Application of warnings or bans will be subject to moderator discretion. Feel free to appeal. If changes to the guidelines are necessary, they will be adjusted.


If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a group that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of any other group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you you will be banned on sight.

Provable means able to provide proof to the moderation, and, if necessary, to the community.

As I said in the other post- people who say they need a god to tell them what is good and what is evil terrify me because they might decide one day that their god says to rise up and kill.

Bingo. It’s the same reason fascists need hypocrisy.

How else will they justify to their loyal followers that they too won’t be harmed like they harm “the other guy”

Religious people need to be told there would be chaos without their religion. Otherwise how else would they hold followers when they learn that morals are culturally created, and are by no means objective reality.
