By the way, I'll be recommending that everyone I know gives this forum a wide berth.

I have no problem with the expression of differing opinions.  What I do have a problem with is using religion as a cover for racism, bigotry, misogyny, and hatred.

Quote from: "TomThumb"I have decided to take my leave of this forum, as it is the first I have ever come across where it is seemingly acceptable to brand a poster as a "lunatic","moron", "racist", and "troll" simply for expressing an opinion.
Here's the M.O. of a lot of trolls: They post something and never actually defend what they said, but just keep posting seemingly random statements that aren't logically connected.

So far, you fit this. You want to defend your views or just keep trolling?
Always question all authorities because the authority you don't question is the most dangerous... except me, never question me.

Oh noes...a troll thinks he can actually affect who wants to visit HAF.

I'll help you keep your word about staying away from here by giving you a ban...because I'm nice like that.

God strikes a statue of his son with lightning is his way of saying "Obama is the AntiChrist?" Uh.....

Yeah, I read that and I was like...it's a giant metal frame covered in styrofoam that got struck by lightening - that isn't terribly surprising, is it?...how is it even POSSIBLE to tie this somehow to Obama?!?  Hahaha, what a goob.

... came here to say this.
(was distracted by nonsensical conversation)

It's like they're daring god to burn it down.
What's the next one made from?
Tin foil, wire hangers and flash paper?

As for TomThumb warning his friends away, it reminds me of a stand-up routine...

Guy breaks up with his girlfriend, and she says "You'll never find anyone like me again!"
... "If I don't want YOU... Why would I want anyone LIKE YOU?"

I say warn 'em all!

No Nonsense here,

I worked today with this really religious girl and she started CRYING over this story. It's a fucking statue!!!!

If I remember correctly idolatry is a sin. It's like one of the first commandments. God is a jealous god, right?

All the money they spent on this thing they could have actually followed Jesus' teachings and given that money to help the poor.

OK I think I missed a memo somewhere along the line. Why is calling Obama the Antichrist a racist comment? I don't understand.
If religions were TV channels atheism is turning the TV off.

The poor wouldn't be poor if they had prayed properly...   :|
