Weather forecast for the 'Religion' group: cloudy with alert storms

[Yorktown]

I posted a NRA video denouncing the 'godless left' which I found highly entertaining:

with just the following comment:

Can't be sure, but looks like the godless are out to no good.
She concludes about a god-given right to believe. I liked it. A bit circular, but cute.

Got alerted upon.

Crickey, can't report on -imo funny- events happening in the world?

Whence the question: was the alerter really offended or settling scores?

(hoping the jury would believe -as it apparently did- that any offensive reality must be hidden?)

Yours, befuddled.

1. The new "politically correct": If ANYONE dislikes what you say, you can and will be silenced. n/t

[Yorktown]

4. Oh well, I can see 'why' 'someone' would alert

But that 4 out of 7 random folks would find a mere report offensive?

Wow. Just wow.

[bvf]

2. No friggin' way anyone was offended by that.

Some asshole settling a score.

Amazed that the jury voted as it did, too, but I've been unpleasantly amazed by juries before.

ETA:

"God-given right to believe"!

Good catch. I can imagine the double-take if you weren't ready for it.

[Yorktown]

3. Yup. I must admit I was more amazed by the jury than by the score-settling alert

[mountain grammy]

5. unhinged!

6. Sorry dude...

...I did my part...(I was #1, #4 or #7).

8. Other than that woman being a horrible human being,

I see nothing hide-worthy.

9. Some people have no sense of humor. Or irony.

Or shame, apparently.

I'd tell you where those people hang out, but they'd probably Alert on me. Hell, I'm surprised nobody Alerted on your OP.

I know this is a Safe Haven. But sometimes we seem to have more spies than Stalin.

(We always have to mention Stalin in here, since he was once the Atheist Pope. Then it was Hitchens, who isn't around any more. Current Worse-Than-Stalin Atheist Pope is Prof. Richard Dawkins, I think.)

10. Sam Harris appears to be high on the charts of this/these people too

(We always have to mention Stalin in here, since he was once the Atheist Pope. Then it was Hitchens, who isn't around any more. Current Worse-Than-Stalin Atheist Pope is Prof. Richard Dawkins, I think.)

I just answered an OP in religion which tries the following equation:

Harris = New Atheism = conservative islamophobes (= racists is implied, I suppose)

Anything to protect 'god', even when it's not your own..

11. It doesn't take much

for people to pull the trigger on you anywhere here now. I stumbled on a post pointing out that someone on another site was celebrating getting a post of another member's hidden here. One of that sites admins popped in and said that post was deleted and like posts would not be tolerated. I said "Thanks, (admin's name). That was enough to get me banned from the HRC group. I am so tired of obnoxious supporters of both candidates- so much so that I think I will just lurk down here. This is the only A&A group I belong to, so I just can't totally walk away.

PS- to bravenak and Cha- we may support different candidates, but I love you both and think this alert trolling is BS and should not be tolerated by those who can stop it.

12. Yes, HRC vs Bernie is the main alert battlefield. Religion and Middle East second and third.

It would be fun to have the statistics of the 'hide alert' intensity per forum.
