It took awhile to notice. Yes, I've been posting to articles for a long time. Yet, today I noticed a mild type of propaganda as I posted a reply to an article.
Each time that I typed koran my computer prompted me to capitalize it. However when I typed Bible, un-capitalized, there was no such prompt. Why?
Then I typed islam and Christian as a test and there it was again, 'the prompt'.
A prompt was given to capitalize islam but no such prompt for Christian.
This.......must stop. A demand to hold the so-called religion of islam above the true religion of our Christian Bible is a subtle form of propaganda.
Absolute baloney.
But you aren’t alone in this belief, as there are others who agree. I’ve met them, over and over again. I always ask, “Where is YOUR several thousand year old “book”?
I’ve noticed a lot of MSM publications don’t capitalize Bible anymore, but I haven’t noticed it with the spell checkers.
I just tried it and the FR spellchecker wants to capitalize both islam and koran but not Bible-had to do it manually. The word “Christian” was automatically capitalized.
That’s blatantly false.
As a rule I will not capitalize islam, koran, mohammad or anything else related to that cult of death.
I heard that argument before but I have faith that God is wise enough to make sure that His Word will remain intact and be sufficient to teach, guide, and give us salvation until His return.
I wasn’t referring to FreeRepublic. I was referring to every post to every article from any source.
What rule is this? Ridiculous. Capitalizing proper nouns has nothing to do with respect. It is about adhering to the established rules of written English language.
Don't like Islam? That's fine, but refusing to capitalize proper nouns is no less ignorant than trying to argue that 2+2=5 because you don't like 4.
Psalm 40:7 Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me.
Because the "system" has become hating of the true and living God, run by satan and his cohorts. It is obvious and becoming more so all the time. They are fools and shall soon know it.
That,too, was my thought.
