On "open" Religion Forum threads posters may condemn deities, beliefs, religious authorities, practices, groups of believers, etc.

I hope that will never be used to excuse anti-Semitism.

I note that no one likes to be attacked ad hominem. But everyone seems to enjoy attacking others that very way.

If the ethnic slurs used to describe rural American Fundamentalist Protestants by some FReepers were to be used of any other group, the poster would be banned as a bigot. It seems that on FR as in the main stream media, it's open season on Bubba.

Anti-Semitism is treated the same as racism. It is not tolerated at all anywhere on Free Republic.

ZC I hope that will never be used to excuse anti-Semitism.

Now, ZC, what if we take YOUR post 93 "The _____________ despises the simple people of rural America while celebrating pompous intellectuals and third world illiterates"

And in the blanks we put the word "Orthodox Jews" -- is that anti-semitism to you?

And take any of your posts where you post a number of slurs and insults against us, what if you replace the words "Church" with "Jews" -- aren't those anti-semitic statements then?

Quite frankly -- you want to believe in an earth that began in 3771 BC, believe it. Some Catholics believe it too, I may be one of them, but you never bothered to ask me if I did.

I pointed out on this thread and another (and another Catholic poster did so too) that The Church does not comment on this one way or the other, JUST that the Catholic MUST believe that God was the creative "force" (my own words).

This is similar to the tone of the Presbyterian Church of America (PCA) who state that The fact is that the (Presbyterian) Church, while affirming with one voice the creation of all things visible and invisible by the triune God, has not come to a unity of position on the matter of the nature and length of the days, as she has with regard to such doctrines as the Trinity and the Person of Christ. This indicates that the Westminster divines were correct in their affirmation that “all things in Scripture are not alike plain in themselves, nor alike clear unto all. . .” (WCF I, 7).

Yet I only see you attacking Catholics and not Presbyterians for holding the same "no comments". -- WHY?

Ditto for some Baptists who hold to old earth

Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary professor William Dembski’s book, The End of Christianity (B&H Academic), argued that the universe is billions of years old—rather than thousands, as young-earth creations contend—and that God brought death, decay and natural disasters to earth long before Adam and Eve sinned

Here you have Southern Baptists and Presbyterians arguing against your young-earth and I don't see you cursing them or calling them slurs -- why the animus against Catholicism? Is it just that it's easy to call us names and insult us?
