I said it before; "religion is like a virus once it enters you then you are done".

Christians should have a seperate board for wholesome christian discussions with a CHRISTIAN MODERATOR.

bawomolo:

what are you guys running from?

it's funny how a religion like Christianity that should breed unity could lead to segregation.

dgreatrock:

The truth is that i dont know why Seun created a board  for Islam and non for christians.

i ve made repeated calls for one.

it is time we have one.

Pastor AIO:

I know why? It's because he is scare of moslems but he is not scared of Christians.

Pastor AIO:

well, unless you are holding a gun to their head. This is a tried and tested method that has proved quite effective over the centuries.

Repent from what? Abuzola is their master, he sets the standard. From what I can tell banom is just having fun ridiculing certain types. I've had more interesting and enlightening discussions with atheists on this forum than I've had with so called christians. No, I don't want them to repent away from making intelligent conversation.


The connection between intelligence and the ability to make generalization is another topic entirely that I would love to take up with you on another thread. But as regards this thread you should notice that I further specified at the end of the OP when I said, "At least the kind of religion that Nairalanders practice".


Now, what is the motivation that pushes people to act like that. Personally I've noted in my life that when somebody gets up from where he is to go and cause trouble somewhere else it is due to some form of Malaise that he is experiencing. Most practitioners of these religions behaving like this are suffering from a terrible malaise. What exactly is the nature of this malaise? I suspect it is actually an inner struggle to silence, not just contrary opinions of others but, more crucially, doubting voices and intimation within themselves.

I concur


Are you the one that initiated me in Ifa? How do you know?

Pastor AIO:

There should be a rule banning personal insults.  It will improve the quality of the forum a hundred fold.

uplawal:

@noetic,IGNORANT FOOL,IFA is infact 900%better and accurate compare to st paul christianity if u dnt know

Maybe the atheists are right after all. Religion does corrode the brain. At least the type of religion that Nairalanders practice.

uplawal:

@pastor,am sorry if i offended u pls okay,but dnt leave though

Krayola:

Pastor AIO abeg don't leave o.

KunleOshob:

Some of the most informative and intelligent posts that I have read on this forum have written by you pastor AIO, your posts are certainly refreshing and your contributions are still very much needed on this forum so please drop the idea of leaving us o.

Abuzola:

This pastor is one jobless ant, leave if you want to, even if a subforum is created for u guys God's willing that section will even be worst , i will make sure that i intensify my bombardment in that nasty section till our muslim section is spared from your cohort disengagement . Cross worshippers

viaro:

First thing that struck me is that the OP (and several others who have posted replies) are all guilty of whatever they are complaining about. I don't mean to come across on the sharp end, but that's just plainly fact. Insults? That's a primer on Nairaland. Personal? Yea, blah, blah - so many who are complaining here have actually done that same thing.

Perhaps I should add one more: it's comical that some who deplore the very things being complained about are the same ones who would promote that same deplorable thing. Post #43 is classic. But there you go.

Pastor AIO:

Nobody is perfect and the fact that most of us have done what is being complained about does not mean it is not a good idea.

If threads were better moderated then the quality of the forum will improve for everybody even if all of us have been guilty of hurling personal insults before.

What you're saying is like, because we have all broken the law at some point or the other we have no right to strive for a better law enforcement in society.

Tudór:

There's a thin line between moderation and obstructing freedom of speech/ideas. . . .prime example is the islam for muslims board.

BTW, if I should label a fraudulent pastor as a crook, is that considered personal insult?

NO!, you were aborted there because the moderator took you as matured whereas your posts tends childish, always aggressive, insultive, rude, arrogant, childish and fill of emotions sensitivites

m_nwankwo:

My view is that fundamentalism is becoming the hallmark of many posts on this religious forum. It cuts across all groups including theists, atheists as well as agnostics. Although better moderation can improve things, the improvement will only be artificial. Our posts reflect our weaknesses as well as our strengths and moderation cannot with a magic wand change our nature. A man cannot claim that he cannot lust, lie, murder, undermine another persons reputation, cheat, use ignoble language or be angered until he or she is presented with a very enticing opportunity to indulge in these ignoble passions such that he or she can yield to his weakness without anybody knowing about it. The heated debates provide opportunity for all of us to recognise our weaknesses and work to eliminate them. We cannot stop others from insulting us or even blaspheming against the very things we hold sacred and true. But we can refuse inwardly as well as outwardly to insult them or blaspheme against their sacred beliefs. We can refuse to be angered, frustrated or indulge in any negative emotions inwardly as well as outwardly. Some posters on this forum are just passing a phase, many of them will not believe what they wrote on this forum 20 to 30 years from now and will wonder how it is possible that they are capable of saying such terrible things about their fellow discusants and their beliefs. Thus even the militants on this forum will change or get destroyed by the very dark emotions the emit. Thus there is no reason in my view to be concerned. Let both the grass and the weed grow until the harvest time. Cheers
