A Clarification Please... (Vanity)
Curious... | 8/16/21 | Openurmind

Posted on 08/16/2021 3:44:48 PM PDT by Openurmind

I would like some clarification as to the truth of the rules and situation here on the FR. Several times over the last few years it has been mandated by certain users that a prerequisite for participating here, conversing here, or donating here is mandated that you must first be a White Puritan Christian. No exceptions or you are considered a Troll. You must believe what they believe exactly or you should hit the highway.

Anyone else conservative or not, are to be considered as just trolls and should excommunicate themselves and leave. This is an important clarification. Because if the owner Jim feels that only Christians of a certain Christian sect are allowed equal respect here or not. That certain one sect needs to be shared. Those who are not of that particular sect deserve the right to know that their participation and donations are not actually appreciated.

Is see animosity between even sects of Christianity battling each other here. Hate for Mormons, Hate for Catholics from Christians, Hate for Christians from Catholics, God forbid anyone who comes here and is honest and says they are an Orthodox Christian from ETHIOPIA! So what is it? Is this a domain site rule and mandate or not? Those of us who believe in the first amendment and freedom of speech and religion would like to know what the parameters are. What sect exactly is a prerequisite to participate here?

Are non Christians allowed here at all? Can one believe in God without belonging to a formal religious sect? Are any other faiths allowed based on freedom of religion? Please make this very clear, because if there is an underlying prerequisite and unwritten rule, there are many of us here who are not quite pure Bible thumping (perfect mandated sect) conservatives and would really like to know. Is our own Constitutional right to believe as we like respected here or not?

It is important to know... If those who do not fit the "exact parameters" judged as a prerequisite mandate are not appreciated and not equally respected or not. What are these please? Do these prerequisite mandates even exist here? In this fight for our country is it wise to throw the baby out with the bath water? But this baby wants to know if my patriotism and efforts to create dialog, discussion, and traffic as a conservative which equate to revenue are appreciated or not... No matter what my stance on faith might be.

Is the 1st respected here or not? If not what are the restrictive parameters limited to as a private domain? If only White Puritan Christians are allowed here then it needs to shared what sect exactly of hundreds??? A curious mind would like to know...

I'm Jewish and been a FR member for 18 years.

"...mandated that you must first be a White Puritan Christian"

You say it like it's a bad thing.

Oh, for Pete’s sake. FR has LOTS of Jewish members who are very much part of the community. This place wouldn’t be recognizable without them. Next: “Puritan”? Seriously? We have just about every flavor of Christian imaginable here. Also: Catholics ARE Christians.

“White Puritan Christians”?

Pure distilled bullshit and not deserving of further comment.

I don't know but I've mentioned a few times but only when it's applicable to what I'm posting or when responding to someone else's post. Otherwise, it's irrelevant. If you check most of my posts you'll find that I'm a military veteran, a conservative and a strong Trump supporter.

Post some sources, or this secular Jew says it didn't happen. I've been here much longer, and haven't seen that mandated, even if most people here are Christian.

Why don't you go complain to the CRT folks that they can be dehumanizing to those who oppose their agenda, if you're really looking to help make the political scene more tolerant.

Why not?

This is what makes us strong. We are free to question questions no matter how questionable the answer.
