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.

    I suppose the writers of the synoptic gospels, operating at least 30 years after the alleged events they depict, didn't have an agenda?

    Way to debunk 10% of the criticisms levelled at Jesus. If you all want me to demonstrate further knowledge of the bible and start bringing the intolerable cruelty and vindictiveness displayed by God in the old testament, I will gladly do so.

          The old testament aint the NEW testament. 10%? It was more like 50% only because that's what I had time for, while you copied and pasted someone else's work. You switching gears from Jesus to the old testament only shows you're backing away from the opinions of that article.

            That is too bad; I was welcoming that change of topic.

              I'm not backing away from anything. I'm only expanding the argument to a full criticism of all that Christianity is based on. Perhaps you're right. For now I should focus on the gospels. I'll get back to it shortly, and probably start a new thread.

                Accepting Jesus is accepting the old testament. Jesus accepted the old testament as did the Apostles. The idea of Jesus was supposed to continue the Jewish faith, not start a branching faith.

                  Originally posted by patlajan A new faith is what happened. So there goes your point.
                  Christians are Jews that believe Jesus is the Messiah. My point has not gone anywhere. The intent is what shows acceptance.

                    That's why there are two different words. The jewish establishment at the time did not like Jesus at all. That's part of why he was killed.

                      No [fecal matter]! That does not stop one from invalidating the Messiah by using both testaments.
