I'm catching the tail end of this, seems to be some kind of controversy...

https://domaingang.com/domain-news/rob-monster-off-twitter-after-christchurch-massacre-controversy/

Must be something odd to evoke this type of a response from one of our members.

but it's not an accusation of racism?
A few people probably didn't like that epik reached out to gab, where "racial hate" flows freely
Some people think that was not a problem
Some people noticed the shooting video that was linked publicly was through epik's services- the link said "anonymize.com"
some people don't care
Some people saw that "@EPIK" posted the manifesto to gab and they advertised some weird file thing
Some people don't care
Oh and bitmitigate reached out to daily stormer to get noticed

Isn't it just that guy's opinion that "racial hate flowing through" them is a problem... Even if you think that is exaggerated or whatever

A few years ago I used to listen to Alex Jones radio show, I found it interesting, sometimes comical, other times true. I think it was more of an misunderstanding as to why Alex got banned from YouTube IMO

Although I don’t agree with sites like GAB, I do understand their reasoning for their existence and don’t oppose their mere existence, just some of the bad apples that go over the top.

Racism is alive and well, it never went anywhere, the tones are different today, some relations are better why other relations are worse.

We all have our beliefs, things we like, things we don’t like. That is just human nature. We have ways of trying to convince others that our beliefs are right, again, purely human nature.

Free speech is a form of transparency of what our beliefs are and why we feel strongly about our beliefs. It is a Freedom in the US that must remain in its natural statue despite forms of hate speech that cause separation and sometimes lead to actual violence. Free speech is part of the foundation of America.

As is freedom of religion

I don’t know Rob Monster and have never registered a name at Epic.

But I do see that Rob Monster does stand up for what he believes in and defends his beliefs with much transparency, which is a good thing IMO, it shows honesty without sugar coating beliefs to appease others who disagree with the beliefs. I can respect that, I can respect that far better than a person who sways their beliefs to appease others.

We all are right, wrong and indifferent.

Only God is perfect

Me, non denominational Christian

White male, happily married to a black female.

Like to smoke pot

Use smokeless tobacco daily

So see, a lot of shit I do and who I am many many many people just here at NamePros alone probably have negative opinions about the above, which is to be expected, that is human nature.

That is a great comment. Thank you for that.

From your profile, I believe you are 56 years old -- as such you are older than most here, and apparently wiser too. Personally I don't smoke, and rarely drink but judge nobody. I do know for sure that Jesus drank wine and that there will be wine in eternity, both at the wedding supper and likely long after.

As for this thread, I experienced something remarkable today. I spoke to the son of one of the only living survivors of Operation Dominic and Operation Fish Bowl. The naval personnel that were stationed at Johnson Island have since all died, but, miraculously, not this guy. And his son is a NP member! Wow.

The Internet is here for a reason. It is exposing thousands of years of secrets as vast libraries of private knowledge are being opened to the public. People around the world are poring over them and connecting dots in the search for incontrovertible truth. This is setting people free in vast numbers. See Daniel 12:4.

Satan has a little time left to deceive as many people as possible before the great hour of temptation, which I do believe is absolutely at the door. The stage is set which is why there has been a surge of gender confusion, pornography, broken families, addiction, persecution, ridicule and now censorship.

It is absolutely imperative that folks search for truth. It is not a luxury even though people treat it as such. It is a necessity. Those who have not yet contemplated eternity are ignorantly deluding their mortal selves. If the censors and book-burners have it their way you will have missed your window.

As for whether folks use Epik for their domains and hosting, I hope they do. I imagine there are people who won't eat at Chick-Fil-A because a Christian owns it. This seems irrational to me but so be it. If folks condemn me for enabling the search for truth, so be it, just remember, I am looking out for your soul.

Another view of "We all are right, wrong":

We all are right, based on what we know and think we know.
But we all could be wrong, based on what we think we know and don't know.

Edward de Bono discusses something along those lines in his book I Am Right You Are Wrong

The Internet lets you share your truth and put it alongside the truth of others. I am all for that. Do you advocate that others should not have the opportunity to present their truth?

As for Edward de Bono, it is funny that you mention him. He is a Rhodes Scholar. I was recently studying the legacy of Cecil Rhodes. Cecil left 7 wills, 5 of which included his Confession of Faith. Here is a copy:

https://mikemcclaughry.files.wordpress.com/2015/01/rhodes-confession-of-faith.pdf

As you can see, Cecil was inspired by the Jesuits and the Freemasons. He set about to build his own Secret Society, aligned with the British Empire.

I offer this not by way of judgment as to whether de Bono is a force for good, but as context for who sponsored him to get to where he is, and what their objectives were. Perhaps of interest.

Agree 110%, The internet has and does bring so much insight and truth of secrets we had no idea of. I believe these are blessings of guidance for Christians for both knowledge and protection against satans deception and false prophets IMO.

You are right IMO, Satan knows he is on very borrowed time, We are very close to the return of Jesus Christ IMO

I think we need to acknowledge that there is a difference between free speech and truth and facts. That free speech is not automatically a virtue and free speech can certainly be used for evil means. Free speech is only a virtue when it has truth and facts as its backers.

There can only be one truth and one set of facts.

We can agree there. Truth IS absolute. Our awareness and understanding is dynamic.

Here is a good example of people with different views able to have a sensible conversation about why the world is the way that is without having to make absolute statements about thinks that they don't know for sure, while at the same time contemplating that there is more than you have been told.

If you don't follow his channel, why do you repost the video? Are you 100% in agreement with him? If not, why do you repost his video?

Additionally, if you cannot make absolute statements about something then you don't have enough facts and information and therefore do not have the truth. Taking a stance on inconclusive opinions can be and is dangerous.

When you have people making uncertain and indefinite statements on events and known facts then you get an infinite number of opinions and none will be the truth. The end result is utter confusion. This is why there is no end to conspiracy theories. And conspiracy theories will always stay as theories and never as truth.

No, taking a stance on opinions, which can be argued inconclusive or not, is not dangerous. What is dangerous is attacking or harming those with opinions.

Forming strong opinions without having all the facts is dangerous any day. Sorry. You are simply wrong. Attacking those opinions with truth and facts is the right thing to do. Unless you want to live in a made-up world. That's your right too.

You seem to have a strong opinion. Is it dangerous?

Which opinion are you referring to?
You said, "Additionally, if you cannot make absolute statements about something then you don't have enough facts and information and therefore do not have the truth. Taking a stance on inconclusive opinions can be and is dangerous."

Clearly that is your opinion. It's also fair for everyone to form opinions based on the information they choose. What I disagree with is "opinions can be and is dangerous" as you stated.

My question is: Is your opinion dangerous? Or, are only those opinions you disagree with dangerous?

So you believe that if you don't have all the facts, and yet form an opinion, there is no problem with that?

I happened to come across it and think it aligned with your sentiment. It is a conversation where the statements are not absolute but there is context. The guy being interviewed is tatted and makes reference to DMT, neither of which are for me, but he gives himself license to ask questions and seek answers.

Also, I have heard kids mention him so I thought it was interesting. While he is not PewDiePie, the fact that there are a growing number of youth that are openly considering whether or not to believe propaganda is a massive shift from even just 10 years ago.

As for absolute statements, I do absolutely believe that NASA has never been to the moon. I also know for sure that the Bible describes a fixed, non-moving earth. There is an abundance of evidence that shows that this is indeed true even though it conflicts terribly with indoctrination.

I would ask you if you were a Jesuit, but there is no point in asking that since, if you are, the Jesuit oath would make that a pretty pointless exercise:

http://www.reformation.org/jesuit-oath.html

The Jesuits have been primary agents for more than 400 years in the exercise to convince humanity that the earth is an insignificant speck in a vast and expanding universe hurdling through space at 66,600 miles per hour with the the earth is tilted at 66.6% (90 - 23.4 = 66.6).

No, I feel it is within everyone's right to form an opinion. Further, when those opinions are attacked with intentional harm that is what is dangerous. The opinion is not dangerous, although the reaction to the opinion can be dangerous.

Well, then you need to back this up with facts. Not videos of other deniers raising questions. But hard facts. Facts are facts and truth is the truth. There are no two ways about it.

Example:'It is my opinion that most vaccines are unnecessary and are foisted on us by people with evil agendas' ( so I will not vaccinate my children ) ( and I may try to convince other people to believe this BS. then they will not vaccinate their children )

Not dangerous? OK

You can have your opinions. Everyone has that right. But if you publish those opinions and promote them as an alternative to the known facts, then you better have a sold backing. And, darn right, it is dangerous if the Internet permeates with wrong information that is passed on as facts.

Aha, you think you control the narrative but you are just a pawn on the chessboard. I will take the opportunity to REPEAT the video that you wanted to move off this page.


Also, congratulations for helping to make this thread the #1 Lights-out most popular thread on all of NamePros for the MONTH:

What you accept as truth is different than what others accept as truth. We are all free to form an opinion. It is dangerous to attack those with different opinions.

If I disagree with your opinions, does that make you dangerous?

What you are saying is far from being tolerant when the roles are reversed.

You're welcome. I don't want your post or videos removed. Just want you to back up your claims with actual facts.

I guess we have a different definition of what is "truth". To me truth is like, "the sky is blue", "the grass is green". Truth is indisputable, whereas opinions clearly are. There can only be one truth.

However, if you question the truth, you better have solid facts supporting you.
