I believe you are one of the smarter Posters here on the Forum, which is why I am astounded at your constant PROMOTION of Religion. A 1,000 years ago, we could all marvel at these men of 'wisdom', living the Bible, telling us all about 'the Word of God', giving us all Guidance into Purity, that Salvation could be had Through the Word of Jesus Christ.
But ... after the Renaissance, Enlightenment took over, Science, Inquiry, Questioning what was.
Now, you promote Thomas More, he objected to King Henry and the issue of Divorce and lost his head over it, now a saint, Saint Thomas More. I believe YOU are on your second marriage (or maybe it's your wife's?), you could become a Saint, Saint Cypress. Do what Thomas More did, live your Faith, request that your head be cut off. Talk the talk and walk the walk, Sir Cypress.

Says the Queen of Gossip.
Do you have any thing to say on the Topic? ... or simply your standard bullshit of jibber jabber?
Like Cypress, you could become Saint Owl. All you have to do is embrace the Faith of Thomas More. Get in line after Cypress and have your head cut off.

Well, maybe you could express those things you feel are 'worthy', rather than just lump a bunch of Christians together and PROMOTE these people as some types of Models for Modern People?
Is getting your head cut off because you don't think someone should get a Divorce part of this?
Something tells me Jack will be getting introduced to Cypress's worthy thread-ban list.

Apparently your forte is gossip about the personal lives of posters you do not know and have never met?
If you are hostile to religion, there is no need for you to patrol the board's religion forum.
I probably post more about science than I do about religion. That does not mean I am promoting anything. If you feel you have nothing to learn from Martin Luther King Jr., Pope Francis, Mother Teresa, or Mahatma Ghandi no one is forcing you to examine their lives and values.
I am interested religion, science, existentialism, Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, Daoism, moral philosophy, intellectual history, post modernism, paganism, et al.
I am not on anyone's team, I post what is interesting to me - and I think on balance my thread contributions are generally of a higher quality than the gossip, racism, petty grudges that which JPP is most infamous for.
I consider my role to improve the quality of discourse on the interwebs!

Cypress: "If you are hostile to religion, there is no need for you to patrol the board's religion forum."
Jack: I support 'science', the opposite of 'religion'. When you, as a smart person, promote Religion, I can only attribute that to 'childhood brainwashing'. I question your reasoning.
Cypress: "I am interested religion, science, existentialism, Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, Daoism, moral philosophy, intellectual history, post modernism, paganism, et al."
Jack: Awesome. Rather than cloak yourself in names of Famous People from the Past, why not articulate what you feel is noteworthy. Like, how many Angels can dance on the head of a Pin?
