Just because my beliefs are different from those of the mainstream, some people thought that my comments were "snarky."
People have to understand that when they do not understand something, they should not make judgements.

I believe that this is a mis-statement RoccoR5955 Jan 2015 #21

Mocking prayers or giving believers a hard time for praying is not appropriate here. hrmjustin Jan 2015 #22

Well, it was done to me. TWICE in the same day! RoccoR5955 Jan 2015 #23

What do you believe that is so upsetting to others? hrmjustin Jan 2015 #24

What was so upsetting RoccoR5955 Jan 2015 #29

What is your view of other religions and atheism? hrmjustin Jan 2015 #30

Hey, whatever people want to believe in RoccoR5955 Jan 2015 #31

When did you get ordained? what training did you have to have? hrmjustin Jan 2015 #32

I was ordained last year. RoccoR5955 Jan 2015 #33

ok. hrmjustin Jan 2015 #34

Twenty bucks. rug Jan 2015 #38

That is what I thought. thanks. hrmjustin Jan 2015 #39

I know, it is a steal, to become an Ordained Minister it runs $49.99! snooper2 Jan 2015 #43

The point was that flying spaghetti monster posts are not allowed in this room. hrmjustin Jan 2015 #44

So if various governments already have accepted/authorized this religion it isn't good enough? snooper2 Jan 2015 #50

No and as host of this room I ask you to stop posting this stuff in this room. hrmjustin Jan 2015 #51

I get it. RoccoR5955 Jan 2015 #53

The spaghetti monster is a parody on religion and as host I want to make clear it is not hrmjustin Jan 2015 #56

It may have been setup that way. RoccoR5955 Jan 2015 #62

Oh good, I'm all ears. rug Jan 2015 #70

In your religion, you might call it RoccoR5955 Jan 2015 #73

We're talking about your "religion". Your need to compare shows its intent. rug Jan 2015 #74

Our intent is RoccoR5955 Jan 2015 #76

Shit-stirring and mockery beies that. rug Jan 2015 #77

If your beliefs are legitimate and not a parody, I will apologize. rug Jan 2015 #25

We believe in this sort of heaven because we have FAITH. RoccoR5955 Jan 2015 #28

I see. Parody. rug Jan 2015 #35

Why do you ridicule? RoccoR5955 Jan 2015 #36

Cutting through the crap, state why your alleged belief involves strippers. rug Jan 2015 #37

You should read the gospel and learn for yourself- snooper2 Jan 2015 #45

I have. It's bullshit. rug Jan 2015 #46

And it is not allowed in this room. hrmjustin Jan 2015 #49

Why is this any different RoccoR5955 Jan 2015 #52

It was set up as a parody of religion. hrmjustin Jan 2015 #58

ORIGINALLY it was. RoccoR5955 Jan 2015 #61

I am sorry but I find that hard to believe. hrmjustin Jan 2015 #65

Well I find it hard to believe RoccoR5955 Jan 2015 #68

Mocking religion is not allowed here and tge spaghetti monster thing is mocking us. hrmjustin Jan 2015 #69

I became an ordained minister in the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster to get around AtheistCrusader Jan 2015 #79

The fact remains that it will not be allowed in this room and that is final. hrmjustin Jan 2015 #81

You are a hypocrite. AtheistCrusader Jan 2015 #84

You came into this safe haven to call me a hypocrite? hrmjustin Jan 2015 #86

But you're being a hypocrite here, not there. Callouts are not allowed. AtheistCrusader Jan 2015 #87

And you think you should do it here? hrmjustin Jan 2015 #88

I wasn't the one that arranged that. AtheistCrusader Jan 2015 #89

Take it wherever you wish but leave it out of here. hrmjustin Jan 2015 #90

I don't believe it is 'meta' to object to you abusing someone in this room. AtheistCrusader Jan 2015 #91

Abuse! I told the person that it is not allowed! hrmjustin Jan 2015 #92

You told him HE is not allowed. AtheistCrusader Jan 2015 #93

Do the hosts of Atheists and agnostics allow material in the room that mocks hrmjustin Jan 2015 #94

First you have to establish that it is mockery. AtheistCrusader Jan 2015 #95

I haven't bounced anyone from this room yet. hrmjustin Jan 2015 #96

I didn't complain about the lock. AtheistCrusader Jan 2015 #97

Mocking is not tolerated in safe havens. hrmjustin Jan 2015 #98

I do see it. And I couch my response in the intent of the poster. AtheistCrusader Jan 2015 #99

How do you possibly propse allowing one person to use it and not allow others to do it. hrmjustin Jan 2015 #100

I propose allow it. AtheistCrusader Jan 2015 #101

I am sorry but the very fact that it is posted in here sets people off. hrmjustin Jan 2015 #102

The source of the FSM was not legal at all but an internet letter by Bobby Hendeson. rug Jan 2015 #115

If it's a scam, why did it give me EXACTLY what I wanted for a mere $20? AtheistCrusader Jan 2015 #131

That's it? They gave you a piece of paper for $20 so it's not a sham? (I said sham; you said scam.) rug Feb 2015 #132

Oh no you don't. AtheistCrusader Feb 2015 #136

It's highly effective. Walls are cumbling as we speak. rug Feb 2015 #139

So which do you prefer? AtheistCrusader Feb 2015 #142

Anything that doesn't include a kitchen utensil. rug Feb 2015 #148

And yet, a clown car is exactly what I needed, and exactly what the issue merited. AtheistCrusader Feb 2015 #149

Who the hell said I want to impress you? rug Feb 2015 #153

I'm sorry the conversation didn't go the way you hoped it would. AtheistCrusader Feb 2015 #155

I don't mnd conversations but the hemorrhaging of your life's hurts is not that. rug Feb 2015 #156

More like a life of seeing other people get hurt by various organizations. AtheistCrusader Feb 2015 #158

A yacht! okasha Feb 2015 #150

Why is an email from Nigeria different from an email from your bank? rug Jan 2015 #59

I never get email from either. n/t RoccoR5955 Jan 2015 #60

Before you continue posting in this room please read this thread. hrmjustin Jan 2015 #48

So mocking is okay against Pastafarianism RoccoR5955 Jan 2015 #75

You can think whatever you want but the flying spaghetti monster parody is ment to mock hrmjustin Jan 2015 #78

No, the original purpose was a fulcrum by which to win a court battle AtheistCrusader Jan 2015 #80

Whatever. it is not allowed in this room. hrmjustin Jan 2015 #82

OK, so much for religious tolerance then. RoccoR5955 Jan 2015 #83

I as host have made the rules clear. hrmjustin Jan 2015 #85

And your mocking my legitimate faith RoccoR5955 Jan 2015 #103

Mocking? how am I mocking you? hrmjustin Jan 2015 #104

You are mocking it by RoccoR5955 Jan 2015 #106

It was set up as a way to mock religion! hrmjustin Jan 2015 #107

So were other religions. RoccoR5955 Jan 2015 #110

Do what you like but while I am host this is not allowed in here. hrmjustin Jan 2015 #112

So this is normal... RoccoR5955 Jan 2015 #113

I don't knos the boss and I don't have the gold. hrmjustin Jan 2015 #114

It was not. Saying it over and over doesn't make that true. AtheistCrusader Feb 2015 #133

Point is it is banned from this room. hrmjustin Feb 2015 #135

So, going forward, I trust that you will state just that, and not AtheistCrusader Feb 2015 #138

It is a mockery despite what you say. hrmjustin Feb 2015 #140

Have a good night. AtheistCrusader Feb 2015 #144

Thank you. hrmjustin Feb 2015 #145

I'm going to finish 'talking' with Rug about that tangent, and then AtheistCrusader Feb 2015 #146

That is fine. you say what you need to. hrmjustin Feb 2015 #147

Wrong. Here's the text of the decision. rug Jan 2015 #116

Wrong case, my mistake. AtheistCrusader Jan 2015 #130

The difference is, Russell never said the teapot was real. rug Feb 2015 #134

And as such, it is useful as a logical/philosophical proposition only. AtheistCrusader Feb 2015 #137

Neither do lies and liars. rug Feb 2015 #141

Well, that rules one of us out. AtheistCrusader Feb 2015 #143

It was "banished' okasha Jan 2015 #26

Just because a religion's beliefs is different from your's RoccoR5955 Jan 2015 #27

I:m not a host here, but I'd like to suggest a protocol. okasha Jan 2015 #40

Yes. Be kind and peaceful. hrmjustin Jan 2015 #41

No mocking? Have you read some of the responses in this thread...?? PoutrageFatigue Jan 2015 #54

This message was self-deleted by its author hrmjustin Jan 2015 #55

Spaghetti monster threads are not tolerated in this room. hrmjustin Jan 2015 #57

Very tolerant of you Justin. PoutrageFatigue Jan 2015 #63

Read the rules! hrmjustin Jan 2015 #64

Very disingenuous of you, poutrage. rug Jan 2015 #72

You forgot Pagan, Zoroastrian, Rosacrucian, Tao, Sikh, Jain RoccoR5955 Jan 2015 #105

That is not true. if you had read the threads in this room you would know I posted prayers hrmjustin Jan 2015 #109

I'm a pagan. okasha Jan 2015 #129

Yeah. Beer volcanos and strippers. rug Jan 2015 #71

Oh? And a talking snake and RoccoR5955 Jan 2015 #108

So it is clear what you are doing here now. hrmjustin Jan 2015 #111

Ah, here we have it. rug Jan 2015 #117

I think he just did. hrmjustin Jan 2015 #118

I take that as an admission from you that FSM is in fact "stupid satire". rug Jan 2015 #119

You simply do not understand my point RoccoR5955 Jan 2015 #120

Why should we be tolerant of something being done to mock us? hrmjustin Jan 2015 #121

For the nth time RoccoR5955 Jan 2015 #124

Yes we are tolerant but as host of this room I will not allow religion to be mocked. hrmjustin Jan 2015 #125

No, you are not. RoccoR5955 Jan 2015 #126

No and I am not going to. hrmjustin Jan 2015 #128

I'll be honest with you. I can tolerate just about any belief. rug Jan 2015 #122

That's your opinion. RoccoR5955 Jan 2015 #123

That's my direct observation. rug Jan 2015 #127

OK Here goes RoccoR5955 Feb 2015 #151

A nonanswer demonstrating your only concern is using this farce to attack other religions. rug Feb 2015 #152

You really RoccoR5955 Feb 2015 #154

Lol, you post this patently dishonest nonsense in a safe haven and you accuse me of trolling? rug Feb 2015 #157

No way. RoccoR5955 Feb 2015 #159

! rug Feb 2015 #160

Good advice. rug Jan 2015 #42

Safe travels in this journey Justin Peacetrain Jan 2015 #66
