Has this forum become a religious forum for others to share their happening in their church?
I belive these are things that could be moved to another forum...
The O'Club is for recent news, personal news involving ones family or friends, a place to just shoot the breeze..
It's gotten kind of annoying having all these religious threads that are passivly pushing their religion on you..
:rolleyes:

Guess what some people do when they find a thread they don't like or think is boring------- Don't read it!!!!
Edit:
The O' Club
Open forum for off-topic and less serious discussions.

The irony is that you are partially correct...there seem to be only two main topics these days...religion and guns.
Praise the Lord...and pass the ammunition!

Isn't religion a serious subject?
:p

Funny. I just did a quick scan and only see 1 religeon based thread.
If you are possibly inferring to my comments on marriage on another thread I assure you my opinions have no basis in religeon but on personal opinion alone.

No..not the marriage thing..
Talking about Seagoon, he seems to be pushing his religion as much as he can.. Esp. Starting a thread that he intends to keep on the first page with 'Christian' happenings.
-
I don't like religious threads myself but they are easy to spot and avoid.
Dont care for gun or car threads either but thats just cause they dont interest me.. They are also easy to avoid.

depends on who you ask. ;)
Personaly, if seagoon wants to do a thread that promotes his religion, i couldn't care less. It was nice (and responsible) of him to flag the thread as "Christian" for anyone not interested to avoid it.

Eh, he aint hurting anyone with it and if I dont want to read it I wont.
Least ya know going into it whats its about;)

If your faith (or lack of) is so easily challenged, maybe you should step back and re-examine it.

Funny, i thought the o'club was for anything off topic in relation to the game Aces High. Maybe you should phone HT and let him know where he has gone wrong ;)
Personally, i enjoy the religion threads - as not being at all religious myself i find myself getting edumuhcated by them and take an interest in others' views.
-
I don't see anything in Seagoon's post which tries to "push it" on people. In fact he gave the thread a very obvious title which makes it easily-avoided by people who don't wish to participate.
Why do you feel so threatened Hawklore? I'm not trolling, either. I really want to know why you feel this particular subject (as opposed to politics, cars, guns, etc) seems to be "too much" to allow on this BBS.

Hawklore no one is pushing their religion apon you. That is your own misconception. There is 1 thread out of many that is current that has anything to do with religion.
Seagoon has the right to post anything he wants (within the confines of the rules) just as you have the right not to read it.
If religion or Seagoon's posts offends you maybe you need to take stock of what is truley offensive.

The O'Club is for reasonable discussion of topics unrelated to Aces High in any direct way. If the subject of Religion in general bothers you, dont read the threads. This isnt a defense just of Christian threads. Any religion is just as welcome to post threads like Seagoon's, so long as it stays a reasonable discussion. I've seen several threads over the last few months from people who had valid questions regarding different aspects of Islam, Christianity, Judaism, and Paganism. Not all of them were long, and some of them degenerated into shouting matches, but the questions raised were valid for discussion I think. It was only tempers that got the better of the participants sometimes.
Again, if the subject bothers you, or you cant handle having your views challenged (not to mention your intellect), then dont read the thread. You seem like a nice enough guy, for all the bashing you recieve. Having been the brunt of alot of it, I'd think you'd understand that position and not start on someone else. If there is something in one of Seagoon's posts that bothers you, why dont you answer to that, in the thread, instead of making a new thread and bashing him for sharing his views with us? I happen to have alot of respect for him just for the fact that he's willing to state his beliefs out in the open and take criticism for it. Even when it's not justified. Like this thread.
-
I've been reading Seagoons threads for quite some time and I have to say that I've never seen him push his religion on anyone. Although I don't always agree with everything he says, his posts are always thought provoking and done in a civil manner.
Think of the O club as cable TV. If you don't like a particular thread, change the channel.
No one is forcing you to read every single thread.
-
I beleive the anti-religion threads far exceeds the religious threads.
I think Seagoon is one of the best things that has happen to this place.
If you don`t like em, don`t read em. Pretty simple concept actually.
-
It is just you.
'Nuff said.
Seagoon is not pushing his religion on anyone. He is discussing religion with people in a rational manner.

yup it's settled. There's your answer. It's just you

The O Club and AH is better with Seagoon than without him. I was baptised Roman Catholic but I have not attended church in many years. The O club is for off topic conversations from religion to sports to anything other than the game.
I read Seagoons post about his friend who is the black minister or preacher. I thought it was a good post and well thought out. In his defense he is allowed to create such threads just as anyone is allowed to read or not read his thread.
I enjoy reading just about every thread that pertains to me here on the O club no matter what the topic may be. Makes for good reading here at work killing time on the late shifts.
-
Ya, the main reason I read the O'Club threads is because of the information offered up by such a diverse base of knowledge. I honestly feel lucky that we have such an intelligent base here.
To try to limit this knowledge base would be a shame. Especialy, a topic that is so deeply imbeded in our culture. I don't prescribe to Seagoons religion, but whether you believe in what is offered up or not... it's good that it is available. Any information is good to have... because you still get to choose for yourself how you see it. Especialy by a guy like Seagoon, that is able to present it in such a classy way.
Hawklore, I might suggest that you DO read some of his threads... if only as an excercise in being able to look at a different view point without feeling theatened by it being presented to you.

RELIGION is a BELIEF-- NOT a FACT.

Correct. But if you have faith in what Christianity teaches, then you believe it IS a fact. If you dont have that faith, and you dont believe, then its just a belief someone else has. :)

I like Jack Daniels.
This bum was digging through the trash and he found a lamp. Well he rubbed it and sure enough a genie came out. Well, that genie gave him 3 wishes.
His first wish is to be rich beyond his dreams. POW Gold and money are all over the alley. Bum says damn, My next wish I want a bottle Of jack daniels that always fills back up. POW Liter O jack in the bums hand. He Says I gotta check it out and chugs it. Sets it down and sure enough, it fills right back up.
The Genie asks "What is your third wish?"
The Bum answers, "Another one just like it"
:rofl
