Nobody's mentioned deference.

Having a basic respect for other people isn't too much to ask.

just the numbers would be fine

just a few from 2 pages or so i read over (not going through the whole thread as I cba and I'm sure someone of the worst stuff has been deleted, but here goes...

http://www.thisisbigbrother.com/foru...&postcount=582

http://www.thisisbigbrother.com/foru...&postcount=610

http://www.thisisbigbrother.com/foru...&postcount=614

http://www.thisisbigbrother.com/foru...&postcount=617

Just some of the condescending posts I was on about. Again, I'm sure there are a lot more, but I have flu and I have no energy to look through the whole thread.

I mentioned it and if you think that someone has not been shown respect lets have the post numbers so we can see if you are right

Were you truly expecting someone to tell you why God is invisible? No... you just wanted to do a little bashing of people who do believe in God. Well, you've managed it perfectly. Half the world summed up and insulted and then accused of being overly sensitive.

Yes, you mentioned it, assuming people wanted religion/religious people to be treated with deference. Yet nobody in this thread has asked for or alluded to that at all?

Again, the very first post (along with the ones quoted by Ninastar), the actual basis of this very thread is mocking and condescending.

It's not actually the opener for a debate, it's a mocking comment.

To me, mocking =/= respect.

That is true statement about damnation

http://www.thisisbigbrother.com/foru...&postcount=610

That is not insulting its is saying that evidence from books is hardly evidence - again you want deference but why?

http://www.thisisbigbrother.com/foru...&postcount=614

? Kirk was trying to use creationism in a post, again you want deference

http://www.thisisbigbrother.com/foru...&postcount=617

thats kizzy trying to be funny and to be fair all posters use humour

It seems you want posters to defer to religion?

why?

Asking to not be mocked and belittled is asking for deference? Ok.

No Marsh it ie perfectly reasonable to ask the question


do a google search and see that it is a well debated topic and is answered by countless religious sites

and again, its not a compulsory thread

You asked a question "Why are Gods always invisible?" That's not a very well worded question to begin with, but that wasn't the sole content of the OP was it now?

Go back and refresh your memory....

religion can be mocked and thankfully it is as it deserves to be


if a poster is mocked then report them as it is against the rules



If I posted a thread about being scottish do you think being scottish would not get a roasting but I would not spend my afternoon getting upset about it and neither would josy, marc or lee or firewire

Ok, so now we're discussing something that hasn't happened? Ok.

Is discussing this thread itself not enough content for you?

i did not expect anything other than a good debate

I haven't said whether it should or shouldn't be.

You claimed it wasn't and it was simply a debate. It isn't. The thread is started by mocking religion.

It's your thread. You know why you created it. And it wasn't for an in depth debate on faith and religion. So to pretend it was and the poor offended religious people are spoiling any chance for a debate, maybe you should have started such a discussion to begin with?

The 27 pages have just mainly followed in the tone the thread began with. Substance-free and laughable.

Yeah, because countless people have started and created a decent discussion to begin with. Something your thread, sadly, completely failed at.

So well put. I don't see the point of arguing anymore, but you keep it up Marsh. You're better with words than me anyway.

...hmm indeed and an interesting concept that perhaps could be applied across the forum, don't give your views in a thread in earnest without expecting them to be mocked/laughed at/scoffed at...maybe applied to our children as well in their guidance...sweetie,anyone believing in a God or having a faith, just laugh at them because they're so silly and dumb, of quite a low intelligence don't you know...and those ridiculous children who have nothing and live in poverty in other countries...let's take away their 'God' as well, the 'God' in whatever form that they see is some small sign of good in their world of 'evil'....I somehow don't see that, that would ever lead to any future generations of tolerance and lacking of prejudice....


..anyways, I don't want to see a 'ganging up and mocking LT now' thing because that's equally not good either so I'm leaving the thread now...

Do you ever actually respond to something I've said, or are you always going to respond by diverting attention to something else?

The misunderstanding between myself, Kizzy and TS ended and was resolved pages ago?

Yet you're pointing back to it as though not wanting the focus to be brought back to the actual thread/post that started this so called discussion to begin with?
