"Try being deliberately offensive to everyone, then you won't have to worry about accidentally offending someone."
Love that
Speaking as one who has what I think is a deep faith. I am not really religious at all. Pretty hard to offend me.
But as this guy said. Religious nuts from all "religions" well they have the problem not you.
To err is human to really mess up you need a computer

Christians can be easily insulted. I know, I used to be a Christian.
You got your answers to your earlier post, so move on. You need thicker skin, if this is really bothering you.

I got 'Abuse' for next to nothing - and from platinum members too! (the -16 doesn't lie). Some times the butter-hurt flows strongly in someone... I wouldn't worry too much!
And to offend my religious views one must try hard, I'm 100% atheist with a knack for esoterism and mysticism (I mean culturally, I'm no pagan or something trendy like that).

This happens... an open community with open options... unless you talk about bacon you can get abused, banned, deleted, erased, criticized, trolled, flamed...
Don't give any importance to that... It has no sense.
The best part of that is that you've got interesting answers too, this is what you wanted so...

I'm sorry, Goldrake (that's how we call it in Italy) is still extremely popular here, even if no longer watched!
Jokes on Goldrake and Vegans are at the order of the day

I had a look at all your messages on the previous question, and none deserves even a downvote, let alone an abuse flag. But, hey ho, there are always people here quick on the attack, we just have to live with them.

Yes, well there are people who behave like christians, following the words of their prophets and god, and then there are people who call themselves christians in the belief that it makes them superior to other people.
CP's got some of both.
(And you could say the same about any religion, anyway. Basically, people suck.)

Yes, all Christians follow the words literally, and we are all evil.

You can say it for anything that people blindly believe. Listen to some Americans bickering about republican and democrat, and you find the same religious modus operandi.

People don't suck, but most are a bit.. ehr.. simple, and tend to believe everything they're told. It matters little if it is a priest, a politician or a banker.

Except that they don't
According to the Bible:
-- Homosexuality is a sin (but more than half the priests I've ever met are/were gay).
-- Fellatio is equivalent to bestiality (guess which African religion was quickly crossed off my to-do list).
-- "Tolerance" of other religions is sinful (and I had a particularly unpleasant exchange with a "christian" member of CP about precisely that -- unpleasant because of his "christian" behaviour, that is).
Most christians I know -- and I've known a lot; I used to work for the Catholic church -- are either passive-aggressive supremacists or just plain ol' aggressive supremacists, who use the word "christian" when it suits the needs of their (passive-)aggression.
Whether or not they actually believe in their god is immaterial, because I've yet to meet one who faithfully follows the clearly defined rules given by their god; they just make up whatever rules appease their desires, and declare that christianity has changed (I've yet to discover how they go about informing their god that his religion has changed).

Absolutely.

That's not untrue, but, given the chance to suck, most people jump at it.
Look at any half-trained twat who's been given a uniform, for example -- airport staff, etc.

Religious posts should go to the soapbox, but it's not worth an "abuse" vote.

Christians are human; as such, they have a sin nature and strive to control it. Sometimes we do; sometimes we don't. The test lies in what we do afterwards - do we try to make amends or not.
Christmas is, at its root, a time of peace and good will to all. What we have made of it is something else entirely.

As a wise person once told me.....no-one has the right not to be offended. Unless you never go out, never read a newspaper, never watch television, never talk to anyone....then chances are you are going to be offended by something.
It never ceases to amaze me how quickly some people get offended by things that they could just as easily choose to ignore. If someone criticises a religious festival (Christmas for example), then surely it's far easier to just ignore it, than to get offended and have an argument over it.
There are some truly horrific things going on that are truly deserving of being offended (the events in Sydney and Pakistan for example).
As Stephen Fry said, your offence means nothing to me whatsoever. I couldn't care less about it.

It's a terminology thing. The correct term is "The Holiday Season".
This is the official Pastafarian term for this time of year and there are clearly a lot of us out there as "Happy Holiday Season" is widely recognised as the correct greeting.
Aaarrrh!

A year or so ago I hit ebay with the idea of building what would have been a kick arse stereo back in the 80s. I don't really like movies or have any interest in surround sound, I just wanted a pair of high quality speakers and an amp. Long story short I ended up finding what I wanted, bought a new cd player and was less than $1000 poorer and very happy.
Then my partner started to complain. Not about the noise, not about the 80 blond wood aesthetic of my rather large speakers but that the piece of furniture I had stored my cd collection in had gently bowed under the weight. Keeping 100s of cd in a draw just seemed like a silly idea when I could rip them in a lossless format and store them on a few cheap hdds so I went looking for solutions. There's a product, and it does look to be very good, called Sonos that would allow me to play digital streamed music from a NAS wirelessly but it is quite expensive, something like $700 aud for a device which would plug into my amp. So I went googling and found Volumio[^] a software solution which offered the feature I wanted and would run on a Raspberry Pi. I also found cheap I2C DAC for the Raspberry Pi which promises audiophile quality output called IQaudIO[^]
I'm still waiting for the DAC and using the Pi's headphone socket in the mean time but I am already very impressed with the setup. And all for less than $100aud. None of this would have been possible with the internet, we truly live in an amazing time.
