Whats with the Avatar Steve n Jinky?

[Heracles 417]

Hence, why I specifically targeted Steve who I have butted heads with from day one..

i'm sure you have made all christians on the board proud tonight with your deception!! good on ya .... maybe try giving direct honesty a shot sometime! although, that may be a bit above your head since you sidestepped my last response in this thread!

Come on now, you don't need to turn it around and turn it into deception.. Irrespective of the motive, the fact is that I made a statement about another person deliberately offending one's beliefs and I was jumped on and attacked. The evidence is posted throughout this topic.

It was a game. I knew if I pushed the right buttons I would provoke a reaction causing certain people to show their true feelings..

Oh as if. So what if you can trick a bunch of people? You think this proves your cleverness? Your innate Greek Australian superiority? Of *course* it's easy to get a reaction. Do you notice that it's only people who don't know your odious history that fall for your silly games? Maybe this explain why you played so well in the rural Midwest? Fish big, pond little?

I'd really have thought you'd have found a bigger forum to annoy by now. The pickins here are a bit slim for one as full of, er, life as you are. pffft

Oh yeah, I already answered my own question.

If someone started a thread entitled "Hitler Was Right" you can predict with some certainty that there would be a "strong reaction". What would it prove though?

Like I implied before, you making broad generalizations on the political and religious beliefs of the people you irritate is unwise and shows a total lack of insight. It's obvious you have a personal gripe. Post whatever you want, I ignore most of it anyway.

Who is the one with a 'personal gripe' here? This 'off topic' forum is littered with anti right wing people who trash one's opposing opinion.

Hence the strong personal insults in this thread alone..

Ok man, I'm done after this. A personal gripe is when you single someone out by name in your posted topic title and then lie and say you are offended by his avatar in order to agitate everyone which you have successfully done. You have also mentioned the person's name repeatedly throughout this thread in your responses so it is obvious you have some issues. Let it go.

Actually Infidel it wasn't because you made a statement that offended ones beliefs, it was because it was so random, and poorly executed that it didn't offend, instead it just appeared as if you were intentionally and irrationally trying to get someone stirred up. You stirred things up but not for the reason you imagined. Instead of inspiring a heated debate over the subject matter you left people thinking....wonder who pi$$ed in his cheerios today.

This is why I love lefties so much. Interestingly enough I actually set you guys up and you fell right into the trap As if i didn't realize that you losers would attack someone for their views and beliefs, especially over some avatar. Come on now...

It was really interesting to see you have a go at a comment stating that the avatar is a religious symbol, which it is. Yet, are quite hypocritical and absolutely criticise the hell out of someone who is pushing religion or disagreeing with bi-sexuals etc..

Mate, that was game, set and match.. B)

PS You are going to have to try better than the cheap comments if your going to offend me for being Christian. You ain't the first and you ain't the last to offend Christians..

If an Avatar is a religious symbol I guess I better go back to the Pentacle for my Pagan beliefs.

Didn't jesus teach tolerence? The first rule of wicca is do what you wish, but harm no one..

Tolerence is the key!

That is not right to say because all I initially posted was a simple question which did not offend or insult or target anyone. I did not even give any opinion..

Who would have thought this would be going on 156 replies and over 2000 views later. It is not right to sit here and turn it around as if I am one to blame.

The fact is that picture is a religious icon for over 240 million people world wide. So to sit here and say I am in the wrong is ludicrous..

I guess when VJ 'elites' like Meauxna and co throw 'personal' insults in that is different, right??

So does the avatar offend you or not? I thought it was just a game...

It's getting hot in here, or are the flames growing higher.

IE EG before some go out throwing insults like these, one should look at how much time I spend in this forum compared to others..

It's not a matter of being offended but rather having someone deliberately disrespect my beliefs..

Was it a game initially, no. Yet once I saw what people were saying I thought maybe I should push the right bottons to get out what people really thought and they did. I just find it low that so many VJ jumped on the bandwagon of attacking one for defending their beliefs, yet claim they are for freedom of speech..

...

Who's defending their beliefs here? More to the point, who's attacking them?

If there's a point here, it needs sharpening...

If your response was to my comment Infidel, you're missing my point. You made it clear that your posts were specifically aimed at one person using religion to try to stir things up. I'm not saying you are wrong, I'm saying you dropped the balled and missed your mark...your carry through was false so no one really saw it as you raising a serious issue, instead you carried it off as if just poking at someone.

From your very first post I knew you weren't really concerned about the religious issue in any other manner than to just poke at someone, it didn't come from the heart.

Had I not seen that straight off, then I would have mentioned a couple of things to dig deaper into why you were offended.

1) That no one really knows what Jesus looked like, that picture is art, and it's an artists conception of what he looked like...you never know though, the conception might be so far from what he really looked like thatf he was standing and looking at it he might be offended ....no one knows.

2) Christians are not supposed to worship any graven images, so honestly do you think Jesus would want you defending a (Possibly way out there false) image someone painted as if it were actually him?

I'll have to sit you down and teach you how to debate things sometime

At first it was a bit of fun. Asking a legitimate question to get an honest answer. I didn't realize people would jump on and start attacking me.. So when I saw people doing that I raised the bar and was shocked to see how low some would stoop to offend me. Then turn around say I am the #######..

Personally if I had a picture on display and someone religious told me it honestly offended them, be it Buddhist, Muslim, Hindu or Jewish, I would remove it.. The thing with steve is I know he deliberately set out to use that picture with no disregard for someone else..

Hey as many would know I disagree with a lot of islamic ideals but I have never ever blatantly insulted a muslim buy using something islamic in a derogatory manner.
