Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

      Re: Armenians & Christianity.

      Whether it's "easy" or "hard" is not a valid answer to "why". And I suspect you were trying to answer the "why" question since you replied with a quote to what I asked. But again, this is not the thread for this. There are MANY many others about the same topic. So maybe it's not as easy as you claim for some people, eh?

          You asked, "why do you believe this?"

          Well there is no explanation other than they have met God and know that He is real.

          You need to figure it out for yourself; seek God. No doubt you will find Him Then you will know why they believe it.

            Once again, the ABSOLUTE height of arrogance to claim you can ever know or even understand God. God is sooooo much bigger than what you can know or understand. So once again, why do you blieve you know anything about God?

            Everything you have been saying so far has been avoiding the question. Everytime you just say "oh it's so obvious" .. "oh you just know" ... "oh why don't you find the answer yourself" ...

            ... well bud, that all just says you don't know yourself otherwise you would be able to answer and you wouldn't avoid the question by pretending to "know" something others don't.

              This thread has a serious lack of historical perspective and insight, just rants about the merits or demerits of God and Christianity.

                Mouse, in defense of lack of "historical perspective", the original question did ask "why Armenians don't believe in God". I would argue that maybe the reason is that there isn't much to "believe in" (as packaged under the label of "Christianity") rather than whether or not the decision has to do with anything historical or geopolitical or some such.

                  Then maybe I should move this to the Armenian general talk forum.

                    First of all, please point out where I said I "understand" and "know" God...

                    Of all people, YOU are telling ME what God is about? I know you like to think logically, but there is nothing logical about this topic.

                    There is no "God = this+this"; what I am saying is that no one can tell you, you need to find it yourself. And you continue to want a definitive answer.

                    Why do I believe I know anything about God? Because the Bible tells me so.

                    Ok, you can believe whatever you want about me. I know that I know and you seem to come to some questionable assumptions because you didn't get the answer you were hoping for.

                    Avoiding the question...What was your question again? Why does one believe in God? There is no universal answer just in case you were wondering...

                      That's all I wanted you to admit. You haven't "met" God and neither has anyone else. This all stems from when YOU said:

                      You haven't met God. As you yourself said, you just believe because the Bible says so. That's pretty much the only "reason" you have for believing what you believe. Now going down the path of discussing how rediculous (or not) it is to believe the Bible (a collection of books written by man, translated and modified over generations and generations, and somehow handed to you), and not to question it one bit, is a WHOLE different topic. But at least it's good that you can admit that all your beliefs about God are based on what the Bible says and has nothing to do with you anyone else that has "met" God.
