Religion to the extreme is dangerous, no doubt. But there is another extreme and you seem to find it with no problem. This is a forum and they do have rules. One you failed to comprehend is the one of admin discretion. Live and learn. Or keep beating a dead horse. If you keep pushing the boundaries of good judgement then we will fall to just another vile forum. There are those out there and I think the response you are looking for will be found with one of the others. I enjoy this forum and the folks who post here. I want to hear about cars and peoples lives within a scope. Not their sexual trials and tribulations. So if you don't mind lets keep it on the up and up. But if the mods let you post it, I will at your asking give my opinion on your questions. You won't like them, but I will give them. As a moral man I have my obligations to post in a mature way, instead of a high school boys gym of one upmanship. Good luck in your life... seems you my need that and more in your current direction.

Maybe you should send those other shots to my personal email so I can judge them as worthy of the forum. I promise to give them full scrutiny.

13. Moderators and Administrators have final word in anything and everything. If you have a problem or a complaint direct it to them, not to the general forums. They will then take the appropriate actions. This applies to issues with the forum in general, as well as issues with other members.
You have just broken rule 13, Erik. If you have a problem with the decision that was made, you need to take that up with us via PMs not through a post.

I frankly couldn't care less about what the two of you were up to, but the issue is that it wasn't the "extreme christian" who decided to delete that post, but the administrator who is actually quite moderate. Jeremiah only start the "Point Man" thread after he got permission and the administrator does not always agree with Jeremiah's point of view, the difference is Jeremiah hasn't been causing trouble with his posts and he doesn't call names or accuse our members of the armed forces of being ignorant "killers".

Whether you like Jeremiah, 1 Bad Mirada, and myself doesn't matter. The fact is that you need to obey the rules that are written and unwritten. You need to accept that when we make a decision to delete a post, it was because it violated the rules written or unwritten. You need to respect that, especially when 1 Bad Mirada makes the decision. He is very fair person.

Hmmm...bombing buildings, smashing commerical planes into buildings, sending letters full of anthrax, brutually killing civilians, and many other horrible acts compares to deleting your post? Three words for you. GET A LIFE! You are not a martyr in this. You got caught with your paints down (figure of speech no pun intended) now you are trying to twist Jeremiah and 1 Bad Mirada into being the bad guys.

As lear4406 explained, you represent the other extreme and, despite what you claim, you have mocked Jeremiah's faith in the past and you have compared his beliefs as being just as extreme as the Middle-Eastern terrorists. Lear4406 is right that what you are doing is only going to make this site become unfriendly and unfamily friendly. If you are unaware, we have many members whom are under 18, consider the impact and the influence you are making upon them. If you so badly want to post pictures like that, why don't you just post elsewhere on dirty photo sites where that is the purpose of the site? This site's purpose is to primarily discuss cars and other topics that are acceptable for people of all ages, not for posting barely dressed people.

I'm going to warn you that this behavior better stop and soon.

2. While debating and discussion is fine, respect your fellow enthusiasts.

If we feel a thread is getting out of hand we will close or delete it. You can/will lose your posting privileges if you continue this type of behavior.

7. No promotions of other related sites. There is no problem with occasionally using the name of other sites or even posting a link to a pertinent thread from another site, but repeatedly referring to other related sites is considered "SPAM" and is not allowed. [b]Please have the decency of NOT putting links to them in your signature, profile

Holy crap are kidding me ?? talk about putting words in my mouth. I had to read that 3x times thinking you are ref someone else. I will give you the benefit of the doubt that you were unless you state otherwise.

If you are in case doing that, shame on you. One of my best friends was killed in Anbar Prov in 03. I bow down to the military guys doing that for us, so again maybe I am misreading your post so Ill drop it there.

If not you are as guilty of hate mongoreing as the Bush and all of the rest of the conservative christian blow hards. Iam all about love and peace and horny women. Pretty simple really.

I spent my life in a very conservative christian high school then 4 more years at another very conservative Christian College , Palm Beach Atlantic University , until I went off to medical school. So please keep the fire and brimstone speech for those that live in a bubble. I have more years studing the bible and on missions/workships than all you guys added up.

That is until I opened my eyes to science. That is neither here nor there though. The fact of the matter is its your sandbox and you make the rules. Simple enough and I abide by those.

I too have my own sandbox, I own a popular porn site where freedom of speech is protected and not selectively enforced.

So far none has merged porn and car forums into one place, until last year I will not post the site in this thread due to some rule somewhere here that I am sure forbids it. [sm=ttiwwp.gif] Sorry LEAR my ADD got the best of me in your rule postings so I skipped them.

Anyway when is the damn Challenger coming out ??

The problem with that statement is that our feeble minds want to bound God and explain him with science.

The problem with that is God is so immense he is not bound by the same laws and physics of science that we live in.

Remember he created the universe that has laws of science in it but he is not bound by them.

We as humans are trying to put him in a bottle.

I like what Einstein said once: The more I know, the more I realize what I do not know.

I am sorry to hear about your friend, Erik. But if those (8+ years) of "bible exposure" taught you anything is that God cares very little experience or talent. He always seems to choose the least qualified. Besides faith is more important than works to God.

"Without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. (Hebrews 11: 5-7)

As for the pic, I didn't see it and it probably would not have bothered me if it was still on here. Admin removed because he deemed it unacceptable and he judgments are pretty fair.

I did not remove that post due to any religious or moral belief.

it was removed because i dont want posting his ravings about sex with possibly underage girls on my site.

on the chance that the little whore is under the age of 18, it could come back on the site.

and before anyone questions my calling her a whore..any girl who would send naked pictures of herself to a married man is obviously nothing but a whore, and she should be treated accordingly. the sad part is that erik obviously has no respect for his wife, and on the off chance that anything that he says is true, i would gladly return that thread if it would help his wife in the divorce prodceedings.

even from the standpoint of someone like myself, who is not at all a devout religious man, erik is either a child with a vivid imagination, a liar, or someone spending his life trying to compensate for something in his past..either way, he wont be doing so here anymore.

luckily, he was foolish enough to use his work email address to join this site, so if the problem continues, i will see what his employers think about his actions and discussions.
