FR is not exclusively a Christian board. Period. Christians have no monopoly on conservatism or morality.

I guess what I said went over your head. Let me break it down for you:

1. This is not Japan or some similar type country having no Christian heritage. The Pilgrims were here first, their types played a major role in the founding of this country.

2. When Joseph Smith started his golden plates religion, the 19th century, Christian America was appalled, everyone knew it was a fraud and not the Christianity of our predecessors. Which is why, to find them a place apart from Christian opposition, they moved to Utah.

3. “Conservative,” by definition, seeks to conserve. FR being an American conservative site, would seek to conserve America’s Christian heritage, and would be opposed to such things as Mormonism, a departure from Christian beliefs that long predated Mormonism.

3. Hence, your assertion that FR is not a Christian board is false by definition. This being America with a Christian heritage going back to the Pilgrims, and FR being a conservative board, by definition it is Christian.
