Re: Tickling, Religion, and Morality
Scott,
I for one enjoy the posts and the discussion. It doesn’t bother me if you want to represent the small part in all of us that has a society-induced conscience. It would bother me a little more if we completely relegated this part to the unconscious, through censorship no less.
The irony and symbolism of this situation has not escaped me. You are the creator of this forum and The Creator has returned to give us greater insight and to wrestle with the very demons we spoke of from the beginning.
I agree that posts should be titled appropriately, and not in a deceiving way. Scott, you don’t need to deceive anyone here. You carry enough respect that people naturally want to hear what you have to say. Deception erodes that respect and demeans the very people you wish to convert. Please set an example of integrity. Label the threads appropriately, so some of the people in this thread and others can choose not to read it.
I’m more likely to read your posts here than on another site, so please keep posting here on the TMF.
Those that fear that you will forever change the tone of this forum probably don’t realize how quickly you will leave once you make a fool of yourself, or how valuable a contribution you will make if you do not. As qjakal said, this is the best place to hone your argument, and also, the place and the topic that will touch the deepest part of you and your conflict.
I’m glad you resurfaced and I’d even like to hear a short objective version of what your religion is about. However, that doesn’t seem likely. That, I suppose, would better be done elsewhere.

P.S. I’m sure you can settle on a screen name that doesn’t conflict with itself. Please pick one and try to stick with it.
P.P.S. Perhaps you read in my comment on the Tori Spears interview that the “black” in my screen name is in the sense of the raiment of a Chinese Monk or that of a western man of the cloth.
