It's also about you (yet again) ramming your religious beliefs down our throats for which you ought to be banned under the advertising clause.

Isn’t organised religion in general morally disgusting and completely undermines its own belief sets. They take what’s the idea of faith and destiny, throw in a higher power and build around it a set of moral guidelines. All of these things are perfectly fine but then they proceed to scare people into also holding these beliefs often in ways that are against the moral guidelines of their religion. Then if people do something that doesn’t fit in with their faith they start to attack the very right to choice that allows them to choose to follow the religion they do in an attempt to impose their belief set onto others. In some cases they will even turn to violence and even ‘murder’ to impose their views further. Seeing as the majority of religions have peace, acceptance and forgiveness at the centre of their moral beliefs it becomes highly hypocritical and undermines themselves
As for banning him, as much as I hate organised religion because of them trying to force their intolerances, their hypocrisy and their beliefs onto others all he’s peddling is his opinion and his beliefs. If we start banning people for that then anyone posting on any thread on these forums needs banned. Anyway I would hope most people here will be smart enough to come up with their own feelings on beliefs without being swayed by his postings.
