You should alert the moderators about the post rather than insinuate that I in any way condone what Dasa said because I oppose banning him for it.

I find this thread to be rather objectionable. I think Dasa is a horrible troll, but the idea of raising a thread to rabble-rouse sentiment against him (and thanks to FMF re-posting your original text I think it's pretty clear that this was your initial intention) is entirely reprehensible. We should all count ourselves fortunate that you have no authority to decide who gets to post in this forum.
And a demagogue, revolutionary, exciter, firebrand, fomenter, incendiary, inciter, instigator, kindler, provocateur, among other things.
You hypocrites. I said some positive things about my intentions toward Dasa in another thread and you all ignored it. But as soon as you see a way, you go out of your way to vilify me.
Your intentions are thinly veiled. Wasn't Dasa banned once along with taco and lettuce? Haven't you all been in collusion in all these threads bashing Dasa?
I think Dasa should be banned. Not because anyone should be banned because we don't agree with their religious beliefs or philosophy of life, but because he's filling these threads with anything but debate.
You are all co-conspirators along with Dasa to hijack this forum. For that you should be all be banned.

Originally posted by RJHindsI tend to agree but there are several forms of atheism, on a scale from weak to strong. Strong atheists who say categorically there is no god have only their faith to make that statement but the weaker versions of atheism are closer to agnostic which is not a religious stance.
I have no objection to atheists posting on this forum if they will admit
that atheism is a religion like Dasa admits his views are religious.
I am more in the agnostic stance than atheistic because I think neither one knows any more than the other about the presence or absence of a god. I look at it like this: There are too many religions on Earth to have come from a god, so if they came from gods there are many gods but I see no sign of one or another ever being here on Earth.
The death of the dinosaurs tells me humans can go the same route, a ten mile wide meteorite will kill mankind just as easily as it did the dinosaurs and no god will come down like some fairy godmother and save our sorry assses.
Humans are just not that advanced to be worth the notice of a real god. All you have to do is look at the violent history of the 19th and 20th century and the 10th and 11th century and see there was no god there to save anyone's butt.
I feel firmly it would be the same if we screwed up the planet so bad as to off the entire human race, making room for the REAL advanced beings who might evolve in another 100 million years or so. So many religions at each other's throats, no god could possible be happy with such a situation and to allow it to go on for thousands of years.
I can't say there is no god but I can say I don't see any evidence if there is one that gives a rats asss about humans. We could just as well be just the latest experiment like we treat lab rats, if we die, we learn something. Same maybe with some god or other.
If a lesser god came down and proclaimed himself to be Jesus incarnate, who on Earth, any one of the 7 billion of us, could prove otherwise, this lesser god heals the sick, raises the dead, says believe in me and you will have life everafter in bliss, you would fall all over yourself to be the first in line to get the rapture, all the time just being played with.

No , he shouldn't be banned.
I wonder if you would be calling for a ban if it was a christian cutting and pasting?
Dasa seems to wreck whatever positive points he has by the rest of what he posts.
(the 10% of negative things stick out, like a bad smell which ruin the rest of his posts)
I see him as a fundamentalist, as bad as any christian here. Unflexible and not recognizing our own dharmas.
