Problem (benefit) on this forum is, the edit time is limited, so past posts can't be tampered with. And what we have seen has been contrary to what Linear has told us....things do not add up. And you guys have also used his "Christianity" all this time to hit against us a number of times on here, as though that in itself should soften us to buy into the theory. It's the only time any of you seem to suddenly take the faith "seriously" - which is rather sickening considering the ongoing contempt and sarcasm towards it the rest of the time isn't it? Even around Linear, none of you are the least bit concerned of offending his Christian beliefs. How interesting. He doesn't seem bothered either....
Should I be bothered by what they say? Shouldn't I be looking at what they say and analyzing whether it points out failures of particular Christians or if it points out failures of the basic Christian theology? Most of the time they are disagreeing with the literal interpretation of particular parts of the Bible. I disagree with that same interpretation in most cases, so how does that insult me or my beliefs? Then again, if you have a particular insult that they have stated and you feel I should have responded angrily to, please point it out.

Again, I cannot state for sure what's in someone's heart, only God can. That's between Linear and God. But I think Russ, as the owner, has a right to find out if a member is playing games on the forum. Using a person's faith to arouse sympathy to the evolution theory is sadly not uncommon and I would hope Linear isn't part of this.
My faith is not related to evolution's truth or falseness. I agree that Russ has the right to find out if a member is playing games. I would, however, appreciate being told which forum guideline I am being investigated under.

People do indeed get banned for false pretenses on forums. Manipulation games etc.
You mean like not answering direct questions and posting purposeful misinterpretations and misleading information?
