Why do Christians love to censor

[Seshmeister]

I think Sarge in his wisdom wanted to have some balance in this forum by having Elvis and Ford as a kind of right/left balance.

What he didn't think about was that they both have deep held religous supertitions which is a problem.

Censorship for religious people is fucking water because historically they need to shut people up because otherwise logic might intervene and ruin their lies...

[LoungeMachine]

I don't think FORD and ELVIS could be further apart.

FORD doesn't wear his religion on his sleeve, nor chastise those who think/feel/believe differently.

What I've found in here, just as in the real world, is religious zealots of ALL faiths all have something in common.

INTOLERANCE.

Organized religion cannot tolerate free thinkers, or people who question anything.

ELVIS should not have closed ky's thread, but he played to his religious base. It was no coincidence the only peoplcalling for the closing of the thread were Christians who wear their beliefs in here on their sleeves.

FORD is above that nonsense. He's a religious scholar of sorts, being very well informed, but doesn't preach.

Just don't start any anti-Dean threads, and he's fine.

Fear, intolerance, and guilt. The three hallmarks of any religion

I don't where to begin with this garbage.

ELVIS closed the thread because it was offensive, not because it had anything to do with religion. More likely it had to do with 3,000 dead people who shouldn't be remembered as a tetris cartoon.

FORD's above the nonsense of editing and closing threads, so much so that it's become a standard joke around the Army. He's also above preaching so much so that he masquerades as Jesus Christ Himself, and his Unholy Evilness, Satan.

And Christians question plenty of things, but how would you know that since you've most likely never been one?

[FORD]

For the record, I've been against organized religion pretty much since I was a teenager.

Kind of like Jesus Himself

Thanks for sharing your opinion, and engaging in discussion.

Good thing this thread was not deemed "offensive" and closed, huh?

I agree.

What true God would require a membership card and dues?

Be kind to others, leave the place in better shape than you found it.

That is all.

Since Lounge has so kindly pointed out the pillars of the Christian faith, I'll point out the pillars of his faith by way of a cartoon:

[FORD]

Looks more like the "Five Pillars of the BCE" to me.

You do realize he's not really Jesus and Satan, right?

This isn't real.

Just wanted to let you know.

So true. That statement reminds me of my years of Catholic education...any time you questioned ANYTHING, you'd get the "A good Christian doesn't even THINK such thoughts" lecture. The three key words always being YOU - SHOULDN'T - THINK.

Yes, I realize that.

But here you were going on about how FORD doesn't preach sermons daily like ELVIS does.

It would have meant more if YOU drew it, Hammy.

Passing along someone else's joke to make some lame stab at me is weak.

Besides, it looks more like what your party has been "standing" for lately.

Proud of the Republican Party as it stands today?

Not when uncle Ronnie kept you safe, I mean 3.17.06

Proud of today's "conservative", are ya?

Think for yourself. You don't need a teacher's approval for that. Read books on your own time, do introspection on your own time, get the answers from somebody else if you have questions. These things aren't going to be spoonfed to you.

I am getting highly offended at Warham's comments, and that cartoon was highly offensive to me.

This thread should be closed immediately.

Yep, I'll always be proud of being a conservative.

By the way, I can draw that well, but I didn't want to waste my time making the point when somebody did it just as well.
