Alex, I suspect the answer to that is generally, No. I think they were tolerant of me because they might have realised that I would shut up. They happened to be right. Plus, they realised they could shut me up if I stepped out of line even slightly. I chose not to. I wouldn't try it, if I were you.

We're allowed to completely circumvent our bans with alts?

No.

Did you and the other censors arrange a special agreement for Yonah/Yaakov, then?

Yaakov was banned again on Oct. 4th. He registered as Yonah the same day and continued posting.

Indeed, as there was no ban imposed on Yonah. What did he circumvent, exactly?

Yaakov was banned. Whoever is in control of Yaakov created Yonah to circumvent the ban on his original account. Are you trying to say that Yaakov and Yonah are not the same person??  ???

The plot thickens.

I thought the purpose of a ban was to keep a particular person from posting for a certain amount of time, not a particular account.

In short, Yaakov makes up 75% of the this entire forum's discussions. If he was banned this whole place would cease to function. You guys made the right choice.

Yaakov, why do you think theists gets so offended when people offend their religion, when literally no one gives a crap when theists offends atheism?

Because there's about 1 atheist (not non-religious) to every 10 theists in pretty much every country around the world.

Um, no. A lot of European countries are 50%+ atheist.

Atheist or non-religious? Regardless, everyone knows America is the whole world, eurofag.

Atheistic religions aren't particularly common in Europe, so I don't know why you're asking.

BEARDO, it really depends on where you live, and what kind of theist you are. If you live in say, Pakistan, and you're a Catholic, you'd better not get offended at anything, or you will rapidly be told to shut the fuck up and do what your told by the Muslim majority, and if you don't like it, you will go bye-bye real quick. If you live in Ireland, and you are a Jew, you won't go bye-bye, but if you make your objections known too loudly, you will experience considerable social pressure to conform by shutting the fuck up.

If you live in Estonia, which is one of the most atheist countries in the world, nobody really gives a flaming fuck who says what. And anybody who gets too nasty, irrespective of their beliefs or lack thereof tends to get laughed at. In this country (the US), most Americans are theistic. We also have the highest "church" attendance of any Western nation in the world. I put the word "church" in quotes because I mean churches, temples, synagogues, etc. 86% of our population claims to be Christian. 46% attends a house of worship of some sort 2 times a month or more. In an environment like that, being an atheist is not likely to be easy, except in certain environments, like college campuses, which are known for their liberalism. I think you get my point.

Are you implying that if someone is non-religious, they have to be atheist?

It's an important distinction, I'm sure many people here identify as non-religious but not atheist. Sometimes they're still counted a Christian despite not practicing/believing.
