VEGHATERMEATLOVER Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 I'm sorry if this is breaking forum rules but this thread says nothing controversial. What is with these zealots in runescape! I entered a clan chat. Said hi, there seemed to be a discussion going on. It seemed to be about religion. Now one person was making tons of points about how religion was true. I said to him,what evidence do you have and he started A flame war. I don't understand why people cant debate instead of arguing. The diffrence is you repsect other peoples opinions. Also ignoring him didn't work as everyone else else was arguing, i'm sick of people who start being rude to you I'm runescape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Gabe Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 It's the internet. If you want a debate, join your local debate team. Three months banishment to 9gag is something i would never wish upon anybody, not even my worst enemy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bauke Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 And if you want a debate on the internet, definitely don't try Runescape. But then again I wouldn't pick religious people to debate with.

Kiriyama Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 We have no proof that either proves the exsistance, or disproves the exsistance of a higher diety. You started an arguement you cannot end. You are the one at fault. Denizen of Darkness| PSN= sworddude198 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacTise69 Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 There's tons of evidence for a higher power or diety that created and drives the universe...but this is getting off the topic of the OP so ill let it be for now \ Trolling by giving good advice since April 2011.

Omali Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 DON'T TURN THIS THREAD INTO A RELIGION DISCUSSION Every topic online is bound to start a flame war as the instant someone voices an opinion, all of the idiots come out of the woodwork to fire off every talking point they have in their belt. Religion just happens to have a lot of idiots, on all sides, and is a subject matter that is so personal that its flammability is literally off the charts. There's a time and place for religious debate. Runescape isn't that place. And I'll reiterate for effect: DON'T TURN THIS THREAD INTO A RELIGION DISCUSSION Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotoriousPSC Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 I'm a religious man, and yet I also am willing to rationally discuss my faith. Please don't form an opinion about an entire religion based on a few radicals who have voices.

tintdawg Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Rule of thumb, don't think you can ever have a serious discussion with random players you meet on runescape, 90% of the time it will turn into a flame war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walka92 Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 There's tons of evidence for a higher power or diety that created and drives the universe...but this is getting off the topic of the OP so ill let it be for now \ actually there isnt. there isnt a single thing that religion explains that science doesnt ontopic: its runescape. take noone seriously. take nothing seriously I'm gonna be walking down an alley in varrock, and walka is going to walk up to me in a trench coat and say "psst.. hey man, wanna buy some sara brew"walka92- retired with 99 in attack, strength, defence, health, magic, ranged, prayer and herblore and 137 combat. some day i may return to claim 138 combat, but alas, that time has not yet come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This game is filled with kids who haven't reached intellectual maturity yet, it's not surprising that you will sometime argue with bad apples. Ohhh and to everyone on this thread who claim he started the flame war by asking for evidence... shame on you!

Sir_Kurity Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 I donno. How did the universe start... The big bang can't have suddenly warped into existence. But then... Where did god come from? :thumbsup: O.O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quelmotz Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Honestly, its the internet. People will resort to flaming if their "evidence" in questioned or they have no suitable reply. And really, religion and stuff are all very touchy matters, so don't type anything that might be offensive to a highly religious person. It could start racial riots and stuff.

It's all about perspective, I'm an atheist and I could say that all mention of gods is offensive to me. I wouldn't because I actually enjoy seeing religious people trying to convert me.

Considering that the flame war started after he asked according to him... He may be more guilty of baiting it.

If the discussion was going well before he entered, what did he think he would accomplish by saying that out of the blue? What's the point of a discussion if you can't ask question? I know freedom of speech is not a high priority in a lot of religion, call me foolish or whatever, but I do believe in it.
