Love it! Where did you get that music?

I agree with ytmnd1337. Users like Whetstone would be instantly victimized and their sites pushed so far down the hole they'd never see the light of day. That's effectively majoritarian censorship--so unless there were a categorization system in place to counteract that (still giving the site some visibility), then I don't think this idea flies. If there were some way to guarantee visibility even when downated, that might work. But that kinda defeats the purpose of altering the current system anyway.

Lave, on second thought I do think it'd be a lot better without the mild thrashing you gave Whetstone. If you're serious about being inclusive of other people's views, that stuff should probably go. Being critical is one thing, being abusive..that's something else. And to clarify the comment I left before, I was not implying Whetstone himself was belittling anybody--but a lot of people on both sides of this argument sure are.

Also Whetstone, apologies for saying that it was you who was belittling other people's views in the Pale Blue Dots comments section. To clarify, I think many people construe this as belittling their views-and also a good deal of commenters on both sides of the argument are doing just that to each other. I admire what you're trying to do for Christ-but like I said, I just think there are better ways to go about it.

I'm a Catholic and while I do believe in demons, possession, Satan, and Hell, I think you're approaching other people in a manner that completely turns them off to what you're trying to say. I'd recommend CS Lewis' "Mere Christianity" to see how an atheist became a believer. Using scare tactics to get people to convert doesn't elicit a true conversion--ideally you want people to belive something in their hearts, not do something out of fear. This has a good message, but its delivery is counterproductive.
