So this is now a science board? I don't think so. Unless an attempt is made to tie in religion this does not belong on this board. Then we'll have to agree to disagree, sir. I guess.

Since you have given no thoughts of your own about this article, I have to wonder why you posted it at all? It clearly is on the wrong board as it has nothing to do with religion or spirituality. Why not post this on a board about science and technical matters? He's under the mistaken impression that casting doubt on science shores up religion. He appears to even lack the honesty to make sure case for that...which might be just as well as he would fail miserably at such an attempt.

This is off-topic and does not belong on this board. However, I find the attempt of predicting poor published scientific articles through using statistical formulas to be pointless.

You go on an on about Muslims being violent and dangerous, then you make a post about how great Christianity is, and it features a blood covered guy wearing a cross who is about to kill someone.
In a war of Christian aggression.
You have no sense of irony, do you?
Don’t waste my time with red herrings. The image isn’t really related to the content. Watch the videos and respond or STFU you pathetic little leftist cuck. The pictures are all I have to go on. I don't watch videos unless somebody has made a case that they are worth the time. You made no case at all which is being intellectually lazy at best.
By the way, your attack on a poster that offered respectful comments is what I would term "conduct unbecoming a Christian." Do you feel closer to Christ when you ignore His teachings in this way?

Is "Black Panther" (2018) a Blaxploitation movie? It is too politically correct. Don't dare put 'black', or some derivative reference to it and 'exploitation' in the same word description today, millennials don't have much of a sense of humor. I see.

How has this thread not been shut down? Where are the forum police? And what is wrong with this thread?

The original source is inaccurate. Some statements are not correct:
"But why are these pictures released to the Thai public on the internet?"
They weren't. They came to light through Wikileaks.
"It is hard to guess what goes on in Wachiralongkorn’s depraved mind. He is so alienated that he does not know how to respect anyone. The release of these pictures is not an accident. They have been coming out at regular intervals for years. Maybe he wants to destroy their dignity and show that he is boss. Maybe he wants to show off that he can “pull” beautiful women...."
No, such pictures have not been coming out at regular intervals for years and nobody else thinks the video was intentionally made public. The Thai government got it removed from youtube.

or restricted on here and people would have to post using...you know...language! I realise that some posters would lose 90% of their content, however hopefully the discussions on the Boards would be improved. I don't mind YouTube vids that are film clips, music, comedy routines or historical and factual documentary content however it would be no loss to remove all the conspiracy theory crapola and the blatant propaganda. I mean anyone can post anything on YouTube and some schmuck will believe it! Occasionally a good vid or more likely an article can lead a discussion however the quantity of bigoted conspiracy theory propaganda and claptrap, that is posted here, we could certainly do without. IMHO. Yes, I know I don't have to click on them, so mostly... I don't. I have posted on message boards where just posting a video with no explanation why it is being linked is against the forum rules and anybody that posts these finds they are removed. I think in general this is a good idea, especially if the post is made to start a thread. Just posting a link to a youtube video with no explanation of the purpose in doing so is a very poor practice and basically is just spamming the board. This really becomes the case if the videos promote conspiracy theories or are propaganda for one cause or another. I make it a general practice of not participating in threads started in this manner.
Posting a video with a single word such as "Thoughts?" does not make for a valid OP in my opinion. If the one starting a thread does not begin with their own thoughts it shows that they either have no thoughts on the content of the video, perhaps lacking the intellectual capacity to formulate them, or they are unwilling to share them for one reason or another. I think at times the motivation is to stir up trouble but maintain plausible deniability. The poster thinks they can just say, "Hey, that isn't what I think, it is just the guy in the video making that claim."
I admit that I have posted videos with no explanation as later comments in a thread that already has many responses. I had a point in doing so, to be inane and bereft of any intellectual activity to point out that the comments in an opposing thread were inane and lacking in any intellectual content. In other words my posts were a parody, but they have been confined to one thread on a different board and most importantly were not the OP.

"MAGA Christians’ daily existence testifies that their God is a microscopic, myopic coward, who has appointed them to morally police a world He cannot handle or is not equipped to direct and renovate. That’s pretty sad. "MAGA Christians believe in God earnestly, pray to God passionately, serve God with unflinching fervor. The problem is their God is too small, and as long as they are oriented toward such a tiny, useless deity—they will continue to be compelled to do for God what they believe God should be doing, but can’t or won’t." As discussed in the link below. link^^Not a leftist apparently LOL It appears you have no comeback at all once again, so instead of attempting to make a comment that is rational or intelligent you again fall back on your standard cop-out...."LOL"

Trust me, nobody in Thailand considers the king to be a deity. Do you still live in Thailand? Yes.

My favorite Corman is "Roger Corman's Frankenstien Unbound" (1990) but which probably doesn't belong on this thread because of how very, very close it comes to actually being a good movie. I quite liked that one. I think it was nice he had more of a budget than usual to make it.

There are sects of Christianity that claim the same right. But this is a change in topic. Well I don't understand your point then. It seems like you're saying that if Jews won't let anyone in their temple, they are being non-Jewish or not showing Jewish compassion, and are worshipers of the building itself and not god. My point really had nothing to do with "closed" religions that restrict who can or cannot worship with them. You introduced this into the conversation, which is why I indicated it was off-topic.
I also was not saying I think these people were worshipping synagogues rather than within in them. I was attempting to point out the hypocrisy of those who have claimed Obama and Hillary were saying people were worshpping Easter, rather than on Easter. The term "easter worshippers" and the term "synagogue worshippers" simply are about worshippers that are Christian and Jewish respectively.

Oh come on now, old man. A thread about this? Or am I misunderstanding? Maybe the problem is with me. In journalism they use as few words as possible for headlines. That's why it says "synagogue worshippers" instead of "worshippers in synagogue." Actually my reason in posting this was of course to point out that there was nothing wrong in condensing to the term "synagogue worshippers" as a form of using fewer words....with tongue firmly in cheek. That was one of my points with "Easter worshippers" in a different thread.
