Please don't presume to believe that I am not upset with my fellow "Christians" who make the rest of us look bad. To suggest that I don't try to do anything about them is baseless and inaccurate and your arguments against myself and others usual are quite condescending.
Suggesting morals is a religious issue is essentially saying people who do not subscribe to any faith or religion -- Agnostics and Atheists last I checked -- are without morals and the like. Are you saying morals are a non-essential part of society? I'm going to assume that's not what you mean but it sure came across that way.
I'd also cite that there are indeed groups who are anti-First Amendment are that don't subscribe to any faith or religion. You've definitely made it sound like that was something exclusive to religion. Oh wait... a lot of the founding fathers of the United States were religious and they're the ones who decided on the separation of church and state as well as freedom of speech.
Nobody should be considered above critisism for any reason- least of all because they are religious…
I don't disagree with this statement. But this goes both ways. You can't be above criticism but support being able to criticize others for their beliefs. That's hypocritical viewpoint no matter how you try to look at it. Gamers aren't above criticism and neither are you.
If you're going to criticize someone though it needs to be constructive rather than destructive. When you come across as condescending you lose your credibility and your criticism will not be considered constructive. To this point I've yet to see constructive criticism from you.
I appreciate these other individuals I've addressed because they've been willing to talk to me at my level and not pretend they're above me. Your attempts at justification have all been attempts at sounding morally superior to those of us who believe what we do. I don't pretend to be morally superior to you because I am not. I'm not morally superior to anyone on this blog. I do what I can to practice what I preach but I am only human.

Posted 07/05/08 at 04:28pm Haggard: Maybe he thought the judges would appreciate it?
Posted 07/05/08 at 03:27pm Silencets: I'm sure JT had a perfectly good reason sending gay porn....It'll come to me any day now...
Posted 07/05/08 at 02:54pm Grendal: once you send gay porn to judges, I'm comfortable calling you crazy
Posted 07/05/08 at 02:46pm eraserheadthelynch: I dont think hes crazy but his values and social skills are slightly wrack
Posted 07/05/08 at 02:38pm Grendal: Jacks actually a really good example of how not to deal with your mental illness and what can happen if it goes untreated
Posted 07/05/08 at 02:37pm Grendal: Well most people with a mental illness admit it and get help instead of trolling a website for their ego ala jack
Posted 07/05/08 at 02:32pm BlackIce: True, that does explain why the Patriot Act is legal, but..
Posted 07/05/08 at 02:21pm Grendal: As far as I know theres no law banning people with mental illness from holding jobs as lawyers or judges
Posted 07/05/08 at 12:40pm BlackIce: Sadly, the law banning Mentals from any sort of important job isn't well enforced. Therefore, Jackie is still a "Lawyer".
