[QUOTE="JSRG, post: 77632203, member: 418772"] This is apparently in reference to Desk trauma, comana, and Hans Blaster. All of them are atheists. I'm not sure exactly why you are expecting them to be Christian? If your complaint is there being a bunch of atheists, if someone wants posts only by Christians, there's plenty of subforums that only allow that (the [URL='https://www.christianforums.com/forums/christian-philosophy-ethics.459/']Christian Philosophy & Ethics[/URL] subforum is basically the Christian-only counterpart to this subforum; it's not quite as active, but of course that can happen when there's fewer people allowed to post). This is apparently in reference to ViaCrucis. But ViaCrucis's whole argument, at least as I understand it, wasn't to "never mind the encroaching forces of darkness", but to rather assert that the "encroaching forces of darkness" are empowered [I]because[/I] of Christian behavior, and that said behavior should be corrected. This one is apparently regarding Bradskii (it was a little confusing at first because you say "happening only in Connecticut" as if it was a quote, and he never said that phrase), who you at least recognize as an unbeliever unlike when you complained about three non-Christians not acting Christian. However, Moloch, Samhain, and Tonatiuh are never mentioned in the article, so even the article [I]itself[/I] isn't trying to warn people of what you say. It never brings up human sacrifice either. And while this might be pedantic, I should point out that people didn't "worship" Samhain, as it was a yearly [I]event[/I], not a deity. It is not clear if there were even any human sacrifices at Samhaim; looking into it a little, some literature claimed there was in the past, but those works are viewed as being highly embellished if not outright legendary, so it's difficult to know if such accounts are based on actual truth. How do you know AlexB23 didn't read it? I can't speak for him, but in my experience, AlexB23 is actually pretty good at reading articles and a lot of his posts are simply offering summaries of articles people post. Even if he did not read it, the title does seem to be clickbait (and it's from The Federalist, a website that has a good amount of exaggerated clickbait in my experience). It brings up some worrisome trends in American culture, and fair enough on that part, but then spends most of it trying to liken it to paganism, which I feel is tenuous and perhaps distracting from the actual issues. I know basically nothing about Worthy Christian Forums. Given your post I expect you won't be returning to reply, but I'll ask anyway: What's so bad about them? Well, if you don't like a forum, quitting makes some sense. If you're going to tell someone to leave a forum and go elsewhere, it might be a good idea to give a recommendation on what forum you think they [I]should[/I] go to. [/QUOTE]
