Gone for 40 days...
« on: February 17, 2015, 01:20:20 PM »

Hi Guys,

I'm going to cut out the time I spend on forums for the next 40 days starting at Ash Wednesday.  I spend too much time on forums anyway and this will be my way of getting things under control.

I'm going to try to spend my time doing more fruitful things like studying the Bible with my wife and maybe some coding.

Ok...

I hope your plan succeeds. Just curious, why 40 days?? why not 30? (e.g 1 month).

Ash Wednesday, a day of fasting, is the first day of Lent in Western Christianity. It occurs 46 days (40 fasting days, if the 6 Sundays, which are not days of fast, are excluded) before Easter and can fall as early as 4 February or as late as 10 March.

Looks like you are going hungry then. A pity really that you believe in such things as the bible (and all other religions for that matter) are a complete load of rubbish.

Hi Kev,

Although the forum respects your right to have differing opinions on all matters, we do ask that you respect the right of others to hold their own beliefs also.


The forum rules do prohibit the discussion or religion, due to the many contrary opinions that people have on the matter:

The following topics should not be discussed:

The following is prohibited and any member posting will receive an instant 1 month ban!

    * Religious/Political images/rants


I appreciate that however, in this instance, religion has been brought-up in discussion as a point of reference relevant the time-frame stated in thoriginal post, however, I would like to ask that any further discussion of any poster's beliefs, or opinions on holding those beliefs is stopped here.

Thanks

Hi Hungry Horrace.

I feel that your comments should be directed to the original poster for starting a thread that contains religious content. I see that the penalty for such behavior is a one month ban. However, seeing that he is staying away from these forums for forty days, such a ban would not make any difference to him in the slightest.

Which makes me wonder though why he would post such a comment in the first place. Baiting perhaps?

KevG, SamuraiCrow was hardly baiting, just explaining the reason for his sudden absence.

I don't come here often.  I have never posted on this forum, but the unprovoked attack on SamuraiCrow and anyone who believes in anything other than what KevG believes is totally uncalled for.

Ban me, I don't care, I just couldn't let this one pass.

I am sorry but you misunderstood me. I didn't attack anyone. I simply replied to his religious comment and the forum rules state quite clearly that making religious comments results in a one month ban from the forums.

No offense was intended, I just find it difficult to comprehend why someone with such dedication to the Amiga and the logic surrounding computing in general, that they can also believe in a story that has been proved to be fictitious nonsense.

Attacking ones beliefs is attacking someone.  Saying their beliefs are rubbish is an attack.

Nothing has been proven to be fictitious nonsense.  You believe that, it doesn't automatically make it true.
Others believe in various things, that doesn't make it true.  But saying it is rubbish or fictitious nonsense is still an attack.

But if you feel so strongly about it, I say go up to a member of ISIS and tell them their beliefs are rubbish.

You don't know what happened before recorded history.  No one does.  You don't know how everything turned out the way it did.  There are theories, but no true proofs because that is impossible (for now).

But, I won't attack you for your faith (that religion is rubbish).  I only give defence for an attack on someone's beliefs (as I would for anyone.  Even you, if you were attacked for no reason).

And you are not fooling anyone, your first post wasn't to point out that the forum rules said religious discussions are off limits.  You learned that later and are trying to point fingers.

This is why religion and politics are off limits.  No one is going to convince anyone else.  There is no solution, so it is banned. 

If you notice, I haven't tried to make you a "beliver", nor have I called your beliefs rubbish, I just took issue with an unnecessary attack.

Now let's get back to some good old retro conversations.

Come on guys, really.

Sam wasn't talking about about preaching, just stating what he may do with his time.
Thats like me saying, Im going to sing carols at christmas time in church.

Please dont turn this into the other Amiga forums. No wonder why Im loosing focus with the Amiga.
Think this thread needs locking, as OP's post has obviously been misunderstood.
