"gothic

I trashed a post of yours in General Apologetics. It is offensive to Christians which violates the forum rules.

satan is the good guy in the bible. he teaches humanity to think for itself, and his body count is a lot lower.

This is an unofficial warning from the Christian forums staff.

my reply:

-amused-

if its in apologetics, its available for christians and non christians both. do you deny satan's body count is lower, and that he introduces the concept of good and evil to the first couple? please provide proof supporting your answer

Well of course I would recommend not reading it, but if you're going to believe, you should read up a little on what you're getting into.

Because they are funny in their fundiness. Either that or they can be used to pass the time on a slow day.

her reply:

I don't want to debate you in pm. This about forums rules, which are at the discretion of the moderator. This mod found your post offensive, and therefore trashed it. There are ways to debate without posting offensive to Christians things. You may want to re-read the rules that you agreed to to register for this forum.

my reply:

so, if I were to post something offensive to nonchristians; for example, that slavery is ok (Exodus 21:2-6 and Ephesians 6:5 ), infanticide is ok (1 Samuel 15:3 and Psalms 1 35:8 & 136:10) or that women should stay out of power (Isiah 3:12);

thats all ok, cuz its bible verses - but if I say that since god is commanding all this, perhaps hes not the good guy, my posts get deleted?

I ask for clarification.

In the post in question that I trashed, you implied that God is a murderer, and is more evil than satan. This is highly offensive to Christians. I trashed the post. Re-read the rules if you need clarification. If you still need clarification, my admin is Blackhawk and you may send him a pm if you like.

me: are you saying god is *not* a murderer? I think genesis 6 covers that well enough.

Excellent, this is most amusing. Remember to post exact, bible supported proof for everything :D

So supporting mass murderers is not offensive to Christians. Hmmm, that actually makes sense in some cases.

Does this person not understand that repeating "It was offensive, I trashed it" over and over is not a reply to your question?

Psst! C'mere! Secret to tell ya. :D

Almost any kind of history book should be taken with a grain of salt, especially translated "holy books." Common sense should tell you what to take as literal, what to take as moral and what to take as something relating to ancient culture.

So I think any holy book, Koran, Torah or Bible, should be taken with a grain of salt. Inspired or not, they are still written by men, not God, and can, and almost will definately be, wrong in certain cases.

Didn't Luther encourage reading the Bible? Of course, the dick got a nasty shock when the people's conclusions disagreed with his own.
