Christians have no logic or theory as creationist. Their sole knowledge is based on the Genesis story and faith. When the creation myths from all over the world that predates the Hebrew story is point too, they state that the all creation stories were copied from Genesis.Ceridwen018 said:
1) The warnings I receive are between myself and the moderator that is warning me! Just kidding. Actually, I've probably been warned 7 or 8 times in all, and for my money, all but one of them was deserved. I get warned (as I should be) when I personalize an attack on someone during a reply. This always occurs when I am engaged in a debate with someone that attacks myself or others on moral issues. To be honest, I don't even mind the warnings, if they are warranted. I've even written posts that I know will result in a warning - if I feel the other person needs it.HelpMe said:
The more I read the creationist posts on this board, the more I tend to think that's the case, Harold. Like Ceridwen, I used to think that creationists were cherry-picking which facts they paid attention to, but now -- after reading so many posts on this this board -- I am increasingly of the opinion that they don't even bother to cherry pick facts. Instead, the creationists seem content to repeat the same old same old falsehoods -- falsehoods usually based on a misunderstanding of the theory of evolution -- as if sheer repitition could make those falsehoods true.harold e. rice said:
It is set up that way on purpose. The idea is that if you know who is warning you, you might carry a grudge for that particular moderator. My initial reaction was the same as yours. After Rex explained his reasoning to me, I understood. You still have a course of redress, if you feel you have been warned wrongly. You can "appeal" your warning to Rex. For me, after I get over the initial feeling of anger, I think about what I wrote to cause the warning. So far, the moderators have been right to call me down for my posts. Only once did I disagree after thinking about it, but I didn't contest the warning - the odds are that I was probably still wrong, but too pigheaded to admit it to myself.HelpMe said:
I don't think you read my words correctly. I am making that very argument - that someone in their 20's has not had the life experience of a 47 year old - who, in turn, has not had the life experience of a 65 year old. Please re-read my post.HelpMe said:
While I do not respect Hitler, like you, I do accord respect to people I am meeting for the first time. After they begin to speak, they move themselves up or down that ladder. For what it is worth, your reference to "that damned bush character" shows that you don't particularly care for our President, and since I don't particularly care for him either, that moves you up the ladder in my eyes. See, we do agree on some things!HelpMe said:
i wasn't/am not mad about it, but it contained the following...The Voice of Reason said:
to who?i don't care enough to involve rex, this time.
ok i missed the word 'not', so we disagree.age is a number.i know people in their 40's that i seriously consider myself wiser than, and they would agree.this isn't to say that i am beyond my years and have in some way surpassed everyone younger than the oldest person to acknowledge this to me, it is merely to say such circumstances are possible.i'm sure there are younger people than me that have been through more or are intellecual than i.The Voice of Reason said:
does anything speak louder than words?The Voice of Reason said:
in my book(for what it's worth), someone's opinions earn a small amount of respect in contrast to their handling of themselves in day to day life.The Voice of Reason said:
Usually, when I have been warned, the moderator attached their name. When it was available, I apologized for my remarks. When it is not available, I would address my apology to Rex.HelpMe said:
Without question, there are people that are wise beyond their years. We have some excellent examples of this here on Religious Forums. That said, EVERYONE has times when life kicks you in the teeth. It is the accumulation of these life experiences that are the "tests of character". No one can possibly experience life beyond their time here on earth, so, for me, I can never have been tested beyond what someone that is 20 (or more) years older than I.HelpMe said:
Clearly, actions speak louder than words (much to the chagrin of politicians around the world). Unfortunately, on the internet - at sites such as this one - we are limited to glimpses of each others true character by the limited typewritten word. I like your book.HelpMe said:
I have no idea what this is. It may be a typo that you did not intend to have in the post, or I may be slow on the draw, and simply don't get it, but I don't know what this means.HelpMe said:
Apology accepted.The Voice of Reason said:

Although it's difficult to tell exactly where I could be found on such a broad continuum, I would hope that in most peoples' opinions, I fall somewhere on the Pope side of Hitler.HelpMe said:
Actually, I pointed out in an earlier post in this thread that we do, in fact, agree on at least one subject - neither of us like George W. Bush. Unless, of course, you were being sarcastic.HelpMe said:
