As far as me being a Moderator has nothing to do if I choose to post my opinion within a forum.

And when reports are turned in as far as others being accused of bashing another we do look into those reports. But if you are seeing where others are bashing someone and do not turn it in then is that not your responsibility to do so. We can only go by the reports that are actually turned in. And those we do review and handle them within the guidelines we have been given.

Matter of fact I never said that I do not radomly read these forums. I said I normally do not post my opinion within them.

And myself I do not see any bashing within this thread at all.

As far as Funches I will admit one thing for one to go head to head with him you best have all your i's dotted and your t's crossed and be ready to back up what you say.

What Im talking about is Christians insisting that they are being bashed, yet you ask them outright and they wont tell you who they consider a basher. That to me is ridiculous. Im assuming they report it on occasion but if someone is merely questioning their beliefs in an orderly, debate context in General Religion, Im sure there is nothing you can do because that is clearly not bashing. If they are upset then they should stay in Christian Singles.

They have Christian Singles

They have General Religion

They have General Discussion to post "Prayer Requests" because mods wont stop them.

"TxsGal"...it's not about having to cross "i's or t's ...all I was trying to get across is that it's the government that control which beliefs can or cannot be practice simply because someone could start a human sacrifice or child molestation religion

you at this point in time live in a supposely civilized soceity and it's nice to say that anyone can practice their own beliefs ...but imagine if that society collapse and everyone start practicing their own religion with their own rules ...it would be a place of horror ..

And to this all I have to say if in fact you have and issue with the way you see that the forums are being moderated then you need to take that issue up with the Admin. For we follow their guidelines and we have nothing to do with the way the Forums have been set up only the Admin does.

Funches I can say that I'm proud that I do live where I do and the way things are to a point.

And it makes me shudder what it could in fact be like if that happened.

But truth is we do not know that in fact these things are not happening and we just do not know it.

But within this statement you made I must agree with you.

Im not taking it up with anyone. Im simply pointing it out to you. It wasnt me that was the only one to notice this taking place. There was a thread created the other day about it. I do like that you have given them their own forum I just feel you should actually ASK them to USE their own forum for prayer threads and devotional topics.

Krimsa.. a lot of people on mingle2,never visit the religion forums....

and so when they have urgent prayer requests , they feel more comfortable posting it where their friends can see and pray along with them....which is understandable.

Prayer requests are not something that will cause debate...

and therefore , there should not be any problem with prayer requests being posted in the general forum.

Moderators will respond when there is a complaint sent to them about a certain post .

And most likely, no one will complain about a prayer request.

The prayer requests I am willing to overlook but topics that are Christian devotional in nature and not open to debate NEED to stay in Christian Singles. If you go look in General Discussion right now there are at least 3 requests for prayer and all Christian in designation. That was what prompted the complaints from members because many are aware that the Christians have their own forum now.

But are the prayer requests really causing any issues ,Krimsa?

Not to me, since sometimes I want to give my good thoughts and whatnot too, and I can't do that in the Christian forums.
And this problem will be solved soon as we were told that prayer requests will get their own forums in the future sometime.

at the end of the path of defining what be good speech, lay the dead and dying, whose voice was lost in an abyss that does not exist, WORDS DIVIDED INTO TWO GROUPS......

if each human brain, is a single unique COMPUTING MACHINE OF WISDOM, then to restrict HOW AND WHAT COMMUNICATION IS GOOD, IS TO SOON LOSE ALL TOUCH WITH REALITY...........

IF WORDS ARE DIVIDED INTO TWO GROUPS, OF GOOD AND BAD, THEN THE BRAIN IS DIVIDED AGAINST ITSELF, SO ALSO MORE AGAINST MANY OTHERS, AND MANKIND IS BROUGHT OT IT'S KNEES, READIED FOR IT'S SUICIDE.....

the tyrannical notion that others should not offend, has destroyed many nations.......

Well Hellkittn started a thread about it and they do generally lead to arguments especially when people quote scripture. Krupa also started a thread about it so you be the judge. The point is not that prayer is bad or evil, its that you have your own forum. yet now you insist on using General Religion, Christian Singles and General Discussion. Some people take issue with that.

if IT is not ALL SPEECH IS GOOD SPEECH, it reek of contempt and despise of MANY in time.....

Like Invisible mentioned, the last I heard is that they might possibly need to create a "well wishes" forum of its own. That way ALL Christian requests for prayer and any other topic asking for well wishes (secular or otherwise) would go into that forum. That might be the only way they can do it without upsetting people. The problem is the overabundance of Christian prayer threads in a secular forum. Thats what Im hearing.

Oh and I suppose telling Christians they can't post here or there is not starting fights? What about the negative posts to those who are of good cheer? Their posts get slammed by the goons around here.

Maybe there should be a push for more civility all the way around. I notice it's only posts of Christians defending against the crap posted by some here that get deleted.

Like they say...it's your choice but it doesn't look good when all people see posting here are the loonies.

so then what about people that keep hijacking non-religious threads and turning them into Jesus/anti-Jesus arguments?

What about them? Do you do that? What do you want me to do about that? I spend about 85% of my time in the Science and Philosophy forum and General Religion.

simply because no matter what someone says there will always be someone offended by it or that possibly mis-interpeted the meaning of it ....
