Where did the "Anonymous declares war on Scientology" Thread go?

[Zenien]

It won't even show up in my post history, why was it deleted and what grounds were there for it to be deleted.

I was interested in the goings on of the event, and it wasn't breaking any of the rules.

 

[StrainedEyes]

Anonymous deleted it... They can do that, you know.

 

[Malice]

Looking into it.

 

[C. Lee]

I moved it to the trashcan.

After I warned Wilhelm-Scream about his flaming of people because of their expressions of Christian beliefs...he said I would be showing bias if I didn't do anything about the people who were attacking Scientologists for their beliefs. I checked, and there was a thread were people were attacking them...so I closed and moved it.

Discussions and debate on subjects are always wanted and welcome....as long as they don't devolve into disrespectful and mean attacks upon people because they have opinions that differ from yours.

There's a difference between having differing beliefs and being a gullible ****** who gives all your money to a cult based around bad science fiction writing...

the same could be argued about any other religion, but that would be, you know...

you don't have to give the church $200'000 dollars before they let you look at a bible...

You don't?

 

[The Lizard]

OK....

So is there any way to have a thread that follows the continuing activities of "Anonymous" as they protest the policies (not the religious beliefs) of Scientology?

This is kind of a big deal in the online community right now, and it seems a bit silly not to be able to discuss it.

BTW, if we're doing away with all anti-Scientology threads, this one was more controversially-titled than the "Anonymous" thread: http://forums.superherohype.com/showthread.php?t=294534

Plus there's the Tom Cruise mockery threads in the Celebrity forums.

 

[hippy fascist]

Tom cruise deserves mockery

 

[Darthphere]

Not really.

 

[The Lizard]

And another BTW, someone might want to delete this anti-Christian thread, which is still in existence : http://forums.superherohype.com/showthread.php?t=293575


So....time for a separate Religion forum? It's certainly more warranted than a sports forum, I'll say that.

With Wilhelm posting? Yeah right...

I guess Christianity is more deranged and terrifying and dangerous, and Mormonism is more absurd, thilly and ridiculous.

I don't think any of the religious threads should be deleted, personally, but if that's the new SHH policy then let's get rid of ALL of them.

So what you're saying is that Scientology is a religion then.

I read that book.

Yes, there are elements of Scientology beliefs that are religious, because they center on unprovable faith-based concepts like past lives and souls.

Just because Hubbard might have created the religious angle to avoid taxes and medical questions doesn't mean that people don't believe those parts.

HOWEVER - the policies of Scientology that involve lying about the existence of certain beliefs, or harassing critics, or human-rights violations, etc are the true targets of the critics.
I'll admit that it's easy to make fun of the Xenu story, but the fact is that the Scientologists have every right to believe in Xenu, the R6 Implant, the Psych conspiracy or whatever.

Cool - that you did this.

Lame - that I had to b**** for 3 and a half years just to get this token gesture.

The mods actually doing something should be the cause of ticker tape parade.

 

[tzarinna]

Ooo, I love a parade.

Do you have any ticker tape?
