Rule 10 says:

"You always have the right to express your opinion, as long as it is relevant to the thread topic, and you do so in a civil manner, justifying what you say. If you want to discuss something other than the thread topic, make your own thread.

The forums are here for gamers of all persuasions, so unless you're in a thread specifically geared towards platform comparison/discussion, keep your anti-platform comments out of the thread. Note that there is a difference between having a reasonable argument in the correct thread and trolling.

Similarly, do not create threads, posts or signatures just to bait people of a specific fan group. Bait threads will be locked and you will be moderated for them. If you spend a lot of time making hit-and-run negative threads or posts about a specific platform you will also be moderated at the discretion of the moderators."

1. It's relevant to the topic (Closer than anything else IMO)

2. I am giving reasoning why I have my opinion.

3. I did not make this thread to fire up NIV users.

You are right that's my bad I opened this and the thread about Smash brothers character usage at the same time. My apologies. This is not flaming. I saw the smash brothers image and for some reason thought this topic was this one http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=191980 and that you were using a misleading title/ topic in order to trick people into discussing the bible which would be trolling and flaming. To be clear you arn't it was a mistake on my end. It wasn't until I looked back(currently distracted watching the new "Manhattan" episode. The show is good if you havn't seen it.) I was about to edit my post and apologise for the mistake when you responded to me. So again that is my bad and I apologise. 

No problem.

When you can prove it isn't i'll use some of my time proving it is,  until then the burden of proof lies with the one trying to convince others. 

If only folks would spend as much time and effort proving their own religion, as opposed to disproving everyone elses :)

Lol this thread is ignorance at its finest. This thread should be locked.

Well that right there is the purpose, by diverting attention away from your own by picking apart anothers, you artificially elevate your own to a higher status.

In my opinion, religion is a leftover of a time when people used it to explain things they couldnt understand or explain, or used it to control the masses, both reasons are plied heavilly in it's use today, while very few religions have any tangible, varifiable basis beyond written word.

And of course, it's all too easy in this day and age to start a "religion" of your own and make bank off of the naivety and vulnerability of your followers that many do.
