Hi mods/admins,

I am not upset someone removed my thread, but I do wonder why. Did I violate the TOU by posting the real facts about christmas? My thread was not about religion per say, it was about the lies regarding christmas; albeit I did mention why I do not capitalize any religious words.

If someone could explain what rule I violated I would be appreciative, thanks and merry "present day" :)

Here is the thread in question:

"The TRUTH about christmas: rape, larceny and human sacrifice!"

Huh? I didn't call it festivas. I wrote about the fact that christmas (Dec 25th) was stolen from the last day of the evil Roman pagan holiday (festival) "Saturnalia", and that jesus wasn't born in December.

We all know Christmas these days is mostly being commercially abused and not what it was initially intended for.

And that's why Christmas Day for me is just like any other day.

Im not a mod and your link is garbage........but I can say a thread created to just cause controversy and a shit storm has no place........the truth is such a subjective word as well....who's truth ? yours ? were you alive in roman times ? didn't think so........then how do you know it's the truth? now now dont stutter........cant go back now .........I asked how you know? So I guess your just taking words from a book.............hmmmmmmm sounds just like what the other side dose..........personally I believe in the spirit of christmass the sharing and good will not really what the bible says about it....I know the message is one of love and for you to mock it makes you a scumbag in my eyes.......

Spurr, I had a thread in the religious forum that ran past 200+ pages... and then they shit-canned the whole FORUM. (Lots of posts in there I wish I could've saved.)

I love this sort of discussion. So much fun. Probably chews a lot of bandwidth though.

Wow, I don't know where to start, assumptions galore! If the mods/admins see fit to un-bin my thread you will have the answers you seek. I am not about to post the same info here that got the other thread binned. If the mods/admins do not un-bin my thread I will PM you info so your eyes can be opened, and you can stop making all those assumptions.

obviously you dont understand my point at all.....lets see if I can simplify it for you again.............
I dont need the copy and pasted words that you read somewhere to enlighten me to anything your whole new thread title says it all.........you choose where you get your info Ill choose where I get mine........who is to say what the "truth" is certainly not you or certainly not I.........so believe what you want, I believe you intenionally started the thread because your miserable and misery loves company.........and delibertly post your anti christmas propaganda just to start trouble and spread bad vibes..........and that offends me.........is that a simple enough truth for you? it also offends me that you assume I am not familar with PAGAN theroys.............

I know how you feel about this Christmas business,getting depressed and all that. It happens to me every year. I never get what I really want. I always get a lot of stupid toys or a bike or clothes or something like that.

in other words........I have no answers KW.........you mean you really dont understand why your propaganda thread got binned? it's because of the kind of heated debates that ensue from your orginal topic.........they are not usefull and just wind up with a bunch of people insulting each other..........like I started out doing.......glad I caught my better sense............now Im atempting to educate you without any personal objective at all......
threads that cause controversy often get banned.It's awfull presumptious to assume that these topics have not been disscussed before, and you are the bringer of a higher truth......Im sure now judging by your manners that perhaps you only wanted to post a thread that sparked a healthy intrest and civil debate.......unfortunatley those things are near impossible to acheive.......So I'm sorry if I offended you I was just making my point..........
