Lunastock/WAB,
You aren't serious about enforcing this are you?

I can be critical of any religion, culture, people, or anything, I choose to be critical of.

Well if we have to pretend to think that islam is a serious religion i guess we might as well do it for scientology too. Heck, we've been pretending to take Catholics seriously for centuries...

In their favor, at least Scientologists don't behead pacifistic female aid workers or blow themselves up in groups of children.

Hmmm. Now that i think of it, if the Great Satan led West is so evil, why is it that Scientology has never called for any sort of a Scientollah or Scihad against the West?

Surely the great and all knowing prophet L.Ron Hubbard(NYTBS) was wise enough to see us as the evil oppressors of religious freedom that we are...???

LOL.

So is there a rule or not? You guys better discuss this and come to a conclusion. Lunastock did announce rules on the Dem moslem's thread.

No, but they do let their people die from colds because "they don't need medicine, it's all in their heads".

Maybe I was serious, maybe not. Mostly I just wanted to villify you by listening to your request.

And anyway..Scientology really isn't getting trashed on this forum..so I figured why not ban mocking it here, then go home and laugh till it hurts while watching re-runs of TROC?

Oh cmon now..

[Lunatock]

Oh cmon now..

That's certainly not a hypocritical statement, after I uploaded & posted screenshots of the last episode. Then mailed them to scientology.

That is the correct approach, and that has been WAB's approach; but then one should use threats and be singled out for "punitive action" when one is not even critical and instead is sardonic and that too on arguments which are logical spinoffs from p[revious posts !

A nice commentary on authority and it has nuances from religions too!

Worth a read by some, if not all.

Not serious?

Joking?

wow!

Shouldn't take you seriously?

Please be precise.

And pray how you were villifying? It is too ethereal for folks like me.

I think people should be free to discuss religion, whether it be islam, christianity, scientology, or hinduism.

Can I open a thread about hinduism? I've got a lot of questions for our hindu forumers...

[Bill]

Good idea. Hopefully you'll have better luck getting your answers than i did in trying to figure out what possessed Mohammed to have sex with a 9 year old.

And not having the guts to give you answers, I get the sniped at in the post by Moderator Lunatok.

But then the justice is Blind, and law is an ass!

People should not be afraid. I am remind of Aung San Suu Kyi who has said that Fear is not the natural state of civilized people.

Luna is just irked because im picking on his cult.

I've never really had at the core beliefs of islam and it's founder before. I just gave the board a tiny taste of the kind of nutjob that mohammed was.

A conquering, war mongering, pediophelic, and sociopathic madman is in my most humblest of opinions.......not the ideal messenger of God.

Hell, "Allah" might as well have picked Ghengis Kahn or Vlad the Impaler as his messenger.

Remove the three words 'be free to' and you have the perfect statement.

If a concept, in this case, 'religion', encompasses various systems which can drive people to burn others at the stake, marry children, burn widows, cut off hands, blow themselves up and so on, then it is most definitely a moral duty of every freedom-lover that he should 'discuss' it.
