A point of order:


No one knew that except you and staff. Warnings and access details are kept private here.

That is why I was addressing admins! Duh!

I am curious about 2 things:

1) From where did you obtain the english translation of the Qur'an verses you quoted?

Unless you are a speaker/reader of Arabic, I assume you used someone else's translations, and forgot to give credit when you posted. (NOTE: if it's a 'hate site' it would be better to PM me a link, rather than publicly post it here).

From a hardcover English translation that I got from my local library. Would you like me to PM the PIN #? Or perhaps the colour of the underwear that the guy who translated it was wearing?
Oh yeah, and for your info: I do not visit hate sites. I do not hate muslims. Some of my best friends are muslims and we discuss islam AND Christianity together. They agree on many of th points that I made, but believe that islam can be a good religion and follow it. (Not caring to take literally the passages that order them to smite off the body parts of disbelievers and cover them in molten metal) They on the other hand disagree with Christianity and many things that Christians have done. I agree with them that many of the things that Christians have done hae been bad, believe Christianity to be the true Religion and God to be the true God, and do not believe that things people claiming to be Christians have done is a good way to judge Christianity. In this way we can all get along, speaking our opinion (founded in truth, not hate like many members of the Org), and still remaining friends. This is something I have NOT seen on the Org. I guess I am lucky to have civilised friends.

2) Why do you come back to the Org?

Because it is my all time favorite site. I like the Org, like most of the people on it, like most of the atmosphere. It is a good place, and I think that if I stopped coming here, I would have to give up playing TW.

In the face of such opposition, what motivates you to return? Love of a good fight? To show heathens the errors of their ways? I'm really, genuinely curious about that.

I don't like a fight. My point was to have an intelligent discussion. A member of the forums was trying to make a point, and the other one was calling it hate. I provided facts to show that the first member was right. I was not trying to "repremand" anyone, or show anyone "the error of their ways", but trying to have an intelligent discussion - something I thought possible on the Org. I admit that I did get a little hot headed and phrase some of my sentences sarcastically, but till I had been acussed of all kinds of things.

Some guys try out a vid-game fan site, don't like what they see, and just remove the link from their bookmarks. Others like the place and stick around. A few meet opposition, and fight like banshees about their bad treatment for days/weeks/months. I don't understand that last group. Maybe you can help me to.
I should not have met "opposition" for stating my opinion and supporting it with facts on a thread devoted to religious discussion. That doesn't say much for the Backroom.
