I would like to see the open religion forums closed. It disgraces Free Republic. There is nothing in them about faith or God or anything important. All I see is Catholic bashing. These people don’t seem to have anything to offer that would be pleasing to God. Nothing. Why would anyone want to be a Christian after reading one of these threads? It scandalizes believers. It’s a disgrace.

Then you need to pay more attention to the titles of the articles posted in the RF by the Catholics who post Protestant bashing threads.

Apparently you are a Catholic...We non Catholics post scripture after scripture pertaining to those things you mention...You obviously don't bother to read them because they are NOT IMPORTANT...Scripture is not so meaningless to Christians...

Scripture is very important to us and other Christians and especially to God...

Rom_10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Gal_3:2 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

Gal_3:5 He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

The Religion Forum certainly is the nastiest neighborhood at Free Republic.

This is a cause for shame. Ongoing shame. It probably means we should spend more time praying than posting. And more time loving than judging. Here I am, preaching to myself as Mrs. Don-o, offender.
