Interested in really making a difference this election cycle?

If God wouldn't save Sodom or Gomorrah, which were pretty tame compared to America, he's not gonna lift a finger to save us. <snort>

Different opinions doesn't make someone annoying. Unless of course they want to push theirs on you.

I don't have an issue with someone who has a different opinion. I do have an issue with people who's purpose in life is being a smart ***. Especially if they are a moderator...

I don't see a personal attack here. One may question your beliefs, but one must also be open to that in a public forum.
You have to remember, you injected God into your responses. That is ok. But that is much different than whether someone agrees with it or not.
Just calling it like I see it. Hey...and I'm religious.

Everytime I post something that has to do with my faith, I get smart assed responses from Turtle. This thread was directed to those of faith that my not have known about this organization. A moderator is a person who moderates the discussion to keep it in line and civil. Locking the thread if need be. It is not the moderator's duty to be the biggest smart *** on the site...

My point has been made. My objective of this thread was successful. Please Turtle, lock this thread or delete it if you wish!

And your point is?

This thread was directed to those of faith that my not have known about this organization.

But it was posted where anyone could comment, and we don't get to restrict the responses. Heck, some people can't get a straight answer to a simple question - it's the nature of a public forum in which the public has their own ideas.

A moderator is a person who moderates the discussion to keep it in line and civil. Locking the thread if need be. It is not the moderator's duty to be the biggest smart *** on the site...

Of course not - he has to take turns!

My point has been made. My objective of this thread was successful. Please Turtle, lock this thread or delete it if you wish!

Your objective [informing] was achieved the minute you posted the thread, but the commentary wasn't to your liking, so it should be cut off, or disappear?
Or is the right to express one's faith more important than the right to express one's skepticism?
:confused:

OK, you tell me. In what manner can I voice a differing opinion from you that will be to your satisfaction?

Post a different thread... Be respectful of other people whether you like their ideas or not. Unless of course your role as a moderator of this site dictates that you must be a smart ***.

It is called an open forum for a reason.

So open forum means that some of you can be abusive to others if you wish? I have better things to do with my time...

Honestly i do not see what turtle said that you claim to be abusive. I have had my differences with him but in this thread it looks like your offended more by what he said than how he said it. As they say choose your battles.

It is not just this thread...

Like I said, I have better things to do with my time. Some of us try to build others up. I will spend my time there. I have thought for many years that this site was a place of helping and respecting each other. You know what they say about a few bad apples...

Good day!
