To the moderators...

Will my bible thread ever be re-opened? Or was it just too argumentative to be re-opened?

cshellenberger

I honestly don't know dear. I'm sorry it went down hill, we tried it since the Politcal discussions had gone well, but maybe it's not a topic that can go well on this type of forum. Too bad, it could have been enjoyable.

Jaylie

I am SO sorry that got closed! It was a great idea, and would've been perfect if it hadn't gone downhill, as cshellenberger said. So sorry! And they closed the other one too, even though it wouldn't have turned into any arguments. I say, if you don't want to hear about it, you don't have to click on that thread!

Katzyn

Yup. If you don't believe, that doesn't give you the right to say it doesn't exist. =)

I'm intrigued by how religion affects people. =O

cshellenberger

Jaylie,
I closed that thread. After what happened I though it best to let it rest for a while.

Yeah ,

I have a question
If you believe does that give you the right to say it does exsist?.

Its just a question nothing more!

Katzyn

It gives you the right to say you believe it exists, but not to force your opinion on someone who doesn't believe, I think. =)

iwantmypup

oh okay thanks for clearing that up for me !

sillylilykitty

Yeah, im sad it got closed because it was a great thread and I got my answer and I was so happy. I totally understand why it got closed though. I just dont want to go searching for a religion forum, its kinda hard to establish an account like I have here. But I guess if I really want to talk about it then I will have to find another forum. Probably wont happen since I barely have time to get on this one only.

Do NOT turn this thread into a continuation of the same pointless debate.

Katzyn

Perhaps when the thread is reopened, if it will be, anyone who purposely offends someone with a rude comment, a dismissal of beliefs, or whatnot, said person should be -warned-. If said person commits the act again, ban? Maybe a temp-ban, or such? I think if people want to -discuss- religion, then they should be allowed to, so long as it doesn't turn into a flame-fest. =/

But I'm fairly new here; maybe you guys do differently? =O

sillylilykitty

Yes sir! And I think my question was answered.

iwantmypup

Sorry RonE

Jaylie

Yeah, I think those are good rules...First a warning, then a ban...Maybe two warnings...Maybe one is too harsh.

sillylilykitty

There are already rules about that, how many warnings you get before you are banned.

Jaylie

Oh, really? How many warnings are there?

Curbside Prophet

If you see people disappearing, it's because they've been warned multiple times, yet continue to do what we ask them not to. The warnings are meant to benefit the member, but banning is meant to benefit the whole of our forum.

RonE

Somewhere on this BB there are some questions and concerns about dogs going unanswered because everyone would rather debate whether so-and-so should have had one more warning before being banned.

I'd like a show of hands from the dog lovers who are willing to get back to what we all do best: talking about dogs.

This is embarrassing. If anyone has stumbled across this normally excellent forum for the first time tonight, they are thinking, "Dog lovers? I don't see any dog lovers here."

And this is exactly why I will resist any efforts to encourage the kind of off topic debates that can best be handled elsewhere.

sillylilykitty

Im sorry my thread turned bad. I was hoping I could make a good thread where everyone could talk nicely but I guess that is impossible on this forum. I tried and I wont do it again. If I really want to know about that topic I will go elsewhere. But lets get back to dogs and other animals!
