I totally got banned from RR after like two hours.

[esel]

I was doing some research on the level of stupidity that occurs on a forum devoted to the worship and study of the bible. I was promptly removed from their ranks after doing oh-so-little.

A moderator on RR actually turned my avatar into a picture of a troll with the caption "Troll" next to it because I posted something in defense of Obama.

I was also "hated on" by "Christians" for posting information that proves that within the christian religion even those whom have followed "Christ" their entire lives will suffer the seven tribulations. These dumb christians today don't even understand their own religion. They are just poorly motivated, undereducated, wankers looking for an easy way out of this "horrible life" that we live.

They have a whole section devoted to Current events and their relation to prophecies in the bible and all these morons post in there are threads about how Obama uses teleprompters in his speeches.

I'm fairly certain I actually got banned for posting a link to a times magazine article explaining that Obama does in fact write his own speeches.

These people are laughable. When I hear anything regarding the bible my insides curdle and I probably get a look of disgust on my face.

What do you expect? You talked about a heretic in a positive light on a cult board.

Ok, jokes aside, RR is pretty much only for those who are either A) Christians who believe their book (fundie level optional), or B) are excellent at obfuscating their real beliefs.

Personally, quite a few of those people on there are actually at least somewhat agreeable, but there are always those nagging dickheads who get all up in arms the moment someone says something they don't like. It's those dickheads, assholes, jackoffs, and general scum that make RR a hell for anyone who didn't get their own special brand of frontal lobotomy.

R.R. RULE #4: You must worship the GOP.
[04] Defend the Faith and God's infallible Word, not the ways of the world, homosexuality, liberalism, socialism, false translations, false theologies, Mysticism, or deceptive cults and other heresies.

R.R. RULE #13: We really mean it, we even made it redundant!
[13] No Liberal Left Wing Political Agendas, Pacifism, Socialism, Tax Dodging, Anti-American Conspiracies, Anti-War Propaganda, or that the United States is Israel or Mystery Babylon.

I was also "hated on" by "Christians" for posting information that proves that within the christian religion even those whom have followed "Christ" their entire lives will suffer the seven tribulations.

R.R. RULE #15: Pre-trib only, this means you!
[15] No promotion of Mid, Post Tribulation, Prewrath, Preterism, or Replacement theology. This board is traditional Pre-Tribulation Rapture, Pre 6 Seals, Pre 70th week, and Pre-Millennial Dispensational of End Times Prophecy.



Actually if you read all their rules you can hardly post anything and stay within them. All they want there is a bunch of bobbleheads that just nod along with anything that is said. You'll notice that many of their members break some of the rules quite often but are never called on it. It seems as though some rules are only there to justify banning anyone who attempts to speak rationally.


[edit: You also broke the rule on outside links by linking to Time...I won't post that one but it says something about outside links needing approval of the Mods or some shit like that.]

You also broke their most sacred rule which states that no-one should ever, ever, under any circumstances say anything positive about or defend Obama. Ever.

Even if someone says he's secretly gay, Michelle is actually a man, they purchased their children from child snatchers, he created the swine flue, he secretly likes to eat the still-beating hearts of virgins, and Hitler did not in fact commit suicide but instead shaved off the moustache, botoxed himself, painted himself brown and got himself elected as the POTUS, remember, you must never, EVER defend him, because he is the EVIL ONE.

Actually, (A) isn't true. The raptards claim to believe their own book, but they are very selective about the bits they take literally. They ignore large sections of it in favour of a few verses, which they interpret very badly to mean that they are too special to die and will instead be whisked away to heaven to an eternity of ecstacy while the rest of the world suffers.

Agree.
