no and you should know that
I would question who you hang around with
if
you didn't know that
Suck up buttercup, or you can leave the forum if you can't take the heat.
All the whining in this thread...
:rotfl:
I have been here for a long time ... and even when I get frustrated, TOL is still the most enjoyable forum I have ever participated in.
I don't like everyone. There are a few I strongly dislike. However, there are so many kind and decent people on TOL, I am able to overlook the few bad apples.
I was truly stunned by the amount of support I received from many of the members on TOL after my daughter's death. I haven't seen that quality of members in other forums, and it makes a difference.
TOL is my *cyber home* ... so despite the small annoyances and imperfections, for me, it's worth working through.

Pay closer attention Stripe. That was in response to the specific question, "Why don't you think TOL gives a positive impression of Christianity?"
If you think I'm actually whining about that, you really haven't been paying attention.

Again, I'm not complaining. I appreciate your dilemma.
:mock: whiner
Fair treatment of everyone????:rotfl: my gosh, you have no idea what you joined! I've been banned so many times people thought my name was "Banned". One time I think I got banned because I forgot to floss.....:Nineveh:

I don't know if this is actually true or not. But if it is, then I am in favor of an imposed bias to keep that from happening. Because although I'm not 'that kind' of Christian, I come here to interact with lots of different points of view, including theirs. I want them here. I want them to share their ideas and opinions. I don't want to change them or chase them away. Even if I don't understand or agree with them.
I sometimes turn my nose up at the bias around here and how it's enforced. But I have to remember that there are folks here who would be just as happy to see me gone, too. So in a way, bias is all relative. I like the differences, and if it takes some bias to keep us all here and civil, so be it.

I can understand that. But I find it extremely informative that right-wing Christianity can only survive in protected environments, and as soon as the playing field is leveled, it gets demolished.

Sorry to see you got banned for this. Wow.
You know what this place could use?
It's hard to remember.

Now on Christ and name calling...my impression was that he scourged the willfully wicked, who traded on the Holy and misled people or lived hypocritical lives from a position of trust and leadership within the temple. The only time I can recall him doing something else was with the Canaanite woman and there, unless you really aren't paying attention, he seems more interested in demonstrating the humility of her faith than anything else. Oh, and he called a favorite Satan to get his serious attention and to drive home a point that would be needed by Peter later in his ministry about defining our will by God's and not the other way around...not exactly on par with calling people morons or retards, etc. But to each his own and let what proceeds from the mouth define.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Or at least a good card game. Remember the other place, the alternative when times were hard lemonade wasn't? You had games there...and maybe rabbits.
It's hard to remember.
You had to be here. And even then it was touch and go.Wait, what?

About where I come down.
There's something worthwhile in most people around here, though some make it harder to find than others. :think: Can't say my ire rises to the level of more than gruff disappointment with anyone I can think of here. Some are a mix, with enough of the negative that I mostly don't bother talking to them except on a slow day.
And it's a better place for you being here. Which is one letter away from being true with a few others.

I find unbelievers extremely NOT fascinating.
That was Awesome!
I went over there and spent some hundred posts trying to bridge the gap.
It's good to get out once in a while.
