XENOPHONZ, In #62 above you took a snip from my post #60 that said "Opinion: Should NOT play favorites with the TOS - especially with regards to religion :-)" You said in response: "That's it, then. Let's simply get rid of all opinions. Including yours. And including mine. Peace will come. Just like in a cemetery. Only the sound of the wind in the trees. But no beliefs. Oh, no....not that. Someone might be offended. I really don't see how applying the TOS without favoritism gets rid of all opinions. It's the TOS itself that rids us of or restricts our "visual opinions" in our gallery posts. These restrictions are necessary (childporn etc.),but it seems that in "most" other areas there seems to be a vast variety of opinions from members. The TOS, IMO should not favor one side or the other,but should allow for all (except in the cases of childporn etc). Not like a "cemetery",not without beliefs,but with all or most beliefs free to be expressed without favortism or ridicule. A less restrictive TOS, applied evenly would actually provide a larger variety of opinions. --------------------- timefighter in post #66 above you said: "TORTURE" The crucifixion of Christ was "NOT" torture, it was a "DEATH SENTENCE" period!!! Now the rest of it (to punish, coerce, or afford sadistic pleasure)No one punished Christ, no one coerced Christ, and no one Crucified Him for their own sadistic pleasure. It was the LAW!! He died at the hands of Pilate. Please stop quoting the TOS in regards to this image...IT DOES NOT APPLY!!!!" ---- As a person who spent 19 years as a fundy Christian Pastor,I know that their are many different ways of interrpreting the crucifixion and you probably are aware of this to. I know many Christian pastors who would agree that it was a death sentence, I don't know any that would say it wasn't torture or punishment for percieved wrong doing. And you don't really know if anyone Crucified Him for their own sadistic pleasure or not. In my opinion the TOS does apply :-)
