RadeonGuy, you really need to think things over and adopt a more mature posture. "People" like yourself are the main reason that Christianity catches the flack that it does. Calm down, realise that you should be ashamed of your post, and resolve to handle things better in the future, OK?

I don't take any one person as a representative of a group, unless that group officially presents that person as an official representative.

Yes. Christianity is a cult.

What are your thoughts on Islam? How about Buddhism? How about those that serve Cthulhu?

That's dictionary.com's definition, not mine.

then why did you post the defintion if it doesnt apply to your argument?

It does apply to my argument. I did not write it.

then what is your argument? how do you justify your claim? might as well remove the definition

Fuckoff and die you stupid wise and beautiful woman.

You had a chance to be the mature person and you blew it. Congratulations.

I'm mature at work. I don't have to be mature when I'm just having a bit of fun.

I thought I did well enough by not saying anything bad about Christianity.

The problem with Christianity is that the extremists claim to hide under the same blanket as all other Christians. So it becomes difficult to argue against the extremists without insulting the better Christians in the world.

All cults.

Read the definition, it is my argument. I only said it wasn't my definition because I did not read it and wanted to give proper credit.

Did RadeonGuy say somewhere that he was a Christian?

That's my point, all religions are cults. So excluding one is stupid.

So back in the middle ages, atheism would be a cult? I swear, some days people say such stupid stuff I think the human race should be wiped off the face of the earth.:roll:

No, but it was a stupid post. I hate it when people use all CAPS.

All cults.

So why single out Christianity in your title, other than figuring to cause the biggest flame war?

 

[EpsiIon]

It seems like this thread will never be anything but a "source of confrontation and continued disruptions." If the mods really think their main duty "is to make sure these forums run smoothly," then you should get at least a warning and lock if not a ban and lock.

But you're an "Elite" member, so I'm guessing they won't do anything to you. A double standard? I guess we'll see...

It fits this definition (IMO):

Obsessive, especially faddish, devotion to or veneration for a person, principle, or thing.

Because Christianity was the inspiration for the thread.

 

[HardcoreRobot]

according to your definition, christianity does not meet the criteria of a cult bc it is not widely perceived as extremist or false

i dont know why you would post such directly contradictory material to your stance

 

[Hayabusa Rider]

This isn't an argument, but it is a means to start one. Must be badly in need of amusement.

Why a ban? There have been abusive anti-religion threads that made it through. My thread is neither abusive, nor anti-religious.

But you're an "Elite" member, so I'm guessing they won't do anything to you. A double standard? I guess we'll see...

I can tell you now, there _is_ a double standard. Who questions that fact?

What is the definition of a Christian?

It depends on what you mean by 'generally considered'. The majority of the world will consider each religion to be false as there are many believes in DIFFERENT religions all thinking that the other religion is wrong and false. Therefore Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, etc. can be considered cults.

Point conceded. It's definitely more fun to reply in kind when someone's as far off base as he was.

Never, ever count on the mods to be rational. They are not. They serve their own beliefs and purposes.

Read:


A system or community of religious worship and ritual.
The formal means of expressing religious reverence; religious ceremony and ritual.
Obsessive, especially faddish, devotion to or veneration for a person, principle, or thing.
The object of such devotion.

All of these fit just about every religion.

Catholic. The other sects don't take Christ seriously.
