(135,425 posts)The expression "Too clever by half" came to mind in the early days of this conversation. You're bearing that out with no small degree of aplomb.
The Interfaith group is for interfaith discussions, conversations between people of the same, or differing faiths, in a positive, constructive and supportive fashion. You go there to learn a little something, not tell people that you're smarter, they're bad, you're good, and they're wrong, and you're right--which is plainly what you're itching to do.
It's not a place to fight with people or call them names.
If you want to criticize the religious beliefs or practices of people of a specific faith, this group--the Religion Group--is the place to do that. No one is saying you can't make fun of people, or "criticize" them if you've just GOT to get your savvy-me "nyah nyah" on--you will just have to do it here.
You won't be permitted to tell DUers that their beliefs are absurd in the Interfaith group. It doesn't matter if they believe in the Flying Spaghetti Monster, or Mr. Spock, or the 2nd Coming of Teddy Ruxpin. So just get over trying to insinuate your way into a "what if" discussion. And read the doggone TOS. People who post on this board have to pass the TOS test, and people with racist, sexist or homophobic viewpoints (like the dino riders and six thousand year bunch) just aren't going to meet those criteria. You might as well ask me "Well, what if a Young Republican posts in your group, huh, huh? What THEN?"
It's a protected safe-haven. Capisce? And I'm thinking, since you clearly do not understand the purpose of the group, based on your willfully obtuse, dull and relentless line of questioning, that it's just not a good fit for you. You are welcome to challenge all the dinosaur riding creationists you can scare up here on DU, every single one you can find, right here in the Religion forum. Knock yourself out!
