Pardon me, but your bias is showing, Andrew.

VCI has no tolerance for religion bashing and the other side of that coin is proselytizing.

Whether or not Armelius took offense is not the MAIN issue. We are all well aware that Armelius comes to the religion forum and, as is his right, rejects out of hand the concept of a higher being.

The MAIN problem on this particular site and this particular forum are the Gang For God members who feel they possess a superior right to promote their agenda and at the cost of everyone else's right to disagree or take issue with that agenda. Be advised that the insertion of high praise for "God" in those posts does not make junior anyone else's posts of a differing point of view.

You people are free to subit all the glory hallelujahs and "SAY JESUS!" posts you want. However,you will refrain from any attempt to convert other member(s). If you feel the urge to purge someone of their "demons" then get their email addy and do it in private. This is not the Church of Russia.com.

And BTW: No more below the belt insults. Praise God all you want but do not EVER use it again as a free pass to throw cheap insults and/or highly personal, negative innuendos.

woah -Nique

You'd need to help me on THAT one - I didn't realise I had it in me

And I suppose you think that all the name-throwing, assumptive comments in your last post were perfectly OK ??

Well - that's where we will have to differ. As far as I am concerned, whilst I take your point and understand it, I think you are using your position of power to take unfair advantage.

ie: too much 'Niquie' and not enough 'fair Admin'

Fair Admin?

Are you joking? Before I arrived here you Gang For God people ran this particular board as your own private church. Your insults were both profound and extremely hurtful.

Well, no more. I just leveled the playing field.

It sounds as though you're moderating based on your own personal agenda rather than the rules of the forum. Show us where it says one can't proselytize.

Excuse me andrew?

I am "Orthodox"?
Yes, i am a Moderator and as a Moderator, i will monitor "Jesus Freaks" who come to a forum knowing it represents Russia, it's people and it's beliefs,
but otherwise proselytize everyone else according to your beliefs.
This is not only highly disrespectful, but also downright desperate and hypocritical.

When in the Religion Board of russia.com, you will learn to respect and not try to destroy their cultural foundations and beliefs by caling them "mambo-jumbo", "un-Christian" or "un-Biblical" or twist Scriptures to proselytize the many Guests who seek to find out to learn about Orthodoxy, Catholicism or Islam or Judaism - the 4 main religions in Russia.

And oh, you could help your friends CS and Imagine to drop their "Christian" acts,
because it is not only getting sickening but also boring.
That would indeed be very unbias of you if you could do so -
and if they refuse, we could always bring out a pram, shove
a pacifier into their mouths and show them the exit out of this place they called "church".
Perhaps an orphanage would take their poor souls in.

I am the VCI administrator -- and it is VCI's agenda I am pushing. Members are guests here, they are not the owners. I meet with the owner of this site. I know what is allowed and what isn't. And if I say no attempts at conversion, I mean just that.

Do you understand this?
