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...
Some people on the left can’t stand it that this site is full of folks that support Israel.
That is for sure, but I wouldn’t trade it for any other forum. I think FR is great and the posters are great.
I would imagine there are more than a few atheists here as well…..[cringe..]
I only have problems when they turn the “news” forum into a religious forum and dictate how folks should think.
Was it humblegunner? ‘Cause we can’t watch him all of the time.
Have any of them made you change your mind?
There aren’t any. You are on your own to hash it out with others.
Do not take things too seriously either. There are no mandates although some people make up their own.
If you get upset. Say good bye and take a break from it.
Why can’t we all just get along?
Now that there made me laugh. Who let the dog (hg) out?
“No such rules.
Relax.
Post (nicely), and enjoy life here.”
Lol, I know my friend. You know what kind of person I really am. I am all about helping others first. I know am a moral person. And that is what counts...
But it would be nice to know what the rules are here. If there are specific parameters I need to know...
So do others... “)
You have to admit the Class of ‘98 could be pretty rough. But yes, we are way past the fun silliness of the “All your Base” days.
Post your crap. If it’s gay, we will melt your snowflake
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
***Mandated? Where has any one “Mandated” it? Show us. You’re just starting to engage your standard exaggerate-hyperbole-straw argumenting because you can’t defend your own position.
by certain users that a prerequisite for participating here,
***Bullshiite. It is merely a means of pointing out that you are an anti-God activist operating on a Pro-God site as a troll.
conversing here, or donating
***I told you, if you brought up this bullshiite ‘donating’ red herring then I would be all over it. You are a disingenuous poster.
here is mandated
***There you go again.
that you must first be a White Puritan Christian.
***Straw argument. Where has anyone said that? Nowhere. You imagine it so you argue against it.
No exceptions or you are considered a Troll.
***You are anti-God operating on a Pro-God website so I do consider you a Troll.
You must believe what they believe exactly or you should hit the highway.
***I’ll throw down my historicity-supported beliefs against your whatever-atheist bullshiite any day. You have not taken up that challenge. Your beliefs are fringe.
Anyone else conservative or not
***Jimrob posted the definition of conservative and I point y’all to it. If you don’t fit the definition then you should be a far more polite troll than you have been, troll.
, are to be considered as just trolls and should excommunicate themselves and leave.
***Or perhaps accept the historicity throwdown? Or accept that you are operating as an anti-God troll on a pro-God website and simply be more polite about it, troll. Or STFU where your poorly formed opinions are viewed with proper skepticism.
This is an important clarification.
***I agree.
Because if the owner Jim feels that only Christians of a certain Christian sect are allowed equal respect here or not.
***You need to read the book “Mere Christianity” by eminent scholar CS Lewis. Then you’ll know the dividing line between a fake christian and a real christian, it rests on whether they accept Jesus as God Himself. Then at least you would be informed in your criticism.
That certain one sect needs to be shared.
***The deity of Christ cuts across all sects, and the denial of that deity of Him is a filter to reveal the wolves among the sheep. You simply do not know what you are talking about.
Those who are not of that particular sect
***Mere christianity is not a sect. So once again you are posting a straw argument.
deserve the right to know that their participation
***Your participation on the parts of JimRob’s definition where you are NOT conservative, those participations are not appreciated.
and donations are not actually appreciated.
***Again you tie in donations as a red herring, once again employing an obfuscation tactic and a classic fallacy.
Is see animosity between even sects of Christianity
***So what? You do not claim to be a christian so leave that problem to us. Noneya bizness.
battling each other here. Hate for Mormons, Hate for Catholics from Christians, Hate for Christians from Catholics,
***Not your problem. Not your circus, not your monkeys.
God forbid anyone who comes here and is honest
***You are NOT honest.
and says they are an Orthodox Christian from ETHIOPIA!
***Your example fell flat.
So what is it?
***I think it is a call to get you to take a critical thinking class. There may be some here who would be willing to pay for it.
Is this a domain site rule and mandate
***There you go again with that mandate bullshiiite straw argument.
or not?
***Since your question has a logical fallacy attached to it, the answer would probably be fallacious as well.
Those of us who believe in the first amendment
***Like us christians. Or are you somehow special?
and freedom of speech and religion
***Like us christians. Or are you somehow special?
would like to know what the parameters are.
***You ain’t lookin’ for honest parameters, you are exaggerating the opposition looking for a fight.
What sect exactly is a prerequisite to participate here?
***Look at JimRob’s definition. Where you fall short in the definition of conservative, then be more polite and learn to STFU, take a critical thinking class, and figure out how to articulate your differences to that definition in a polite fashion. You don’t do that.
Are non Christians allowed here at all?
***Of course they are.
Can one believe in God without belonging to a formal religious sect?
***Of course they can. Why do you seem to be arguing against a bunch of stuff that no one says? Pure straw argumentation.
Are any other faiths allowed based on freedom of religion?
***Of course they are.
Please make this very clear, because if there is an underlying prerequisite and unwritten rule,
***Speaking of unwritten rules, you implied there was one that you have to donate to FR in order to post a vanity. Care to clarify on THAT?
there are many of us here who are not quite pure Bible thumping (perfect mandated sect)
***Bible believers are NOT a sect. Get your terms straight before you post a ridiculous vanity.
conservatives
***I question your conservatism.
and would really like to know. Is our own Constitutional right to believe as we like respected here or not?
***It is respected. Show some respect for those of us who are Pro-God on a Pro-God website since you are not pro-God. Notice how you’ve gone through this whole vanity without posting what your ridiculous beliefs ARE?
It is important to know... If those who do not fit the “exact parameters” judged as a prerequisite mandate
***No one said prerequisite. No one said Mandate. So quit straw-arguing against it. Learn to put together a coherent sentence. Take that critical thinking class.
are not appreciated
***Well, I know I don’t appreciate your bullshiite but I speak only for myself.
and not equally respected or not.
***An anti-God troll operating on a Pro-God website does not deserve equal respect.
What are these please?
***JimRob’s definition of conservative was posted. It sounds like ya got a problem with it.
Do these prerequisite mandates
***There you go again, straw-arguing troll.
even exist here?
***No, especially NO the way you keep describing it in such bullshiite terms.
In this fight for our country is it wise to throw the baby out with the bath water?
***Anti-God activists like you are not the baby. Pro-God activists on a pro-God website are the baby. You’re the bathwater.
But this baby wants to know
***You aint the baby, you’re the bathwater.
if my patriotism and efforts to create dialog,
***I have been on the other side of your “efforts to create dialog” and you really need to hunker down on this and take a critical thinking class.
discussion, and traffic as a conservative which equate to revenue
***There you go again with that red herring of revenue, troll.
are appreciated or not
***your trolling efforts are not appreciated.
... No matter what my stance on faith might be.
***This is a pro-God website. You are an anti-God activist. That makes you a troll, that is your stance on faith.
Is the 1st respected here or not?
***Yes of course it is. That is why you have been allowed to operate. But now you feel uncomfortable with sunlight, hoping to spread your message in the shadows.
If not what are the restrictive parameters limited to as a private domain?
***Some sort of gobbledegook straw argument question.
If only White Puritan Christians are allowed here
***Sigh. Again. Straw Argument. Take a critical thinking class.
then it needs to shared what sect exactly of hundreds???
***Ask that question without the word ‘sect’ in it. Pretend like you take the bible seriously as a historical book. Ask your questions honestly rather than as a troll.
A curious mind would like to know...
***You posted an entire vanity post as a troll, not as a curious mind. You’re looking for a fight.
I am a half-breed Mojave, born of an Italian Catholic woman, and of a motorcycle traveled, military experienced, and formerly ‘experienced a la Jimi’ ‘off the rez’ Mojave father. I am more libertarian than conservative, but never neither liberal nor socialist nor communist. I have been among the pentecostal, the Messianic Jews, the non-denominagtionals. Now, I am housebound, and have been more than 5 years.
Been active for 17 years, lurked around for 4 before I joined and I have no clue what you are talking about. I’ve never asked nor been asked about religion . This is mostly a political discussion group and we can smell a troll a mile off. If you just pop in here to ridicule or throw childish tantrums or pitch whatever you think will infuriate the most people, forget it.
No, you are not answering
Why? Why to you NEED to document it?
I’m a corrupt black atheist. Never had any issues here.
