READ BEFORE

Before I start this off I want to make this perfectly clear. This thread is a discussion of opinions. No one in this thread is allowed to attack people's opinions, only question and try to make others see things your way. If any mods see any forms of direct attacks on opinions it is an instant week long ban. Hatred towards something without reason will also be frowned upon and result in a ban. Always give a reason, always say things pleasantly and in an open manner if you are going to question something or show distaste. If it is to hard, don't post.

Thanks for understanding.

How this will work:

Each section, if there are mutiple sections, can be commented on separately. You can separate each response however you want or lump everything together in one paragraph. This is a free forum to share our thoughts. Feel free to discuss openly how you feel. Just keep it clean.

My general belief:

Freedom of Knowledge and religion are two things that I believe are important in this world. Along with this is the right to express one's knowledge and understanding without one's thoughts to be considered bigotry or hatred towards others.

We should always keep an open mind because no matter what religion one is from we should always remember that not everything is as written. There is no correct religion, no correct belief. All paint different pictures of history. Just like history books, especially comparing international books, each tell their own version of events. 

From my experience as being a Catholic before I started considering myself agnostic I came to the conclusion that religion is based around having good morals and hope. Good morals like the ten commandments which should be common logic in today's society anyways and hope as is giving families a way to vent the emotions and wish for their loved ones well in death, life, or currently war.

As for knowledge I believe that everyone's thoughts should be shared and discussed openly. Even Priests both Jewish and christian can sit down and discuss their knowledge of their religions freely without cost to themselves. This is why I support the protests Anonymous has been doing for the last few months. We all share the belief that knowledge is free and all support Free Zone Scientology which gives members access to all knowledge without charging their members.

Now lets all discuss our individual thoughts and beliefs while sharing our knowledge.

Who's Anonymous?

I sense some bannings will follow

Since you're bucking the VGChartz system with your great big balls ssj12, can we extend this knowledge piece to reflect the sex threads? Knowledge is power and some of these kids aren't getting the necessary info from their folks. Have I ever mentioned how much I respect what you're doing rebel?

If this is somehow against your posting rules, i'll go ahead and take my one week beheading with a William Wallace face.

who bucked anything? DK allowed this.

But save that for another topic.

is it ok to post your actual views in this thread then? or will you be banned if you take issue with something?

Well, I have no idea what to say.

Ummm... yes?

Discussion can not be started without controversy.

Without controversy, there is just agreement.

Ummm...ok. I thought what I was asking was on topic. So this means I can't speak on the sex subject in this topic and it only refers to forms of morally correct, inoffensive and age appropriate knowledge? Gotcha. Funny thing is, in the Gaming Forum we're always defending ourselves as gamers against the politicians that want to ban things like sex and violence in games, but we get rid of it in our own forums.

post away, just question views you dont agree with dont attack.

one thing i think should be made clear from the get go is that you dont need to be religous to have a morale code, i.e sense of right and wrong.
