speedy 0 #26 January 30, 2006 QuoteWhy should it be deleted? Just because people find the Cross and Jesus Christ offensive???? I started the post so other skydivers would know I was a Christian, and knowing that info I know some would treat me differently, but I don't care. Now, your original post deserves to stay. It's just the 1000's of posts that have nothing to do with your original post that irk me. The posts that contribute nothing but to add another post onto an already humongous thread. It will keep getting re-activated and not because people care one bit about God and being a christian. No, it will get posted to again just to see if it can reach the 5000 post mark. It has outgrown it's usefulness, lost it's cause and is now a tribute to internet tripe. As to finding the cross and Jesus offensive, for me that would be like finding a 12 volt battery charger offensive. However, why kids in schools in Bavaria should be forced to see a man nailed to a cross during their biology lessons is beyond me.

Instead of griping so much about it, perhaps you should take it up with the man in red. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Two things: 1) The majority of posts in that thread have to do with Christianity and other religions. I have read and posted to it since its inception. There are SOME yes, made just to get a higher number of posts, but less than you think. b) If thread drift is your reason for deletion, I think you just called for the deletion of the greater portion of DZ.com. Its not the first thread to drift and it is not the last. Its just the biggest. But thanks for this thread. Metathreads are highly amusing and allow more pointless arguement. Sweet.Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In that case why do we not permit them to watch certain movies, play certain games and see certain images? If they have such psychic strength it shouldn't be a problem.
