Exactly. And I hope so... That is how it should be... I am being old that this site only allows participation from an approved sect God fearing members, and that if you are not then you need to take a hike and leave.
—”Puritan Christian”
Perhaps you could define your terms?
I do not keep up and was under the perhaps mistaken impression that the Puritans had mostly gone by the wayside?
Wouldn’t “Puritan Christian” exclude Roman Catholics and many others?
Thanx
Totally false. Puritans (Calvinists) have traditionally gotten rough treatment on the Religion sub board.
What do you mean by Puritan? The Baptists are the heirs of the Puritans.
“I see animosity between even sects of Christianity battling each other here.”
Oh my goodness gracious! I have never heard if such a thing! And at FR, of all places.
Um, ever heard of Martin Luther? Ireland?
You don’t yet understand FR, or the world, it seems.
I smell ozone...
I would think you as a non Christian should be every bit as welcome to any social media platform. Every bit as much as Jesus Christ is welcomed into public schools. But I digress
As long as they aren’t Romney cultists.
“ I’m Jewish and been a FR member for 18 years. ”
Same here. Jim, is there something we need to know? /lol
“Mistaking opinion for hate.”
A truly leftist/progressive trait. Or, doing it not mistakenly but purposely, intending to demonize the opposition.
Thank you for one of the more amusing posts in a while. I can always use a good laugh.
I’ve been here for years and never found it a home for bigotry. FR has published material for and against the present Pope. Certainly, there are some who will post, “The Pope is an idiot,” and others who will write “The Pope is a Saint.” You can dump those responses in File X while reading the usual thoughtful appraisals. As for anti-Semitism, in all my years there have been a few posts that have bled through, but the individuals are usually put in their place. Thankfully, the Gaiia, Isis, Astarte, Cybele cultists have not found a home here.
I would guess that after posting something foolish you had your head handed to you. Forget it, move on. Even Plato had his bad days.
Mods are way too lenient lately.
Moronic s**t-stirrers like this (puritan Christians?) should zotted outright.
Instead we just leave the trash laying around to stink the place up.
>>>“White Puritan Christians”?<<<
I bet I think this song is about me . . . don’t I . . . don’t I!
“Perhaps you could define your terms?”
I doubt she understands her terms.
Certainly Methodists and Baptists (except perhaps those subscribing to the London Baptist Confession of 1689 - but we need to keep an eye on them.)
Dang, dude. You are as disingenuous as Dick Nixon selling used car insurance.
For the lurkers among us, this thing got started with ClosedMind right here on another thread:

The guy does not know how to argue. He is dishonest. He uses classic fallacies. He needs to take a writing class. He put down a challenge to throwdown over the historicity of the bible, I accepted it rather than the freeper he posted to and he’s been running away mumbling since then.
I’ll go through his vanity line by line.
“I also believe in Freedom of Religion.”
Leftists/proggressives believe in Freedom FROM Religion.
(Regional or not 😄)
:) It is,it is.
