Ditto that. Why on earth FR HAS to have a Religious Forum beats me. There are really some obsessed people that post there, keeping up their perpetual passions for years on end. I've watched it for 12 years as it has degenerated into hatefulness, name-calling, nastiness and division among freepers....and the warfare never ends.

This is not an indictment of all who post there, of course. However, there are plenty of religious forums on the internet where those who seem to exist only for religious controversy and doctrinal dueling can post their piety or prejudices to their hearts' content.

On a related note. FR has been telling certain groups that they are not welcome. I wonder what impact that has on the length of time the fund raisers run.

We’ve been stuck on 12% for a while.

Regardless of the intent to keep things the way the owner wants, some of the hands that have been bitten did feed FR.

On that note, of late there seems to have been a number of Mormon - Christian dogfights bleeding over into News / Activism.

Do you see what I see? Indeed you do. I happen to believe those doing the degenerating, are not freepers at all, but they are sure using this board for their porpoises.

Oh, dear God! I just know you didn't say that. Well don't be upset if God loves me more than you. /s :-)

Fly paper. The Religion Forum was created to pull such topics out of News/Activism.

I agree!! Politics and religion don't mix.

In my frustration, I said this around 10 years ago; but as you can see, it didn’t do any good because it is still going on.

1. It's cheaper than a statue
2. We don't have to clean pigeon crap off of it.
 

 
 
 The LDS Organization® prints Hundreds of Thousands of THIS yearly!


  17 It no sooner appeared than I found myself delivered from the enemy which held me bound. When the light rested upon me I saw two Personages, whose brightness and glory defy all description, standing above me in the air. One of them spake unto me, calling me by name and said, pointing to the other—This is My Beloved Son. Hear Him!
  18 My object in going to inquire of the Lord was to know which of all the sects was right, that I might know which to join. No sooner, therefore, did I get possession of myself, so as to be able to speak, than I asked the Personages who stood above me in the light, which of all the sects was right (for at this time it had never entered into my heart that all were wrong)—and which I should join.
  19 I was answered that I must join none of them, for they were all wrong; and the Personage who addressed me said that all their creeds were an abomination in his sight; that those professors were all corrupt; that: “they draw near to me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me, they teach for doctrines the commandments of men, having a form of godliness, but they deny the power thereof.”
  20 He again forbade me to join with any of them; and many other things did he say unto me, which I cannot write at this time. When I came to myself again, I found myself lying on my back, looking up into heaven. When the light had departed, I had no strength; but soon recovering in some degree, I went home. And as I leaned up to the fireplace, mother inquired what the matter was. I replied, “Never mind, all is well—I am well enough off.” I then said to my mother,
“I have learned for myself that Presbyterianism is not true.”
 
 
The LDS headquarters; in the heart of a modern  US city, visited by THOUSANDS daily, has this placed in prominent view:
 
 
...which reiterates the charge that "they were all wrong; they teach for doctrines the commandments of men".
 



 
Guess who is very tired of this SLANDER and are not going to take it any more...?

So; you're going to let us GUESS who is doing this; eh?

What a perfectly liberal thing to say! You sound like those on the MSM who are howling about the rhetoric in Washington, which of course is a slam on the Team Party movement.
