Members Alchemist Posted February 25, 2007 Members Share Posted February 25, 2007 I think this forum would be better off with no religion threads at all, they always seem to go to {censored} at one point, probably best to just avoid them. This is after all an amp forum..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members STRAT TOOL Posted February 25, 2007 Members Share Posted February 25, 2007 I don't like the censorship here. If a thread doesn't appeal to you, don't click on it. Most stuff I see as conversation between friends. Heated or not. You can't go into other forums, there's too much of a clique everywhere, OT topics here are cool. If I want an opinion on a life matter, it would be better to do it here as opposed to the political forum or open jam. One I'll get called a neocon and the other will be various threads about poo.

Members code_blue Posted February 25, 2007 Members Share Posted February 25, 2007 So are you saying ban only threads that bash religion, and leave the ones that promote religion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MonikerLewinsky Posted February 25, 2007 Author Members Share Posted February 25, 2007 So are you saying ban only threads that bash religion, and leave the ones that promote religion?

Members Echoes Posted February 25, 2007 Members Share Posted February 25, 2007 just because there are sharp disagreements on each side does not justify censorship regardless of the topic. Don't like? Dont click... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members code_blue Posted February 25, 2007 Members Share Posted February 25, 2007 You could never ban religious content from a site this large, because it would be viewed as anti-religious by die hard religious people. They feel they are on a mission....sigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members charliedango Posted February 25, 2007 Members Share Posted February 25, 2007 Religious threads can go up in the political forum or open jam. They don't need to be in the amp forum. I'm beginning to agree with this statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DeathMonkey Posted February 25, 2007 Members Share Posted February 25, 2007 Isn't this what we hate about "being PC", the idea that we "can't say anything" about people we disagree with? The fact is that unless we can talk about our opinions, stuff just goes on under the surface - the racism and homophobia, the misogyny, the xenophobia, the stereotyping, it all goes on anyways, might as well drag it into the light of day. You have just as much right to open your mouth and prove you're a goat{censored}ing retard as I have to open MY mouth and prove you're a goat{censored}ing retard.

Members Polaris20 Posted February 25, 2007 Members Share Posted February 25, 2007 Seeing as how this is a privately owned forum, censorship is up to the owners, not legalities. And since this is an AMP forum, it sucks when good threads about AMPS are bounced down the pages by pro or anti religious/political/etc. threads.
