morality, in my opinion, is defined by the individual. what i consider immoral, you may consider moral, and vice-versa.
i don't believe in any set definition.

Well, according to my dictionary Morality means:
Degree of conformity to moral principles; moral conduct; moralizing.
Nope, don't see anything about religion.
According to you Jesus4U, anyone who isn't a Christian, isn't moral. I'm no Christian, does that mean I do bad things? I know right from wrong, which is more than I can say for a lot of so called Christians. I've never hurt or abused a child, can you say the same for a lot of priests.

"Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913)"
Morality Mo*ral"i*ty, n.; pl. Moralities. L. moralitas: cf.
F. moralit'e.
1. The relation of conformity or nonconformity to the moral
standard or rule; quality of an intention, a character, an
action, a principle, or a sentiment, when tried by the
standard of right.
The morality of an action is founded in the freedom
of that principle, by virtue of which it is in the
agent's power, having all things ready and requisite
to the performance of an action, either to perform
or not perform it. --South.
2. The quality of an action which renders it good; the
conformity of an act to the accepted standard of right.
Of moralitee he was the flower. --Chaucer.
I am bold to think that morality is capable of
demonstration. --Locke.
3. The doctrines or rules of moral duties, or the duties of
men in their social character; ethics.
The end of morality is to procure the affections to
obey reason, and not to invade it. --Bacon.
The system of morality to be gathered out of . . .
ancient sages falls very short of that delivered in
the gospel. --Swift.
4. The practice of the moral duties; rectitude of life;
conformity to the standard of right; virtue; as, we often
admire the politeness of men whose morality we question.
5. A kind of allegorical play, so termed because it consisted
of discourses in praise of morality between actors
representing such characters as Charity, Faith, Death,
Vice, etc. Such plays were occasionally exhibited as late
as the reign of Henry VIII. --Strutt.
6. Intent; meaning; moral. Obs.
Taketh the morality thereof, good men. --Chaucer.
I refuse to tie my hands behind my back and hear somebody say "Bend Over, Boy, Because You Have It Coming To You".

Not for their beliefs. He was banned for causing trouble on the forums, which *is* morally right.

he wasn't banned for his beliefs, he was banned for trying to force his beliefs on us, after we made it quite clear we weren't interested. Telling us we were all going to hell because we didn't believe in his god.

well.. I do believe brad should have warned him. Marty would have probably been able to handle this better. I gotta admit, I greatly enjoyed reading those religious debates and seeing his views being thrashed by others. I certainly dont think they caused an uproar.... well.. i guess we'll be hearing no more from J4U and will never be able to fight with him again

other religous people come here without bothering people though.
although i laughed, i think it is a bit severe to ban him.
