Discussing religion on local forum...
I was attempting to respond to someone regarding the authenticity of Josphus's Testimonium Flavianum regarding jeebus and how the evidence of a forgery is very apparent in the writing.

I have tried twice and the damn forum tells me I have some 'trigger words' in my response and that it will have to be reviewed by the moderator! WTF!? no cursing or derogatory statements, just point out the obvious to someones otherwise uneducated herd mentality.

I think I am being censored, call me paranoid, but I think that is what is happening.

The forum is on www.tribstar.com

1. Maybe you could copy here what you were trying to post there?
I'd be interested to see what it might be getting tripped up on.

2. Ok...
-- I had tried twice and it was dissed. Now, all of a sudden I have been blocked from posting any replies in the forum at all by my so-called employer. WTF?

There is no point in even worrying about now, unless some of you guys were willing to take over for me in that forum? FUGWB is me, here is some of the conversation.

"Originally posted by FUGWB:
Rev. Pike is a fearmonger and a consipracy nut.

Under the Hate Crime Bill you will not beable to use your religion as a weapon to encourage hatemongering and violence.

"New Testament record that the Jews had Christ crucified is "classical anti-Semitism" -- a historic form of hate" It is not historic, because there is no evidence that the event ever occured; or that christ actually existed for that matter.

The Josephus paragraph has been found to be a fraud and outside of the New Testament there is no historian record before, during or after the supposed time of jesus's life. You would think that if such a remarkable person really lived in the grandeurs and Awe that is professed, that the Egyptians, Persians or even the Romans would have left some record of that. But they did not.

Those civilizations were meticulous record keepers.

Oh, I got of subject... Smiler."

"Sadly, you are wrong. The Josephus account has not been proven to be a fraud. As for meticulous record keeping....
Just look up the criticisms of the Biblical record of the Hittites..then you'll get a better handle on who is the better record keeper."

That is what I was going to respond too and with facts about the evidence against the authenticity of Josephus's jeebus paragraph, siting that it is most obvious that he did not write the paragraphs and that they had been inserted by Eusebius. My was using Wiki to site sources too with links.

And then there is this type of retardation I have to deal with, they get a tickle about taking things out of context and then think of themselves as clever;

FUGWB finally gets it! He understands! His signature says

quote:
"Guilt, Fear, Mass Insanity:
three cheers for Christianity."

Yes! He finally understands the ONLY solution for guilt, fear, and mass insanity is Christianity."

I come to DU everyday while at work, several times a shift with no issue. I start rebutting religion and all of a sudden I am denied. Conspiracy? I think so.

3. Yeah, that doesn't make any sense.
No terms that wouldn't have been used by others in the discussion, that's for sure.

It definitely does sound like someone is censoring you.
