My dismay at what happens on the religion thread should not be misconstrued.

As a Missouri Synod Lutheran I comment and post frequently on the takeovers and attempted takeovers of various denominations and offshoots, including things like the continuing exodus of congregations from the ELCA Lutheran Synod whose leaders have become non-adherent to the Bible. These are examples of current religious news-of-the-day with political overtones and/or consequences.

Religion and politics intertwine constantly and the action of evildoers in any theology, religion or denomination is a legitimate arena of debate and information-sharing on a conservative news forum.

What I decry is endless bickering, personal attacks, vindictiveness, anal retention, divisiveness, obsessions, insults, holier-than-thou attitudes and the like on FR's religious AND news forums..... which consists of bitterly attacking or defending various basic DOCTRINES...which is something different than discussing current or breaking religious NEWS.

These are battles and wars that have been going on a thousand years and will never end. It's an endless spinning of wheels on FR, that's for sure....and to many, an unnecessary waste of space except to the veteran warriors.

Hey, Leni, I’m fee to be anal retentive if I want to be. /s

Having said that, I do understand your chief complaint.
