Welcome to the Club, Silenced By the Tolerant
The Gentiles Club is so named from the Bible, denoting people who were on the outside. Just the fact that we are thinking puts us in that category.
So welcome to the Gentiles Club. Here are the rules of dialogue:
Any member may bring up any subject whether social, political, economic, scientific, religious, philosophical, or whatever the imagination can think to ask. When the member brings up a topic he can do so in as general or specific a way as he deems, and can posit is as a mere question or may begin with his belief on the matter.
The idea is that we are sort of our own school making up a bank of thought on every conceiveable idea to archive and look back to years from now. We are our own Supreme Court teaching and being taught by the other, and in the end of the subject coming to some sort of conclusion.
This once was a forum, but were frozen out, somewhat the way a Christian or Conservative viewpoint seems to have been by most mainstream bloggers who speak elequenty about the all mighty messsage of tollerance and acceptance of anything and everything, except, er, for anyone who disagrees with their particular message, or in absolutes or God. That CAN'T be accepted or discussed.
My compatriot blogger, Sir Christian A-Lot may post our old discussions. Else, we will post here our messages of hate and prejudice (by that I mean the horrible assertions that there exists in this world an objective truth and beauty that can be understood by homo sapiens sapiens).
Sir CAL is much friendlier than I, while I, Gregorscoff, am bitter and easily annoyed. The truth of the matter is, if you are a leftist atheist, I have heard all of your tired and boring 'arguments' at least a hundred million times before. Most of them I have probably also thought in my own head when I was a Ph.D. student (read: too much free time) and drank too much.
But in the spirit of Dennis Prager, I prefer clarity to agreement. I would love to hear even the most contrary ideas to my own, and let foolishness fall where it may.
And so let the dialogues of the Gentiles Club begin.
Cheers.

When the member brings up a topic he can do so in as general or specific a way as he deems, and can posit is as a mere question or may begin with his belief on the matter.
Once the subject is named, it will be the topic of conversation for one week. It is then up to the other members
to respond in a prompt manner to the subject.
The responses go on for up to a week. Once the week is up, the topic is frozen and no more comments on this thread are allowed anywhere in the forum, ever. Another similar question that came from the subject is fine but never the same idea twice.
When the member who originally asked the question has had his week, it is then his job to write up a conclusion, summarizing main points, agreements and dissenting opinions to serve as a record, like the Supreme Court.
The idea is that we are sort of our own school making up a bank of thought on every conceiveable idea to archive and look back to years from now. We are our own Supreme Court teaching and being taught by the other, and in the end of the subject coming to some sort of conclusion.
