Hey guys. My name is Renee from Illinois. HI MIKE…yes it is me, renee from that coffee shop you worked at

Hey Renee! Good to hear from you. I didn’t know you were into these kind of conversations. You should have said something. I hope me being a pastor didn’t put you off bringing it up.

No, I never did get a letter about it and the first I knew of it was when I wanted to rebuttle Brian on his blog and found I was not allowed to do so. They do not want anyone to disagree with them on anything, when they are just a bunch of young know-nothings. They never said one word to me about being actually banned. They threatened it and I quit posting for a while, then this crap and THAT’S how I found out I was banned. I really don’t care, because I can get my say in other ways.

Bob hasn’t ever mentioned the RRS, so I have doubts about him being involved with them. Yes, he has them as friends on his MySpace deal, but I doubt he knows what they are about. He doesn’t have time to mess around with the net too much and add to that, Rookie had no knowledge that Bob writes about the relationship to Mithra and alike, as well as talked about the parallel myths on a Minnesota Atheist podcast. So, I doubt they know Bob or that Bob knows them. He may know of them, but I don’t think he knows them.

Having been banned for pointing out Rooks obvious intellectual dishonesty making libelous charges against a great mythicists’ work Rook has never actually read.

That’s exactly what I did. I pointed out his theological and mythological errors~ as well as refuted his idea of a historical Jesus. He didn’t want to believe it was rewritten myth, threw a tantrum, cussed me out, next thing I knew they editted posts to make him look like the good guy and me the bad guy. Oh, but I don’t need to convince you, 22 and probably not any others here who know me, as well as my posting style.

Then they ban you and slander you. They do a lot of projecting, but that’s ok, even my Church of Christ friend agrees- those who know me will see it and know there is something completely wrong. That and she sees them as rebellious children too. She got that just by looking at what I showed her- Kelly’s juvenile poll, Brian’s childish blog, and the stint between Rookie and me- she’s not even a member, but she could still peek and see the raunchy mess and replied, “Don’t worry, time is on your side and those children will take a terrible fall unless they straighten up their act.” Of course, she encouraged me to get the word out about them too.

That’s what happened to me and my other friends there. Including Mriana. Brian is absolutely lying over at his blog when he pretends he didn’t ban Mriana or that it was just an accident.

I’m glad someone else knows and understands what is happening.

It is true, if you disagree with RRS or catch them being dishonest they will ban you.

Found that out the hard way, but I will not apologize for it. I think for myself and I will not allow anyone to do it for me. I’m too old not to think for myself and most definitely too old to allow a kid to tell me what to think.

The RRS is more like a pop radio show than any scholarly institute. And for Rook to consider himself a peer or “colleague” of Carrier, Price etc, is just fantasy.

ROFLMBO! Rookie’s not a scholar- none of them are. He doesn’t know anymore about religion than a lay fundie listening to their preacher. Everyone knows how I hate it when they don’t tell it the way it really is and well… Rookie missed the mark by a long long ways.

Maybe Rook wouldn’t have these issues if he weren’t just a juvenile punk with a high school education trying to pawn himself off as a “historian and ancient text expert.” He is anything but.

You are much stronger than I ever have been. Oh I’ll take that back… My latest was pretty strong.

Rook and the RRS have turned into an embarrassment to all Freethinkers everywhere.

Most definitely and this is one freethinker, as I said before, who will NOT apologize for thinking for myself.

The RRS is more like a pop radio show than any scholarly institute. And for Rook to consider himself a peer or “colleague” of Carrier, Price etc, is just fantasy. I’ve discussed Rook with them both and they are ready to distance themselves from him. He may have to find someone else to peer review his book. Maybe Rook wouldn’t have these issues if he weren’t just a juvenile punk with a high school education trying to pawn himself off as a “historian and ancient text expert.” He is anything but.

Good answers, Tao, and I can agree with what you said too.

I second that
