Petition to ban all church related threads from AH

sdanseo

As above. Vote with your index digits, people.

sollar

I'm not for a ban, too much to talk about re the church

Agricola

No way. Never miss an opportunity to bash the bishop.

I am. Nothing we haven't heard before.

The Volt

Free speech etc

landsleaving

Take your thread to Christianity would ya?

sdanseo

Ah here, I'm sick of it. If it's not a recession thread it's one about a fiddling priest. Sick of it at this stage. (And yes Im fully aware I've kinda just started one, yes you're clever for figuring it out, move on.)

We all know that some priests are well deserving of a trip to hell, but we dont need a million threads a day about it.

What would Jesus do?

I'M CLEVER!!!

YAY!!

Kiera

You know you dont have to click on those threads, right?

Wolfe Tone

Just fcuk it all into a superthread

Vicxas

Not really bothered, but hate to see anything banned from AH, well stuff thats actually acceptable.

KeithAFC

I think it is rather important the AH users discuss Catholic priests abusing young kids and then the pope covering it up. Perhaps that is just me.

iPlop

Ban the atheist threads too and you've got a deal.

Chuck Stone

No you.

Ban OP.

sdanseo

A megathread would do the trick. Could a mod edit the poll (if ye actually listen to those things when making such decisions)

Kevin Duffy

Freedom of speech and freedom of reading - don't like, don't click, feel free to start better if you don't like what's there.

Rabies

Church, government, banks, social welfare, health care, immigration/emigration

What is left for AH?

CreepingDeath

No.

If people want to talk about it, vent their anger and opinions let them.
The fact that the OP doesn't want to hear it, means they have unresolved issues with the subject.

tricky D

It's very simple OP.

You don't likey, don't clicky.

MungBean

Someone should start a thread about banning threads started by people who want threads banned. That'll fix the problem.

efb

Sure if we all ignore it it will just go away...

Where did I hear that before...

My name is URL

I like the sound of Atari Pope.

All hail Pope Pong I

Aldebaran

If only we weren't forced to click on every single thread that appears in AH... oh wait.

Tehachapi

The church has silenced people for decades, not any more though. I think it would be an insult to the victims who suffered beatings, sexual assault, rape, psychological torture, etc at the hands of the church by banning discussion of the church on a huge media outlet such as boards.ie

Surely the simplest solution would be to get the mods to ban everyone ?

Then start banning each other.

Last mod standing wins !

Banned








:pac:

Scuid Mhór

can we maybe just... perhaps have a stronger movement towards making happy, light-hearted threads?

Latchy

Ban church related threads ? why stop there ...just ban all threads on any subject = No

sdanseo

I'll be honest - never thought of a megathread, with that in mind perhaps this particular thread was a little misjudged. Have requested it be locked.

Ahh, hindsight. Good stuff so tis.

krudler

I have this crazy affliction where I dont click into threads I'm not interested in, its mental really

F*ck the pope!

So you've started it just so you can end it .That's abuse :pac:

It's boards democracy as we know it OP ,like we can get tired of a thread this week but might find it interesting ( or some of it ) next week .

The church is deserving of all the abuse it receives here on After Hours.

partyatmygaff

Why not just have a megathread? At least then the people with the clichéd rants and the "fidei defensors" of boards if you will can have their own dedicated battlefield.

Why would you say that?

stimpson

I find the Christianity forum just isn't judgemental enough so a big no from me.

And no to a megathread too. I want lots of microthreads.

Really. When last did a taoiseach last stop cap twisting and for lock tugging long enough to tell The Church to stick its 'special relationship' up its... aisle... and stop interfering in our matters?
When?

No worrys . OP's really a seekcrit church related thread anorack

Knight who says Meh

But but but where would all the Catholic Apologists get to use the line "Dont tar them all with the same brush".?

Biggins

Is it just me or are there more threads giving out on boards.ie, about supposed atheists starting up threads - than there actually is threads started up by atheists?
I mean, there is a lot of baptised people actually out there on boards.ie who have started religious threads I assume!
Probably 'cos they are just as pissed off - if not more so - 'cos of something they are in, has gone so wrong!

...Of course its just cheap, lazy and easy to blame it all on the atheists!
Sure its another way of putting them down by the constant tainting of them with that wide tar brush again!

pragmatic1

The topic is old but they deserve to be berated for what they done.

Latchy

Pity it's took so long for ' some ' people in Ireland to wake up although I'm sure there's quite a few Rip Van Winkles out there still .

Probably just you. The number of "giving out about Atheists giving out" threads can probably be counted on one hand but the number of "Atheists giving out" threads are more than likely far higher.

Sure its another way of putting them down by the constant tainting of them with that wide tar brush again!

Yes, of course. It's the atheists who are having generalisations made against them and who are being "persecuted" on boards. They're the ones being "Put down" by the big nasty "wide tar brush" of AH alright. :rolleyes:

Dont tar all thread starter with the same brush. There are perfectly good thread starters out there and they are entitled to their disbelief or belief. This is a fine country founded by neolithic Pagans and we would have no New Grange if not for them. Start your own New Grange if you dont like it.....

Pssssssssssssst. Giving out about a very powerful cult/ institution which covers up child rape does not = Atheist.
Its = being aware and decent....

I was talking about "Religion/God" threads in general. That's what these threads generally descend in to anyway.

Had you actually read Biggins' post properly instead of purposefully misreading it to try and get in a dig at me you would have noticed he used the word "Atheists". He did not mention any specific church. Don't let any of that get in the way of getting out a nice thanks-harvesting post though.

Might I remind everyone that boards already has a forum under the religion and spirituality category where Catholicism is the main topic of conversation.
