You or any one else could have asked at any time and I would have answered honestly. I have nothing to hide. The Thread was about Whether Jesus as the Bible portrays him would support Socialism and all I did was point out that one of the most fundamental principle of Christianity, the morality of self sacrifice for the good of others is also the principle that allows Socialism to be possible. Not one person on here even tried to deny that. It would be impossible to establish a socialist government on the principle that man has a right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. In order for Socialism or any other form of tyranny to work man must be stripped of his self esteem and that certainly is what the morality of self sacrifice does and that most certainly is what the doctrine of original sin is designed to do. It turns man into a sacrificial animal who exists to serve the purposes of others. It makes no difference whether he is to serve his neighbor,the state or a God. It is the same principle and that has absolutely nothing to do with atheism.

I am certainly aware that this site is a Christian site and I am aware That it is pro Capitalism. I am the arch enemy of Socialism. I am for complete unregulated Laissez Faire Capitalism. No one who reads my posting history will find a shred of evidence that I support Socialism.

Do you really want to shut down people who disagree with you? Is that the attitude of someone who is open to evidence and reason or is that the attitude of someone who is afraid to have his ideas challenged. Ideas should not be given dignity, only people should. There should be no idea that is immune from scrutiny. We should challenge every idea that we hold every day and never stop challenging them.

Keep in mind that atheism is to the Religion Forum what liberalism is to Free Republic altogether.

We do not seek or need advice or opinions regarding Christian principles from atheists. They should keep it to themselves or post elsewhere. Thanks!

I have absolutely no desire to shutdown people who don’t agree with God, family, country, but don’t want them filling our pages with their repugnant bile either. Atheists will have no problem from me posting their atheist regurgitation elsewhere on the net. I won’t try to stop them.
