Rules for Comments

LINKS?

We do not publish ANY links which do not have reasons for going to the link.

You should give your evidence to support your idea and then show a link which backs you up. But just putting in a link and saying "go here to see what I mean".

We do not publish ad hominem attacks, insults, insulting labels or stereotypes. In seeking truth, one does not find it by these immature and primitive methods.

A Common Method of Presenting Evidence

1. State your opinion

2. State your reason

3. Give any specific references you wish which support your point of view. Example of insulting ad hominem attack statement. "Atheists are all hypocrites and use insults when they cannot be present indisputable evidence."

What is wrong? 1. You do not know all atheists and therefore cannot make any statements about all of them.

You could say something like, "The atheists I have had discussions with criticize others and yet do the same things they criticize others for." "Most atheists whose comments I read stereotype all people who believe in Christianity, Judaism or any other form of religion except their own Atheist religion". 2. Calling people names is an ad hominem attack. 3. Putting all people of one group together and making statements about them is a stereotype.

Sound argument is backed by evidence not throwing insults which are like "supposed adults" throwing stones at someone like a kid would.

Email Required

I have chosen to require a Google account. This is to help prevent mindless comments which need not be considered by those who have one.

I promise I will keep your personal information secret and only use it for purpose of communicating with YOU personally. If what you have to say is important then you should have no objection. If it is a haphazard comment, then perhaps it does not deserve to be published anyway.

Not to discourage but we need to be able to tell you directly why your comment was not published so you can bring it up to the acceptable standards for this site.

Flaming is not allowed. Emotional baggage should be left at home or on the psychiatrists couch. If you cannot speak civilly without it, then perhaps look into fixing that first and come back. We are not referring to mild teasing.

Comments with no evidence that require me to simply believe in the faith of you saying it will NOT be published. Anyone can have their opinion but we are looking for facts when we discuss factual topics such as atheism and ID.

Flaming includes insults, sarcasm, and resorting to emotional outbursts to avoid answering a point. There can be no reasonable discussion with someone who has a flamethrower aimed at you (:-)

I will NOT as Dawkins.net does, reject your comment simply because you disagree. However REASONS must be given for your disagreement. Don't make me take a leap of faith to believe you unless of course your name is Yeshua of 1st century fame.

Yes we value your comments provided they are civil. If the Google thing does not require an email address I will require registration so I can communicate with you.

Thank you! Have a great day and I hope to hear from you!
