When you say 'near future' do you know something the rest of the world doesn't? Date setting is just fear-mongering. At least you are saying that the dead will be raised before the living. If you do nothing about your salvation until you see that actually happen you will be at the end of tribulation rather than prior.
Nobody is ever ready to meet Christ.
Heb:10:31: It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
Funny, I thought the critter was supposed to have healed people with his hands. His "father" however, appears to be the bloodthirsty one. It seems kind of moot, though. If the guy existed at all, he died quite a few years back and only shows up in grilled cheese sandwiches and banana skins.

:D I think if I ever met a Jesus Christ, I would have to tell him I think his dad is an a-hole and not very bright. He can keep his idea of rapture.

If I call another person a well-desreved IDIOT, I am given time off.

When the quote below offends millions of Christians (well, at least more than one on this forum) the poster gets a free pass.

Please explain on ban.

What un Holy things were you going to do with that banana?

lol You could have said that in a PM to Ron, so I think you're just running around the mulberry bush.
Besides, you have opinions I don't think are very bright either, but I let them pass. Each to his own, and all that.

You're missing the difference between a direct insult to another poster ('You are an idiot') with a theoretical comment to a being that may or may not exist or have existed.

That's the difference.

True, but I'd like to see Ron or any of the other moderators give their reasons.

No, I am not, and there is NO difference.

You can call me - personally - any name you want. In my 71 years of life I am sure I have been called worse than that, by better people than you. I just consider the source. It takes a REALLY SMALL person to take offense to such name-calling.

But the diffrence is that AnnaG's post is offensive, derisive, disrespectful and to anyone and everyone who happens to have a view different from hers.

So, basically, I'd like the moderators to explain why is it OK to offend many, but not Ok to offend one?

NOT IN A PM, but publicly, so we all know!

It might help if you asked for the reason. :)

I see nothing of offensive in this post that would be considered an insult. Anna expressed her opinion to how she felt about the Almighty. We'll your almighty. If he does exist I think he can deffend himself ;) .

The same could be said about the one who called someone else a name. I don't care if you call me an idiot. I know better than you what I am.

But the diffrence is that AnnaG's post is offensive, derisive, disrespectful and to anyone and everyone who happens to have a view different from hers.
Nope. I meant exactly what I said. I don't care if others have a different opinion, I wasn't speaking for them. But that the Christian god is a nasty piece of work was and is my opinion. So why would you take offense? Do you think you are the Christian god or Jesus for that matter?

So, basically, I'd like the moderators to explain why is it OK to offend many, but not Ok to offend one?

I was told that it is the rules after asking about it. It wasn't that tough of a job to ask.

"Not according to the rules of this forum, I can't.
That's another difference; some of us can grasp the concept that there are forum rules about insulting and attacking other posters."

TenPenny, rest assured, no matter what vile name you called me personally, I would only consider the source, and I would NOT report you. If you got banned for it, I would plead with the moderators to let you back on. After all, no condemnation is worse than the one coming from yourself.

I find it far more offensive when a group of people is maligned by those who consider themselves better than those whom they malign.

Maybe the rules of the Forum need revisiov to be more logical and realistic.

So who did that? If anything all I did was show disrespect and offense to the Christian god, not its followers.

No rules need to be revised . There was a bonified priest here a couple of years ago that attacked gays , pagans athiest. He never got banned for it.
