Why is it okay for bigots to mock Christianity, Catholicism, and/or Evangelicalism?

[Anonymous]

It’s ok to mock the beliefs of those who are trying to foist their beliefs on others.

I don’t mock Judaism because they’ve never tried to convert me or interfere with my rights. Muslims in America leave me alone. Buddhists leave me alone. Only Bible thumping fundies yammer at me about Jesus and tell me I need to be saved and come to DC to try to make laws that annoy me and try to infiltrate our school boards and whine about the pledge of allegiance etc etc etc. So yeah, they get mocked.

If you don’t want to be mocked, stop being so annoying.

I’m very skeptical of the claim that there are all these bigoted posts out there that Jeff lets stay after they are reported. I just haven’t seen it, as a frequent reporter.

+1

+2 from another frequent reporter. I report multiple posts every day and I can count on one hand how many Jeff leaves up.

John 3:19 KJV

And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.


The world attacking Christianity is the proof it’s true.

No, it’s only proof we don’t like you because you are annoying because you say stuff as you’ve wave your crosses around and burn copies of Harry Potter.

Imagine having this level of persecution complex over someone saying Katherine Schwarzenegger is boring.

Narrow is the road to salvation and wide is the road to destruction. Satan is totally annoyed by Christians.

It’s not persecution… it’s affirming of Christ.

I don't think you are a real poster, but if you are, and this is the level of pretzel logic you require to support your beliefs, I have tremendous sympathy for you. It is very sad.

I was just going to post something similar. Who gets criticized? The people shoving their religion down your throats and taking away women’s rights.

Jeff will deny it and say the problem can easily be solved if posters would just report offensive posts or threads, but having to do that over and over again is exhausting. Moreover, the "ruling" more often than not is in favor of the offensive post, which does nothing to discourage the bigots from dancing very close to and often veer off of the edge.

It's Jeff's website, of course, and he can do what he wants. All I'm saying is that his insistence that he's a fair and impartial moderator when it comes to anti-Catholic postings on his website rings hallow with many of us. He's human, after all, and like all humans we're not always fully cognizant of our own prejudices and shortcomings.

Don’t blame Jeff just because you are too lazy to report. He can’t read every post FFS.

And don't be so lazy yourself. I said I do report, and too often the ruling is against me. I haven't read the thread that lead to this post, but I guarantee there's stuff in it that is objectively offensive and that has been reported and that Jeff has ruled against the reporter and not deleted the posts. That was my point. This is a good website and Jeff is a good moderator, but like every other human being he has his biases and they affect his decision making whether he acknowledges that or not. And, based on how I've seen him respond to anti-Catholic complaints, both in the context of when offensive posts are reported or when he responds to threads like this to explain his decisions, it's very clear to me that, to put it mildly, he's not exactly a fan of the Roman Catholic Church. And, again, that's fine -- let's just dispense with the pretense that it doesn't affect his decision making in the slightest.

Please link to any of the posts that you think I should have deleted but did not. This type of post is exactly like the "do you still beat your wife?" type of accusation. If I ignore it, it appears to be true. If I argue that it is not true, I look defensive. So, I end up in a no-win situation while you get to hide behind your anonymous posts.

It is no surprise that you have not read the thread that this thread is about. Yet, while complaining about biases, you feel justified in offering your own unsupported opinion. For your information, I have deleted every post from that thread that was reported. The original poster of this thread did not report a specific post, causing me to read the entire thread which was a giant waste of time. I strongly suggest that you waste an equal amount of time before offering your clearly biased opinion about what I have or haven't done.

I've seen this from you before, Jeff, when other posters (not me) have called you out about this. You get very defensive and come out swinging. Ever ask yourself why that is?

You could go anywhere on Al Gore’s internet, but you choose to spend your time here, trying to provoke the moderator of a site you think hates you and your beliefs. Ever ask yourself why that is?

The only "Bigot" is you. You use it daily on this forum. You don't even know how to use that word.

Personally I am a huge fan of Harry Potter hate Jk Rollins she's sub human. So are Christian blible thumpers who think they should impose their crap on others. Sound familiar?

Same, I love Harry Potter and hate JK Rowling. See how that works, we can both distinguish between the two.

Your bigotry comes when you lump all Christians into one bible-thumping bucket. Yes, some are detestable pro-lifers, but even about half of Catholics are pro-choice and a solid majority of mainline protestants (me) are pro-choice.

Own your bigotry.
