Off-topic board

If we get one, what should it be called? I'm thinking The Blue Board of Death, as a nice Microsoft reference. Talking about that, we should also probably think of names for The Gallery and The News - who wants clear descriptions?

  • It's not a poor comparison at all. He got offened, you are right, because my belief contradicted his, and he couldn't handle it. The reason he gave for offense was that Christ (in my analgoy, Iggy the Magical Elf) has X characteristic, NOT Halo. [quote]That is probably the single most offensive thing have ever seen in my life. [b]The second coming of Christ is the oppisite[/b] of the terrible evil of that day![/quote] The analogy wasn't even vague. It was almost exactly the same, except instead of God it was "Iggy." He took offense under the same premise that I may take offense - direct contradiction of belief. So, though I've calmed down and understand your reasons for closing it, I disagree totally that the analogy is poor. Now for another question: how was it 'risking obvious political and religious contradiction'? I debate at www.christianforums.com all the time, and through and through the topic of the world trade center, I have NEVER heard someone say Christs's Second comming was the antitheses to evil [i]for that day.[/i] The two events won't even be SIMILAR. His belief was abstract and completey shocking - I wouldn't be suprised if the belief was created moments after reading my post. How is it obvious to guard against a belief as random as [i]that[/i]? It'd be like defending against the belief that Iggy the Magical elf has some odd, monopolized characteristic that nothing else can have. Again, I understand you closing it, but I still don't agree with some things.
