The glaring rejoinder to that is:  why do you post there?  Or here, for that matter?

Presumably because she enjoys it, as I assume the rest of us do.

Enjoy reading and posting with American fundamentalists?

I'm staggered by how many Christian groups mostly in the USA are taking gay marriage as a sign of the end times and how many Muslims in a variety of places seem to be doing the same thing but using it to validate the Koran and both appear to be using it to justify the said destruction.

Even assuming both sets of writings are complete rubbish isn't it worrying that both groups have so many followers that are using it among other things to justify all sorts of violence and seeing it as a beginning of the end of the world, which they all appear to want.

I think I have read to much extremist crap lately  >:(

Time to put it away and have a break, perhaps.?
Clearly a country with 320-odd million people is going to have its greater share of dingbat loony-tunes fruit loops as opposed to Britain's population which is a fifth of that number, but the sheer poisonous bile and swivel-eyed, spittle-flecked nutbaggery on sites such as Fox News and, far, far worse, Wing Nut Daily World Net Daily is something that you just don't see over here. Or I don't, anyway. Comments made by various religious individuals and bodies after Ireland's endorsement of equal marriage the other week were as silly, tiresome and as obnoxious as you'd expect, but  they were the very model of mildness, timid tact and diplomacy compared to the vile bigotry spewed on those sorts of sites.

Who said anything about fundamentalists? Floo said that she posts on two US-based forums, no more - no indication of what kind of sites they are.

She mentioned that "sick bigotry" was rife.  I, personally, would avoid such forums, not mix with them.

Firstly, I'm not sure about describing mental health as ''wing nuttery'' secondly wasn't it Oliver James the psychologist who said that mental health issues were rife in the UK......if you want to know ask a policeman, nurse, doctor or teacher who has dealt with the public.

That's no answer. Unless you are some sort of dumbbell, you should have a reason to purposely use a particular forum, and since in this case it is ones that the poster has no belief in, then it is quite apposite to ask, "why?"   Anyway, let the person answer for herself;  though it is quite apparent that she never answers awkward questions.  We shall see.

Well, for one reason, these Christian Fundamentalist forums are a really wonderful source of good rich belly laughs.

I find that thgeir pronouncements are frequently hysterically funny in their total stupidity; their acceptance of creationism, their total belief that they are the people chosen to rule the world purley by right of nationality and religion.

To read the writings of the leader of one Chritian sect on the fact the Harry Potter represents the Devil, Hermione Granger the Virgin Mary and Draco Malfoy Jesus Christ has brightened up many a dull or miserable day. The descriptions of candle magic, colour magic, etc show a depth of stupidity and ignorance that is hard to believe in the "leaders of the free world".

You just do not find comedy of this calibre on U K forums.

I post on religious forums to challenge the extremist Christian nutters. Most Christians are moderate in their views and don't frighten the horses, I might not see it their way, but I have no problem with them. It is the ones who claimed to be 'saved' (whatever that really means) but behave in a despicable manner, who really annoy me. They try to claim some moral high ground because of their religion, but in reality are crawling around in the gutter where any decency and right thinking is concerned, particularly the one who makes the most noise! >:( They appear to lack the basic intelligence to understand their nastiness drags Christianity into the gutter with them! ::)

Sorry Rose but you need to put up or apologise. Name the Christian Groups and what violence they are committing.

There is a rather large US forum where she had not posted for ages last time I looked. So must be a member of more than two. Or came back whilst I was away. She has not twigged who I am ... LOL

What I actually said was I posted on two US based forums where bigotry is rife. I have posted on loads of US based forums over the years, but haven't bothered with many of them for a good long time. At present I am posting on just two.

There are several members who could be Sass on the two US forums on which I am currently posting. Fruit loops is a good way of describing the vast majority of Christians who post there! ;D
