Who Else Is Sick Of All The Religious Threads Cluttering Up the Lounge??

[CO Liberal]

:shrug:

[Dookus]

1. Not me

I think we should ALL discuss religion more - it's been a major force in human affairs for milennia. I think it warrants a little discussion.

[Ladyhawk]

2. I think they should probably be in General Discussion...

...if they are going to get heated, which they almost always do.

Religion...the other politics.

Note to self: don't start religious threads in DU Lounge.

[CO Liberal]

6. Or "The Meeting Room"

The DU Lounge is for light-hearted fare - not philosophical discussions.

[pagerbear]

8. I see lotsof stuff in GD that should be in the Lounge.

Or nowhere at all.

[redqueen]

3. Not me

as long as everyone can keep their tempers in check.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

4. Amen

I mean...yeah

[freetobegay]

5. Not me.

[2Design]

7. GD not meeting room -

some of them look like repukes -
religion has turned politic and belongs in political

put spirituality stuff in meeting room

[CO Liberal]

9. Or Civil Rights/Equality/Privacy

Many of us don't want to see any mention of religion when we come to the DU Lounge. We come here to get away from it all.

[2Design]

17. yes that would be a good forum - no one goes there unless very

serious

[CO Liberal]

30. And That's Where Those Discussions Belong

Not in a light-hearted board like this.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

10. Me

[matcom]

11. YES!!

and i have started alerting on them. keep that shite outta here

[jdots]

19. I was an atheist

but i gave it up NO HOLIDAYS not funny ! the thing i hate about relgious rants is that people start bragging about how devoutly superior they are if they were they would'nt brag

[YellowRubberDuckie]

12. I think that more DUers should be more tolerant of others' beliefs...

Everytime we get into something religious, the atheists are mocking the Christians, etc. We need to knock it off and just let others believe whatever they want, and more importantly, respect it.

50. Unfortunately.....

...many of the religious threads are thinly veiled attempts to bash another group of human beings.

[Misunderestimator]

13. To take the suggestion of Wat_tyler (though I totally agree with you):

Meatloaf:

* 1 1/2 pound ground beef
* 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1/8 teaspoon pepper
* 2 tablespoons chopped onion
* 2 tablespoons chopped green pepper
* 2 cans tomato sauce
* 2 tablespoons sugar
* 1/4 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Combine beef, salt, pepper, onions, green pepper and 1/2 can tomato sauce. Bake 450 degrees for 10 minutes. Broil 5 minutes longer. While meat is cooking, combine remaining tomato sauce, sugar and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to boil, boil about 3 minutes. Pour on top of meat.

[Wat_Tyler]

14. Be careful with the broiling.

Broiling is always problematic.

[Misunderestimator]

15. You're absolutely correct.... you really have to watch it...

personally, I keep the light on. :hi:

[sangh0]

23. Stop quoting Jesus!!

if you're sick of religious threads :-)

[Texasgal]

18. ROFLMAO!!!

Good one mis!

[Beware the Beast Man]

16. Waiter! Bring me more religious threads!

Hosanna in the highest!

[cheezus]

20. um, the Lounge is nothing BUT clutter

i'd rather see fewer threads like this

[dr.strangelove]

21. It always ends up being about religion

It seems to me that all the good lounge threads wind up in religious bickering. I don't have a problem with them, but I'd rather see them in GD.

[pelagius]

22. Might be a moot point...

...since the mods/admin have locked or deleted many threads with religious discussions and intend to continue doing so:

[daddybear]

24. They would be wonderful

if the Christian-haters did not attack and just let us chat. At any rate, they are better than all the sports JUNK. LOL But I THOUGHT the DU was for getting news and vies on the election stuff... Bush attacks etc.

[the Princess]

26. Just for the record

You said some pretty nasty and down right disgusting things to me in one thread. So no has clean hands here when it comes to attacking. I just intend to not bother anymore.

Take care.

[daddybear]

27. That swung both ways

so let's keep it that way... thanks.

[CO Liberal]

31. If You Want To "Just Chat"....

...then go to "The Meeting Room" - not here in the Lounge.

[daddybear]

32. Naw

we are everywhere. Thanks though. (Did not know you were DU owner)

[the Princess]

35. OK both of you.........BREAK!

Go to neutral corners and take a deep breath.

giev it a rest guys please!? :)

[CO Liberal]

36. Oh...All Right......

:-)

[daddybear]

43. HJeheheheh

I will fix it better... I will use th elittle X I just found out about a few minutes ago to get rid of pesty sports junk... hehehe... hugs to all. God love sya!

[Texasgal]

45. Yummmmmmm

[Misunderestimator]

49. hehe

:thumbsup:

[Pithlet]

51. That's funny

coming from you.

[the Princess]

25. Well honey - I gott ask ya

Is it Religion in general that you object to or Christianity specifically?

Cause I could start a thread about Paganism - would that bother you? (I won't)

I find it is not really worth the effort or the aggravation to respond to religious posts IF you see it's gonna be about preaching and nothing more. Otherwise I think a good religious debate can be really really interesting.

JMHO

[redqueen]

28. Interesting point

I wonder...

[CO Liberal]

29. Specifically.....

...it's the threads that people start specifically to advocate Christianity, usually at the expense of other belief systems. There are other boards in DU thay are far more appropriate for those discussions.

[the Princess]

33. Um OK

I'm not sure I agree - or that I see some of the threads as being that way - BUT - so what else is new? LOL YOu know how much I love a heated discussion. :)

[Misunderestimator]

34. All these religious threads have convinced me that I am indeed

an atheist. So, see? There is some good to come out of it all. :)

[arwalden]

37. They Just Creep Me Out

[WoodrowFan]

39. I'll pray for you both then

between Lesbian fantasies that is..

[arwalden]

40. SINNER!!!!!

[WoodrowFan]

42. I'm not perfect

just forgiven.

now where was I? oh, yes, the FALAFA and the box turtle. :evilgrin:

[arwalden]

53. That Was The Title Of A Sultry Song By Grace Jones

I'm not perfect (But I'm perfect for you)

Had we met a different time we'd be perfect for each other.
Now we're spending all our time in this world apart together.
My heart is aching from all the love we're giving.
We're not faking
is this life we're living ?

I'm not perfect but I'm perfect for you - now I'm right on time.
I'm not perfect but I'm perfect for you - I feel right on time.

More and more we are together trying to discover.
I see the flicker in your eye
are you looking for something better ?
You once told me lying on the ground
I'm not perfect
my teeth go up and down.

I'm not perfect but I'm perfect for you - now I'm right on time...
Why waste it ? Thinking about it
taste it ?
Don't waste it ? Thinking about it
taste it ?
It really doesn't matter wherever we might go
we are tied together
that's one thing we both know.

I'm not perfect but I'm perfect for you - now I'm right on time...
Right on time I feel on time tonight
I'm right on time -
Right on time I feel on time tonight
I'm right on time -
Right on time I feel on time tonight
I'm right on time.

[WoodrowFan]

[arwalden]

56. LOL... You Nut... I Wasn't Flirting With You!

[WoodrowFan]

63. I'm offended

LOL

[CO Liberal]

41. Gee...That Sounds Like Spike TV

[WoodrowFan]

38. better than another Yankkes thread

or the dreaded cat thread.

Born-Again Pagan Cats who are Yankees Fans Ask Me Anything threads..

[Misunderestimator]

44. Or ...

Why are all you Christian homosexual DUers bashing cats?

[WoodrowFan]

46. because

[Misunderestimator]

47. You know what bugs me?

I used to like falafel.

[WoodrowFan]

48. I used to like box turtles

but just as friends.

[arwalden]

57. Isn't That A Muppet Character?

[CO Liberal]

59. Close

Farfel was Jimmy Nelson's puppet. He predates the Muppets by several years.

[arwalden]

[CO Liberal]

60. Reminds Me of a Bumper Sticker I Saw

In Colorado Springs, of all places:

[ScreamingMeemie]

61. Heh...I want one of those.
