I would like some clarification as to the truth of the rules and situation here on the FR. Several times over the last few years it has been mandated by certain users that a prerequisite for participating here, conversing here, or donating here is mandated that you must first be a White Puritan Christian. No exceptions or you are considered a Troll. You must believe what they believe exactly or you should hit the highway.
Anyone else conservative or not, are to be considered as just trolls and should excommunicate themselves and leave. This is an important clarification. Because if the owner Jim feels that only Christians of a certain Christian sect are allowed equal respect here or not. That certain one sect needs to be shared. Those who are not of that particular sect deserve the right to know that their participation and donations are not actually appreciated.
Is see animosity between even sects of Christianity battling each other here. Hate for Mormons, Hate for Catholics from Christians, Hate for Christians from Catholics, God forbid anyone who comes here and is honest and says they are an Orthodox Christian from ETHIOPIA! So what is it? Is this a domain site rule and mandate or not? Those of us who believe in the first amendment and freedom of speech and religion would like to know what the parameters are. What sect exactly is a prerequisite to participate here?
Are non Christians allowed here at all? Can one believe in God without belonging to a formal religious sect? Are any other faiths allowed based on freedom of religion? Please make this very clear, because if there is an underlying prerequisite and unwritten rule, there are many of us here who are not quite pure Bible thumping (perfect mandated sect) conservatives and would really like to know. Is our own Constitutional right to believe as we like respected here or not?
It is important to know... If those who do not fit the "exact parameters" judged as a prerequisite mandate are not appreciated and not equally respected or not. What are these please? Do these prerequisite mandates even exist here? In this fight for our country is it wise to throw the baby out with the bath water? But this baby wants to know if my patriotism and efforts to create dialog, discussion, and traffic as a conservative which equate to revenue are appreciated or not... No matter what my stance on faith might be.
Is the 1st respected here or not? If not what are the restrictive parameters limited to as a private domain? If only White Puritan Christians are allowed here then it needs to shared what sect exactly of hundreds??? A curious mind would like to know...
What are you wearing?)
Hey, you’re a White Puritan Christian now ! ;-D
OUTCH..! Are you speaking to me.? I was merely responding to what Openurmind said in the article... The “White Puritan Christian” statement was made Openurmind, not I.. Now here I lie all bruised and bloody, and I'm totally Innocent..! Innocent I tell ya..!!
“177
Not bad.
Looks like you might need some Nomex clothing.”
Lol... I knew it would... :)
But seriously, this really needs to be aired...
I am sick of the tit for tat “Jim’s rules are” and then absolute puritanism without an deviation from it being thrown around.
Well... I was hit in the “News” forum, The rest of the site is ripe for dictation of religion. Come on... Give me a break... Is there NOWHERE one can be their own selves and discuss things without religion being forced on them???
At least that one forum! Come on! :)
If you want a private religious thread, declare it a Caucus for Members Only.
See this is exactly what I am talking about. I was raised Southern hell fire Baptist. Why are you dogging out the Methodists???
Subconscious hate for another sect? Thank you for the example I am trying to share...
Are Baptists hated as much as the Methodists????????????????
Every time I do a vanity thread, I donate to FR. That’s the rules.
Did you donate today?
5.56mm
I had a FReeper tell me I was not allowed to complain about any thing on FR because I did not fill out a profile.
bwwwahahahaha And you believed them? I’m going to laugh about that all day :)
awesome chuckles. thanks
I read it a few years ago and was surprised because I thought the evangelicals were. But I thought about it and spoke to some Baptists and I concluded that they were right. It might have been The Economist. It was a drawing of a tree with all the Christian branches and twigs. Very interesting.
It makes sense to me because both Puritans and Baptists insist that members of their church live their life according to what they believe. You can’t go to service on Sunday and then screw around the rest of the week.
But other people said it was the concept of the priesthood of the believers. That should be a mark of every Christian however.
Maybe some Baptists can help out.
Yes I did call you anti-God, I perceive your actions as anti-God and I noted over on that other thread that you did not defend being anti-God. Once you meekly said, the same way you just did now, that you are not anti-God. Notably you don’t post what you ARE. You don’t really defend your stance with any data or perspective. You just like to harass freepers about biblical historicity without having the knowledge to back it up.
So, yeah, you deserved such treatment.
I did assume it I posted what I thought and you did not fight against it. You barely fight against it now.
I posted no “rules” whether they’re in quotes or not. We are allowed to discuss religion in the news forum and indeed, you were the first to offer your invalid religious opinion.
I am not stalking you. You told me you were gonna post this to JimRob’s attention after you paid your vanity fee or whatever it is you’re calling it, and you did so. I am free to engage you on this thread. This bullshiite of claiming I’m stalking you is pure bullshiite because we DISCUSSED it on the other thread. I SAID I would be calling you on your behavior. https://freerepublic.com/focus/news/3985064/posts?page=182#182
Yes, this post cost me 50 bucks... I think every self righteous arrogant ******* should go and drop a dime too....
What do you think? Want to have to right to judge then buy that right...
Sounds fair to me...
I read that statement as a conditional... “IF I was an orthodox blahdeblah....”
I told you I would key up on your trolling and logical fallacy behavior.

I got no PM from faucetman. I sent no PM to faucetman.
Now I feel left out.
Faucetman, somehow this is your fault ;-)

I’ve been posting here since 2008 or 2009. Sometimes I get hints of animosity, but only from trolls who I know from other websites - they’re just pretending to be...what did you call it? “White puritan Christian”....? If they’re hating on me, the Xtians that is, I sure can’t tell. (Maybe it’s because I’m stupid!?)
I’ve only been posting a lot here recently because I’m banned from every other site and I’m too lazy to make new accounts. It’s their g*******d loss, right? SCREW that f*g Jack D0rsey anyway!
“Freerepublic” mods haven’t warned me yet so I must not be f***ing up too badly.
Traditionally, I don’t get banned from a site until I’ve donated to it - some pathetic amount like $10, which is all I can afford. (Ok, more than I can afford.) They’ll be like, “This wench posts like hell here and upsets all the crimi- ah, regular paying posters who are all deep thinkers, who use our site! And TEN DOLLARS is all she’s going to give us for putting up with her ridiculous crap!? GOODBYE, B****!!!” And down I go.
This is why I haven’t donated to “freerepublic” yet.
Ah...what was the question, again?
“DO WE BELIEVE IN FREEDOM OF REGION HERE OR NOT???”
Easy there bud, you’re gonna blow a
gasket. Your anger is affecting your
ability to spell.
His words:
God forbid anyone who comes here and is honest and says they are an Orthodox Christian from ETHIOPIA!
That is NOT a claim to be orthodox. It is a conditional allegorical example, not a self-claim.
And elsewhere he says he is NOT a christian.
Dammit, olog, I have not sent nor received any PM from you. I’m feeling left out again. No one sends me the memo.
Somehow this is your fault.
Baptists do insist that living tje Christian life not just be a Sunday thing.
We have responsibilities to be a good Witness, to evangelize, and to call out evil when we see it.
Hth, ‘Pod.
