Forum etiquette #2

Did any of them succeed in starting conversations between people of different beliefs? Did any of them involve post after post of me regurgitating ideology using copy pastes and ideas drawn from a small number of writers? Which of those threads did I use as a vehicle for "preaching" or "teaching" the community? On which of them did I try to dismiss or suppress the voicing of dissent or different perspectives?

To be fair to you, some of your threads were attempts at objective chat.

You have your style.
I have mine.

You really don't have to follow me around like Ahab hunted Moby Dick. I mean I don't mind all that much. But I can get off what I want to convey without the distraction of playing whack-a-mole with you.

"Mother Teresa's sainthood "

What do you think about the Catholic Church's practice of creating "Saints"?

"Whack-a-mole"? Are you actually interested in discussion, disagreement and dissenting views from non-Christians at all?

According to you, did any of them involve me regurgitating dogma using copy pastes and ideas drawn from favoured ideologues? How many of my threads do I use as a vehicle for "preaching" or "teaching" the community through long monologues split up into installments? Which of my threads was clearly created not in the spirit of starting debates and discussions on a debate and discussion forum?

What is your complaint about this one Thread 167585? How was ot "propagandizing"? Did you listen to the material at the link?

No I did not listen to it.
I'll take your point and remove it if there is still edit capability on my post.

But to say you have no ideology to propagate is like saying Captain Ahab just only incidently bumped into Moby Dick from time to time.

You're hunting Christians with a desire to speak of the life and teaching of Jesus.
No, its not paranoia. You're hunting them.

I can see you yelling in the end like Ahab, lance in fists - "Oh Ye Dammit Follower of Jesus!! I spend my last breath on thee !!"

Thrust!
Thrust!
Thrust!

The Precariat and Religion

What's wrong with a discussion about religion in the context of people struggling economically? It's certainly relevant in a country like where I live where Islam offers certain support to people living in poverty. What was "propagandizing" about inviting people to discuss that on a Spirituality Forum?

So what is your complaint/accusation with regard to the material?

It's interesting that you used the word "paranoia".

I go by the New Testament's teaching that a Christian believer is by definition a saint.

( First Corinthians 1:2 )

Each redeemed person is in the position of being a saint.

So what is your complaint/accusation with regard to that thread I started? Was it a misuse of a debate and discussion forum in some way?

Yep. Interesting isn't it ?
You see I anticipate your comments much more than you probably realize.

No, you have missed the point completely. For you to come on to a forum that is not a Christianity Forum and then liken yourself to a whale being stabbed to death when non-Christians engage you ~ and then claim it's not paranoia on your part ~ it's interesting, but perhaps not in the way you think it is.

Is Proselytizing sometimes morally unsound?

Divination

'Apocaholism'

The Followers of Christ sect, Idaho

Similar to Scientologists?


The Precariat and R ...[text shortened]... Gospel of Christ in a bad light ?
No propagandizing agenda FMF ?
No soapbox for New Atheism ?

Oh. I see you have edited this list several times even after it has been replied to three or four times. Oh well never mind. Back to the question:

How many of the threads you have listed have been attempts to start conversations with a bunch of people with different beliefs?

How many of my threads were merely vehicles for multiple-posts-in-a row propagating an ideology using extensive quotes or idea lifted wholesale from ideologues?

And I am not going to read it now.
If a few examples do not establish my point, so be it. There just not good examples.
All told you comments establish the point - you're just as strongly ideology driven.

You see chit chat like this can be is monotonous and boring too.
I find expounding on experience and Scripture with subsequent worthy questions more substantive often then chit chatting questions ad nauseam like this.

The charge of plagiarism is bogus. You're bogus for supporting it.

In other words all people who examine me I compare to your behavior ?
You're saying you represent the quintessential questioner of my posts ?

You're saying you are to me the standard model of all question asking examiners ?
