The Christian Anime Alliance

my opinion: Cool to see people under the branch of a nationally-popular religion accepting anime and even using it as a tool to teach the ethics/morals of their faith! Kudos!

I think the same applies here. The owner of CAA feels talking about NGE causes flame wars (Has happened in the past many times) thus feels the need that we are not responsible enough for having a mature and intellectual discussion about NGE. Although we (or you) may feel this is unfair, (as a good number of us are quite intellectual and mature) we must obey the owner, as she feels it is in her best judgement to ban such a topic.

All you people seem to say things such as "only if the mods were less lenient on rule breakers". So would you rather see all NGE topic starters banned? Theres a double-standard on your end. I find it funny how you say CAA lives by a double-standard, yet you are also on a double-standard by saying mods should have more guts to ban members.

What I think is the most sad about this is that according to the Bible (you know, that big book that Christians are supposed to read and follow daily?), Christians are supposed to be slow to speak and to love thy neighbors AND their enemies yet the members of a Christian-themed anime site are too immature to handle doing that if they wind up getting controversial topics banned yet the members of a non-Christian-themed anime site like ANN can.

What kind of image is that giving Christians? Yes, I know, not all Christians are too immature to handle discussing the Christian symbolism in Evangelion or the moralities of Gravitation, but CAA having to ban these discussions because their members can't follow the bible long enough to love thy neighbors and their enemies isn't exactly giving them a good image to non-Christians.

Having said that, I'm surprised FMA didn't wind up on their ban list. I mean, the main character of the show is agnostic and the first episode involves Ed disproving a whole religion and the series even tends to borderline anti-Christian in later episodes.

And yes, I AM comparing them to communists because technically they are, but not in the sense of the word that people have come to known, but rather as people who work together towards a common goal, or a commune.

Maybe they are not lazy now. But it was a rule created out of laziness.

If it's filled with young teens, it's probably true. In my experience, Wolverine Princess is one of a kind.)

I have been follwoing this thread for a while now and I have refrained from speaking, but no longer will I idealy sit by and watch this "Christian" give the rest of us Christians Bad name's.

I Like Jesus, I like anime. Gantz, and NGE are the Shit! So is Jesus. The CAA just likes to stomp on free speech. Isn't This supposed to be " One nation under God". A nation created for freedom and Justice and Peace. Let people discuss what they want and Let it go at that!

We are not all THAT INMATURE!

Why not just grow up and learn to discuss things civilly?

We're not bashing the CAA. We just wish Billy's mom would let him eat the cupcake.

Oh and since any forum have free speech? None that I've seen before. So I guess ever forum stomps on free speech eh?

Oh wait, they're apparently happy there, and like it just how it is, because unlike billy, they can leave whenever they feel like it.

Didn't Tony K previously lock this topic because we started talking about theology and doctrine? It was (before it got unlocked, giving one more chance) is he being lazy? Not letting us talk just because we got a little off-topic? I don't see that as lazy.

I've noticed that fansub debates around here pretty much always leads to flaming (if not page 11, then page 15), and yet, they're still allowed. So if I understand correctly, titles are banned at CAA just because some people throw a ruckus about it? Might as well start up a controversy (and get a bunch of friends) in the Haruhi thread, maybe it will become banned from discussion.

Who said Billy's mom locks him in his room all day like those kids from Flowers in the Attic? He can go watch fansubs at Youtube's house if he wants to, too. He just loves his mom very much and hangs out at the house all day because it's air conditioned [still a place where Christain anime fans can meet each other, despite the rules and bans]. I'm sure everyone here agrees that the concept of air conditioning is a good idea, but putting dog droppings with cupcakes in their backyard is a silly way to get Billy to hang around the house. I'm sure we'd all like the site better if Billy's mom just baked cupcakes for all his friends with no poop attatched.

How is loving my neighbor and enemies relevant to being able to properly handle a discussion?

A series isn't banned because the main character is an atheist, a series is banned because it sparks a lot of heated debate. Please read some of the previous posts before making a statement like this.

To say that they shouldn't do what they are doing, and getting people to gang up on their ideas, and call them lazy or compare them to stalin just because they don't agree with your ideal view, is selfish. In my opinion, that's dog droppings. And to top it all off, it's not your site, and you don't have any power to change that. Truly a futile argument.

Other posts in the thread prove otherwise. If you look back a few pages, people continually ask the same question over and over. The same question(s) which I was answering to, thus me reiterating my point. No need to get fussy.

I don't see how it is immoral. Unfair? Possibly to some people. But unethical? Most certaintly not. It wouldn't be immoral if you felt you should ban all forms of cookies in your house because your children were not responsible enough to not indulge.
