You're implying there is a double standard. I want to know if you can support that claim or if you're pulling it out of your butt.

People like me who would like to post to Meet Opponents for Help concerning General Announcements about Posers and Puzzles about Only Chess Tournaments and Clans Site Ideas to Developers are being descriminated against.
If I want to post my ideas on the above topic in Debates, my post will be removed. This is obviously a violation of my First Amendmen ...[text shortened]... orum, where all ideas are shared openly, rather then being compartmentalized or censored.
Originally posted by Bobla45Thanks. I finally have found a place where people of my persuasion can post freely without threat of persecution.

I'm sorry pcaspian. I will not discuss theism/superstition or its complement, atheism/rationality, in the debates forum. Such discussions belong in the new Spirituality forum.
"Rational", indeed. You're more emotional than my mom. 🙂

If I want to post my ideas on the above topic in Debates, my post will be removed. This is obviously a violation of my First Amendment rights perpetrated by the bigot Debater-types! Any time I try to post about this issue I am insulted and degraded. These "Debaters" think themselves so open-minded and reasonable, but they are really hypocrites.

What does it matter what anyone believes? This is not a board to
speak about matters of belief or faith as I have been told. So why is
it allowed call another's beliefs superstition? When that is done isn't it
a matter for the other board not here? It was completely out bounds
to do so, it was an insult to do so, and it should be take off the
debate board and this person should be warned to keep his faith
off the debate board and put it where it belongs. If we are going to
keep such matters out of the debate board.
Personally, I think the Spiritual board is the dumbest idea to come
down in a long time, since everything from wearing cloths, sleeping
with others, eating, how one looks at things, the age of the earth,
evolution, all can be called religious, have something to do with
people's beliefs and so on. Keeping such things off the board is
not going to happen, the subject matter to large.
I believe it is good in that religious topics can be started in one place,
but nothing will keep people from speaking their minds, or changing
the subjects as they think of something else while talking is not going
to happen in a debate board or most any other board either.

Xanthos wasn't speaking about beliefs, he was confirming that in the english dictionary that is a correct usage of the word "superstition". However, if you had paid attention you'd have noticed the person who used it was merely trying to be all-inclusive (spirituality not being just religion) and to state this is no longer the place for such discussions.
But of course, crusaders such as yourself rarely care about such details, do they? Any excuse to charge the enemy hey 😉 or in this case, whinge at them.

Your name calling aside, on calling me a crusader.
Details are exactly why I responded to the post. Anyone can claim
to believe anything they want, I don't care. To take it beyond that
and start calling another's beliefs superstition has crossed the line,
it belittles the other person's beliefs or faith. To have a debate board
that is to restrict such topics should do that for all not just a select
few. I don't care if another thinks my beliefs are irrational, as I don't
care what you think of my beliefs. Having said that it is not proper to
go beyond that and post such statements on a board that is
supposed to be free of such spiritual topcs.
