony here. :) (nt) bekkilyn Mar 2017 #79

That maybe true but my point still stands. hrmjustin Mar 2017 #85

Her OP's haven't been hidden Lordquinton Mar 2017 #88

Whatever! I didn't alert, or ask anyone to alert. hrmjustin Mar 2017 #89

When has that ever happened? AtheistCrusader Mar 2017 #105

I don't keep a list of my interactions with every poster. hrmjustin Mar 2017 #106

No need in either case. AtheistCrusader Mar 2017 #107

Of course. hrmjustin Mar 2017 #108

hey it was god's will. which god out of millions is not verified at this time nt msongs Mar 2017 #21
