Some of us still love you, too.

If you were banned, it was because you were disobeying GNC rules, and there's no rule there against being a young earth creationist. If anything, it would have been nearly the opposite. A Christian evolutionist would have faced an uphill battle.
So why were you actually banned? |
I already told you, whether you want to belive it or not, that is your prerogative.

FlamingZ, I was a moderator at the GNC. We didn't ban people for being Creationist, as you asserted.
What was your GNC username?

I have been a Christian for 30 years and I do not regret a single second or even a micro-second of that time, I do not beleive any of my time has been wasted in serving my Lord and God Jesus Christ.
As a matter of fact I love the "koolaid" and want to drink more of it.

Ah. Well, if you had any content there, it's gone now. No way for me to dig into anything.
Bro. Rutledge always did think that the way to handle the forum was with an iron fist. He's now the only moderator. I couldn't stand how censored the GNC was, so that's why I stopped participating quite awhile ago.
That said, I still can't fathom anyone being banned because they were a Creationist. Now, if you were involved in some huge argument over evolution vs. creationism--well, everyone would have been banned--for arguing. Not for their particular stance on the issue.

I am sure Rutledge would ban ME for having an Old Earth\Old Universe (notice I did NOT use the word evolution) view regardless of my calm logical posting style. LOL

These forums may well have ben a factor in my undoing as far a Christianity is concerned... I believe Jesus was. I believe he was a really swell dude. Do I believe he was God?
No. Do I believe he would be appalled by most of the junk I read here? Yup.
Sorry folks. I am into spring water, not koolaid.
I don't regret my time as a Pentecostal, and that is difficult because I sometimes feel my life was, wasted on that,. But . I stopped believing an a god ten years ago. but I liked the culture, tools like FlamingZword are the primary reason I left. Intolerance sucks. Now if I have to put up with arrogant hats like that I can do it while drinking a beer and listening to heavy metal .

You are an atheist? Because of people like FlamingZword?
