CARM Pharisaical Moderation

 In a recent exchange on CARM regarding a certain nefarious youtube video produced by my brother .. I responded to a poster named Magdalena.. A ex-Mormon anti-Mormon.




 Notice I responded to three questions..  Two in the affirmative and one in the negative.. to which I followed up with explanation and two rhetorical questions.

Apparently CARM Moderation deemed my post as  'Evil Drivel' as I received the following infraction..

Dear oceancoast, You have received an infraction at Christian Discussion Forums | CARM Christian Forums. Reason: Rule 6: PG Discussions Only Rule 25: No blasphemy/insulting remarks about Christianity Rule 29:B, No links to offensive material, No links to articles with discussion or comments 41: Vocabulary: No vulgarities, obscenities, profanity, or swearing. The filter will block certain words. If a word is blocked in your posting, please edit to include a more appropriate word. Posting spaces, characters that leave the impression or meaning of profanity are still considered a rule violation. ------- Divisive and evil
Do not waste our time by posting evil drivel --


Let's recap the Rules the moderator claims I violated..

Rule 6: PG Discussions Only
      The discussion was well within PG content,
Rule 25: No blasphemy/insulting remarks about Christianity  
      No blasphemy or insulting remarks were made toward Christianity.
Rule 29:B, No links to offensive material, No links to articles with discussion or comments 
      There was no links at all.
Rule 41: Vocabulary: No vulgarities, obscenities, profanity, or swearing. The filter will block certain words. If a word is blocked in your posting, please edit to include a more appropriate word. Posting spaces, characters that leave the impression or meaning of profanity are still considered a rule violation.
      There was no vulgarities or bad language etc in the post.

As one can clearly see, there was NO violation of any of the rules stated..  It just came down to the moderator not liking the post and declaring it 'Evil Drivel'   Why would they do such a thing, UNLESS of course the post hits the bullseye on the TRUTH about CARM and it's minions..

My precious

In a recent discussion on CARM with the poster Bonnie on the admonishment of Luck 6:31 and the negativity of Anti-Mormonism. She indicated her devotion to the Anti-Mormonism and said simply

  "I will not give up my Anti-Mormonism".

Not withstanding that it strange that she seems to take ownership of Anti-Mormonism.   Quite repeatedly she and others on CARM make the claim that they ARE anti-Mormonism.  I think her comment quite telling of an obsessive behavior.

To be clear our discussion revolved around the admonishment of Christ - 'Do unto others what you would want them to do you." Luke 6:31   It is one of the hallmark teachings of Christians everywhere..

 I asked Bonnie, if she would advocate people attacking and misrepresenting her faith which is Lutheran (LCMS)..  The obvious answer is "No, she would not advocate that at all"..  simply put to say otherwise would be duplicity of mind.. A kingdom divided against itself, and yet despite he readily saying she would not want people misrepresenting and attacking her faith.. She persists in attacking and misrepresenting the faith of others namely, the LDS faith,.  

Now Jesus never attacked other faiths, instead what he was most vocal and outspoken about was Hypocrisy in his own faith.   And even when anti-Mormon is confronted with this apparently hypocrisy of behavior on her part.. she doubles down and declares she will not give up her anti-Mormonism.

I see this as a classic example of the almost drug like addiction that overcomes Anti-Mormons.  It's as if parts of their mental capacity has been short circuited and they can no longer control themselves.  They are addicted in a way.. to their 'Precious" anti-Mormonism.
