Banned for perpetuating the internet solecism of using "loose" in place of "lose." A minor annoyance perhaps, but one must draw a line in the sand at some point! Also, for exposing my occasional use of an image search (though it was TinEye, not Google) in the album cover thread, and thus bringing my fraud to a grinding halt. *shakes fist while twirling mustache*
OK but you still like me just a bit?

You are hereby banned my Dear Bud (Happy New Year by the way) because I’m not confident in the correctness or accuracy of your short passage above. Truth be told I'm also struggling to try and connect your passage (which makes me think I may be way off base) to rhetoric and techne as proposed by Aristotle.
Does rhetoric function as an art? Or is rhetoric’s purpose or “duty” to help the maker deliberate through the process of making art, to made art, to persuading his audience that he has made art? (Not sure where I'm going here, sorry....)
You are saying if I follow correctly that I was gone for a long time, so I should therefore be banned?

Banned for a grammatical faux pas, as it is not "Happy Belated Birthday"!!!!! It's "Belated Happy Birthday"!!!! Dammit. The birthday is not belated. It's the same day it always is. What is belated is the greeting!!! Say it over and over: Belated Happy Birthday; Belated Happy Birthday; Belated Happy Birthday, etc.

Yeah, I'll get banned for this, but your post made me curious about what the splendid inhabitants of Oz call their five cent coins. This article may answer that question, but I wonder whether it's just the author indulging her euphemistic tendencies. Do Australians actually call them "silver shrapnel," "clunky silver echidnas," and "clunky shrapnel"?
Whatever, I think the echidna makes for a rather handsome reverse side.

True. More of a keg than a six-pack.
In France, you can’t name your pig Napoleon because it’s an affront to its noble human counterpart, Napoleon Bonaparte.
In Switzerland, it is illegal to flush a toilet or for a man to urinate standing up after 10 PM.
In Lebanon, any man may legally have sex with a female animal. If they are caught having sex with a male animal, though, the penalty is death. Homosexual bestiality is a sin.

Were the Kurds with us in WWII?

I don't blame them for that though.

Red Cloud, this forum and many of its regular members go way back. Even though we are an atheist forum, we hardly ever talk about atheism or religion...just check out the forum Stats (http://www.happyatheistforum.com/forum/index.php?action=stats) and see its profile for yourself.SilverPhinx. . . It appears to me that this place you call your “Camelot”, your “Elysium” is nothing more that a clique of like minded friends, made up of no more than a dozen members. Hardly any of the many other members ever post anything. It is worth remembering that Camelot did eventually fall, from within! :'(

You say: “Even though we are an atheist forum, we hardly ever talk about atheism or religion.” Well yes, I have noticed that. This forum doesn't exactly do “What it says on the tin” does it!

Some which prey on the gullible and extract huge sums of money from them.

Hello RC and BR.
What you've got to realise is that most of the long-serving members of this forum have done the subject of Religion to death. There's not an angle or a topic that hasn't been discussed many times. There're loads of threads you can see going back years that contain brilliant discussion. And some brilliantly amusing trolls, and religitards floating all the arguments and counter-arguments you can imagine and many you can't. The more things change in the world, the more they stay the same.
So, you're more than welcome to start discussions on any topic you choose, but perhaps the reason you may not get much in the way of vigorous discussion is that its not particularly interesting any more.
*my opinion only of course.
sup, red cloud?
im not a member of any clique here, and i'll talk about religion with you.
what do you see as the most important topic to start with?
Well thank you billy rubin 8) I'm pleased that nasty spider didn't get you!
I will post something later that we can chat about . . . :thumbsup:

yes, ive seen that before.
itz where i am with religion, in fact.
yet there are contradictions that are hard to escape. morality, for example. most atheists i know consider themselves to have a moral underpinning to their beliefs, but cant defend it logically. theists have them beat there.
I'm sad to admit this is exactly what I thought of this place when I joined 9 or 10 yrs ago.
:therethere:
I've left so many times... :felix: Tank, how many times have I left because I'm not happy here?
I've lost count. :grin:
Don't go, Red_Cloud, or just take a break from us if you must, but come back.
Oh, and :secrets1: try to not insult people too much. I know it's fun, believe me I want to do the same sometiemes...Well, many times...
...Yes, I've noticed your style. :grin:
i will try to kerb my piss-taking, although i might find it difficult. :couchhide:
Can this subject come under the purview of science?
Kiss my Goddam ass Ricardo. . . Goodbye! :terrapin:
You are full of Christ.
It just shows.
Tell me, was my statement a compliment, or an insult?
Well! . . . He is certainly full of something Magdalena! :rofl:
You know what you can do Ricardo?

:f you:
I was actually directing my post to SilverPhinx who in turn was “putting me in my place” in response to a previous post I had the affront to submit.
Well! . . . He is certainly full of something Magdalena! :rofl:
Please refrain from posting such statements, Red Cloud. We try to keep the atmosphere in this forum civil, and I ask that you do not make our job difficult.
Excessive jabbering ban.
...Yes, I've noticed your style. :grin:

No, it's OK. You can talk about these subjects, just not with me. I don't enjoy it, but I'm sure others do. I like to talk about religious things maybe once every 3 or 4 years.:thumbsup2:
You should've said this about him. I didn't know. I don't think anyone knew this. We thought he was a genuine poster, gave him the benefit of the doubt. This is why I couldn't understand why so much "hate" from you. It didn't make sense to "hate" someone without knowing anything about them, but I guess you guys go waaayyyy back. Now I know....Yes, I've noticed your style. :grin:

Yes, I do see your point, Magdalena. But I don’t take back what I said to Ricardo. He has been around for a number of years now, using various names and avatars. He can still be seen in a few other forums under the name of Ricardo and using the same avatar he used here. He has posted in various chat forums, an astronomy forum, and a hobby forum. The more you feed him (and posters like him) the more he will reply,
He managed to put out 37 posts until you Magdalena put a stop to him by posting:QuoteNo, it's OK. You can talk about these subjects, just not with me. I don't enjoy it, but I'm sure others do. I like to talk about religious things maybe once every 3 or 4 years.:thumbsup2:
If something like this had been posted sooner or if his post had been ignored he perhaps would have disappeared sooner! I don’t know! :shrug:

Haha, I'm not really the person to engage with if you want to make arguments based on moralistic judgements. But objective morality its a subject I very much enjoyed exploring.
Find another thread ban.Sorry, didn't mean to skip No one...Um...let's see...banned because breaking the rules and/or being flexible is OK, sometimes.
what exactly do you mean when you say "objective morality?"Morality based on something other than opinion, personal preference or social conditioning.

What morals do you have that don't fall into one of the above?
But, banned for derailing. 😂
To get the record straight, I don't believe in morality. I think it is a make believe human made concept. You cannot test for it and you cannot measure it. It is simply a way of categorising human actions into good (right), bad (wrong) and neutral. The thing is, when we start categorising, we all tend to have different lists. There certainly is no absolute standard of right and wrong, so when we categorise, we are using different standards to do this. Some people use the golden rule, others a perception of what humanism is, others use the teachings of the enlightenment of Buddha, others use the teachings of Mohammad, others the teachings of Jesus and others the teachings of the Old Testament, etc.
I guess, people by and large have a desire to be good. The problem is that there is no way of telling what is good from what is bad. I feel this is a driving force behind why people take up religion. They quickly learn that the definition of good differs from person to person hence they realise that they cannot trust themselves and hence they look to the wise. However the problem with the wise is that one wise person's morality differs from anothers. Human defined morality is a problem in that one person's morality is no better or no worse than another's. Thousands of years old religion that claims to know what is good, inspired by a perfect and all good deity becomes a compelling guide. If a person chooses to believe in the deity and believe in the specific religion then their problem of defining good goes away, thus they can now work towards being a good person.
An atheist doesn't have the deity option. An atheist looking for morality must either look for a principle, a wise person/organisation or must trust themselves.
The dangerous side to belief in morality is that morality doesn't stop at the self. Morality leads towards judgement of others, as people are now making bold claims as to whether others are acting morally or immorally. If a person stopped at only the self, they would be defining their own personal values rather than morality. Once people go down that dangerous path of moral judgement of others, they then look to enforce moral rules on others, so they put this into law.
Morality based law will result in oppression, which will result in conflict, which will result in danger for those living within that moral based society.
All religious wars are due to an insistence of pushing a flavour of morality onto others.
I am a strong proponent for defining a clear and specific goal for law. I would rather law act towards creating a stable and functional society rather than a moral one. With this goal in mind it would be hard to justify law against homosexuality, or polygomy, or pornography, or prostitution, or euthanasia, or against religious freedom. You don't have to agree with these things, you would just have to realise that it isn't your place to prevent others from doing them.

You are full of Christ.why don't you believe me? be honest!I'm an atheist agnostic! I have so many theistic friends!Ricardo...Ricardito...Are you a religious person?
I'm from Brazil! I have never participated in an atheist forum! I hope to learn more about atheism! Can this forum also learn about skepticism?
I ask because when you start a sentence with: "a theistic friend told me he has two arguments against atheism..."--It's like when I ask: "Is marijuana bad for you? I have "a friend" who wants to know. ... :shifty:
So, are you a religious person? You sound like one.(https://media1.giphy.com/media/I5xVnGJRHZZf2/giphy.gif)
It just shows.
Tell me, was my statement a compliment, or an insult?
... It appears to me that this place you call your “Camelot”, your “Elysium” is nothing more that a clique of like minded friends, made up of no more than a dozen members. Hardly any of the many other members ever post anything.I'm sad to admit this is exactly what I thought of this place when I joined 9 or 10 yrs ago.

Banned for an inability to distinguish between play and real.Banned for... look, buddy I know what's real, OK? You don't tell me what's real or not! I'm like the best at it of anyone in the world!

There are threads for you and you are great but maybe this one isn't for you.

They're all running around
