  1. I raised what I feel to be a legitimate concern, nevertheless, I had stopped posting before an individual began a personal attack against me with lies and childish rantings.

     

    Jeremy said that religious leaflets that advertise religion are advertisements. And advertisments are inappropriate. I quote him here, and I'll stop posting as long as I'm not attacked personally.

     

    ***********************************************

    "Regardless of your opininon of religion in general, each individual has to make a decision about what is right and what is not. Personally, if I find something offensive in a cache I replace it with an item in my backpack. We as a group need to tolerate each other's beliefs.

     

    With that said, since overtly political/commercial items are considered off-limits in a cache, so are overtly religious items. In overtly I mean that you drop in a leaflet that says "where will you go when you die?" or some other "join ** religion" it should be removed (no trade). Advertising is advertising.

     

    However, if you want to drop a WWJD bracelet in a cache, that's your business. But if you decide to drop in a pamphlet in a cache, others have the right to remove it.

     

    Discussing this topic is akin to pouring gas on a fire. Don't bother. There's no point to it and you aren't going to change anyone's mind anyway.

     

    Closing this topic.

    Happy Caching!

  2. You did say several, that's not two. Thus It seems you are the antagonistic troll. My post was not intended to stir up controversy. It was to raise a legitimate concern for the geocaching community. There were several posts in support of my concerns. But I see you responses have been childish, immature, and lacking any rational response towards the (like it or not) legitimate issue whatsoever.

     

    You are a spoiled brat.

    And a good driver too!

  3. I posted it in the General forum, and the local forum. That's neither several times, nor is it all over the site. That makes Makaio either the idiot or a liar. You deal with it!

  4. For Basoon; Sure as long as you don't object Al-Qaeda literature then I'm fine with it!

     

    As to the link, I didn't include it because the literature was paper in the cache, not on the web page. The cache web page looks like any other. I presume the literature was added by a cache visitor.

  5. I object to religious literature in caches. If we tolerate christian literature, then we must accept Devil worshipping literature, Atheistic literature, Political Literature, and business advertising literature. Do we really want our kids opening a cache that has literature advocating sacrificing chickens, or lambs, (or even humans) for worship purposes? How about Al-Qaeda or Taliban propaganda? Well I don't want mine exposed to christian propaganda either!

     

    Why can't Christians be content with their own faith? (and leave others alone!) Why must they push it in people's faces? It's insulting and exposes the christian's own discomfort and dissatisfaction with their own faith. Otherwise their inner peace would allow them to live at ease with those who see the world differently.

     

    This is a fun game that can remain fun without politcal/religious/business complications. Lets keep it that way
