The latest Rapture Ready antics...

And they kicked me off for posting evidence that Christians were a majority in the United States.

I can't help wondering how these people would handle living in Europe. Then they really would be living in the country they seem to think they are living in. (yes we know Europe is not a country)

You destroyed their feeling of isolated persecution! You Bastard!
 
You got the boot? THAT certainly didn't take very long. Who would have guessed?

I've got a joke...

In the distant future, c4ts dies, and much to his surprise, there actually is a heaven. Since c4ts lived a good life, and didn't commit too many egregious acts, St. Peter admits him to paradise. As c4ts walks through the Pearly Gates, he is assigned an angel to give him a tour of the place, so that he can make himself at home. After seeing his permanent beachside mansion, they stroll past the free five star restaurants, the concert halls, and the immense parks only to come to a stop at a giant stone wall. Giant is an understatement; it continues to the left and to the right as far as the eye can see, and has no discernable top. c4ts asks the angel "What's behind the wall?" The angel replies " Oh, that's the Rapure Ready crowd. They like to think they're the only ones up here."

Hey, looks like I've got the boot also...

Note to self: Dont make announcements of my username the next time I visit a Christian messageboard.

Hey, at least I wasnt being an ass, I gave good sound advice (i.e.: I was booted for being an evil atheist).

No, the punch-line should really be: "That's to keep the Rapture Ready crowd apart from their earthly enemies again...if they ever get here."
 
Yahweh,

This is something a friend of mine pointed out to me when I was trying to appear as a christian to pose some logical questions without being summarily ignored as an meddlesome atheist, that is, all of the points you pose to the Rapture Readies are logical arguments absent of emotional rhetoric or witty sayings that doesn't really prove what they assert.

They can spot a nonbeliever a mile away because they use and respond to logic instead of dogma.

...and I'm not being facetious. That's really how they set you apart. I find that to be tragically humorous.

Yours In Christ,

Ryan.
 
They kicked me out and I didn't break a single rule. It's probably because I presented well documented evidence of the fact, and because they refuse to consider anyone who believes in Christ "Christian" unless it has to do with them. No wonder they feel so isolated. They are too dumb to reach out to their Christian brothers. What's so great about feeling isolated, anyway? I hate feeling isolated. That's why I go out an make friends, that's why I have a life (it isn't much but at least I've got one), that's why I don't waste all my time worrying about a stupid out of date prophecy made by some Ancient Roman on hallucinogenic rye.

I doubt they bother reading anybody's posts. The only connection they have is Billiefan and he never reads anything.

c4, you silly boy. You should know they are against evidence of any type. Ironically, you are evidence of that.

They prefer heresay and conjecture, and those are kinds of evidence.
 
c4, did I miss it or did the moderator post about your banning?

I found the thread baffling.

"We are a minority"
"No, actually, we (ha ha!) are not."
"Those 76% aren't 'real'. We are a minority.
Now go away"


Hey, Yahweh, where did you get banned? Same thread?

I haven't been activated yet. Oh well...
 
Bad kittyc4t!

Well, you just busted in and gave them statistics that they weren't a little persecuted group. They feel special about that.

Don't take away someone's victimhood without expecting to get your arm ripped off for you.

And, as I read it, if the poster says he (or she) is christian, then that's all it takes. Everybody else, on the other hand, had better have a signed note from YHVH or they're just deluded.

Organized religion ...... isn't.
 
I have to give them credit for a couple of interesting threads about Joyce Meyer. She's a televangelist. I've never seen her show. The posters are on to her being a money-hungry fraud. Others who trusted her are expressing a sense of betrayal. It is interesting and honest, I think. It would be like the posters here finding out Randi uses a psychic to plan his life.

Well, for starters, I dont think I mentioned anything about myself beyond "I'm looking forward to my time on RaptureReady" (i.e. I never said nor denied I was a Christian, I never gave out personal details about myself - even my gender was obscure -, I never stated I was from JREF).

I did not violate any of the rules on RaptureReady. For reference, here they are (extraneous information truncated):
* No vulgarities or profanity
* No blasphemy

I may have violated this one as I maintained the "Old Earth" adage. I also gave relationship advice that did not revolve around "You're a woman, the bible tells you submit to what your husband craves" (Note: That is a summary of one such post I saw... some of those RR kids make me wretch).

* No cultic material
* No copyright material

I like to use a lot of sources to write my posts, I always give the name of my source (and I dont go overboard with the amount of material I reference).

* No links to immoral sites

Ok, one of my sources was a book called "Human Evolution", another was "TalkOrigins.net", but those cant be considered immoral, can they?

* No spamming
* No slandering the character of a board participant

Some person posted this brilliant argument: "Scientists say Jupiter is 4.5 billion years old, Mars is 4.5 billion years old, and the Sun is 4.5 billion years old... but then they also say the Earth is 5 billion years old, how can the Earth be older than the sun?". I used Mad.sci to reference an article about the age of the earth (4.5 billion years old) and the age of the sun (~5 billion years old). At the end of my post, I wrote "Make sure you have accurate information, otherwise you dont have a strong arguement". Could that possibly be considered slander? And if so (which it's not), does it warrant a banning?

* No selling of products
* No date speculation
* No posting of discussions from other board's threads
* No arguing various end-times positions outside of the Rapture Discussion forum
* No "I'm a Better Christian than You" games

I dont know where or why I was banned, I'm just assuming the forum administrators were using the Bible to justify prejudice (just a tad of emotional appeal :D )... I was banned for being an evil atheist.
 
Well, on www.rr-bb.com there seems to be some sort of hidden rule that says that you have to be a Christian (one of the persecuted kind :D ) to be able to post anywhere outside of the Apologetics subforum. At least I was told that I, although welcome, "must confine" my posts to and "stay in Apologetics".

And I shall comply...







...the option of blocking these people's siglines is simply too valuable to lose. ;)
