No, actually he just wants to rip on theism again, as he does in every single thread he's created, something which got him banned.

Notice he didn't attempt to bring any coherent discussion into this.

Ok the video is posted I have seen that one before now Captain what are your views on this, what did you want or expect us to get out of the video?


Now that is a really good question, I'd like to know that as well.

Oh he might always, but this thread is about the Video, so obviously it is acceptable in this thread. IF he does that in other conversations, shame on him, but here it is necessary. So, anyone going to say something about the Video?

I saw the video and I have an opinion, but I don't know what the opinion of this thread is and why. This thread needs more content.

No, no, threads do not have opinions. The threadstarter may or may not contribute with his/her opinion,b ut he doesn't need to...you on the other hand post yours or leave....

See I was right, the thread is off topic.

KMC according to Bardock? Please.

Falcon brought it up in a DISCUSSION forum.

Let me repeat that, cuz I know you never absorb things right...

D I S C U S S I O N F O R U M.

If all he wanted to do was show a video, there's the general forum and OTF. If he wanted to discuss an issue(s), he needed to address them and spark a discussion. He did not. He's also notorious for ribbing on theism, if for no other reason than he hates religion. This is TROLLING.

Because of you and Wesker.....but I will not contribute to that anymore.

I liked the humour Penn and Teller have and I think they quite showed that you can't really take the Bible as History book, which many Christians claim.
Also the part about reading what one wants to read that is true, I think many fundamentalists jsut chose what they like from the bible.

No, he showed a Video and since he opened a thread about it he wanted the opinions of other KMCers...so, where is your opinion? Have you seen it? Please, just post that and stop your trolling, which is exactly what you are doing.

Oh and if you don't like it, report the thread and let the Mods decide for it, I don't think it is misplaced, the only problem are your, Shakya's and my Off-Topic posts....so stop being a hypocrite please, that would really, really be appreciated.

Well I for one thought it was interesting....I always liked Penn and Teller, and why doesn't that one guy ever ever talk............hahahaha

It's a religious view on video....that's it....It's an opinion that could be talked about.....But instead we are debating the thread starter.....for shame.....

Can't we just applaud the video.............. 😂

*runs away now*

Besides look at the kinds of threads I make.....Sometimes it's just nice to talk about something different than evolution.

BULLSHIT!

Bardock, I realize you're pretty thick, but the link title is "Bullshit", the video repeatedly stomps all over Christianity and the Bible. Inaccuracies aside, this is not an objective, reasonable approach- it's religion bashing. Now, I realize you can't see that because you think murder is "neutral", but I'm not going to waste any more time placating your ignorance. I AM reporting this thread for being pointless.

Falcon will just make another.

He shouldn't. I understand if he disagrees with religious approachs; there's nothing wrong with critiqueing the scriptures... But this thread is out of line.

Instead of this silly bickering about what the thread starter did or did not want, how about discussing the damn video, hmm? Complaining that a thread is liable to go off topic has no value if the people doing the complaining are the ones taking it off topic.

The video is posted. It DOES belong here. And P&Ts series is called Bullshit so that's hardly a flame or troll.

Please comment on the video or, if you do not want to, don't post in here. Certainly cut out the moaning.

My opinion P&T should stick to magic tricks.

Did you WATCH the video, Ush?

And really, that's hardly the response I'd expect from a global moderator. The issue of "Biblical inaccuracies" can be discussed without a video that is clearly going to be offensive to Christians. Hell, I was not thrilled with the approach and language within and I'm far from being a Christian. I thought the video was tasteless and the argument behind it could have been presented more tactfully.

Hey, there are truths in that video.

Doesn't matter when people ignore facts.

Freedom of speech ya know.

It's a forum, Debbiejo. If we truly advocated freedom of speech here, we wouldn't have word censors and warn/ban people for bashing members.

The part where you say you don't like the video is fine, Wesker.

The part where you make out that because I haven't closed the thread purely because you don't like the video is somehow evidence of bad modding I most certainly do not. That is childish behaviour.

Stay on topic or I'll make this an official warning. You don't get a veto on thread ideas, even if the content is not to your taste. Penn and teller actually have quite a renowned line in trying to expose ideas as nonsense, and even if done badly in the opinion of some, their product is mainstream and it is worthy of comment inside a discussion area.
