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.

      It means that they are undecided on the god issue. They don't want to give their earthly possesions away and harras people by giving out bibles but at the same time they are keeping their options open just in case they have some explaining to do after death. They're basicly wussies.

      Here's the dictionary defintiion:
      ag·nos·tic (²g-n¼s“t¹k) n. 1. One who believes that there can be no proof of the existence of God but does not deny the possibility that God exists.

        lol, what kind of lame philosophy is that then? MAKE UP YOUR MIND ALREADY!!

        Do we really need proof anyways? If people were to follow what most religions say only after the existence of God has been proven, wouldn't it just show that they are indeed selfish people?

        Anywho, theology is not my strong point...

          It is not a philosophy about being "undecided" on the issue. That is wrong. Agnosticism says that you can not know whether a god exists or does not and that it does not matter since they believe in empirical evidence as opposed to absolute truths.

            I believe in the yankee rose. Ahhh look at the grandeur! I'm in awe of this. I pray to it upon waking up, bowel movements, and before bed.

              You should read everything before "Yankee Rose" every night before you go to bed.

                when it comes to agnosticism...
                I think it's too philosophical.
                God isn't a proof issue.
                God is a belief. it's in people's minds.
                you can't just sit there and say "there can be no proof whether or not God exists".
                I know I'm not the first person who's saying this, but logical reasoning and belief never meet.

                Renee Deckartese proved that there is a GOD.
                I think it is very smart way the way that he proved: he said humans have the idea of perfection, but none of the human beings is perfect, that means a perfect existence must have put this idea of perfection---------------->GOD
                there you go, GOD exists. PERIOD

                  I agree. It is clever. But I do not agree. It would be correct if one excepted the initial premise it is based on. Unfortunately I have not read Rene Descartes' s Meditations in 7 years and I can not provide any further support, off the top of my head. I can say, though, that it has to do with a yin yang concept: our ability to recognize imperfection could be viewed as independant of God and therefore we would have no choice but to recognize perfection.

                    And that could lead us into the whole argument about who decides what is perfection. One persons trash is another persons treasure, and the like. What is perfection and what is imperfection? In much the same way we can ask what is Beauty? Who decides these things? As a socitey we tend to conform to the definitions/guidelines about beauty, etc. That all just begs the question about where these guidelines come from. Put simply... Says WHO?

                      Perfection is an imperfection in itself. Ironic, isn't it?
