I have been here for eight years, and I have never encountered any of those individuals. Probably because I DO NOT SEEK OUT THOSE THREADS.

Perhaps that advise is a little late in coming, but whatever. See yah.

What has become of the FreeRepublic I joined so long ago?

March wasn't ALL that long ago.

“Yet, under the protection of the owner of the site, these very few have had the audacity to instill their beliefs into the core of what was once a great conservative site, and is now one that determines your conservatism by your acceptability of Creation Science.”

Uh.... Yeah, right. If I’m reading this right, the writer thinks we should ban people who believe in Creation Science. Sounds more like the Dummie site to me.

LOL- Assuming htsi is wacka- the ‘great farethewell’ by someone who is guiklty of everythign they’ve stated in their ‘condemnation’ of htose they dissagree with- This ‘small intolorant group’ you speak of has posted science article after science article- and folks like you have taken it upon yourself to hound those articles tryign to shut htem down- keyword spamming htem with insult after insutling keywords, engaged in ad hominem attacks agaisnt hte posters of hte sceintific articles, and you’ve REFUSED to engage in anythign even remotely resembling civil discussion.

you’ve made it your mission to hound htose you dissagree with, and have, as the other poster pointed out- sought out every scientific article you can find posted here on FR to engage i nthis behavior.

Practically every single scientific Article supporting Creation or ID is immediately struck by drive by insulters

[[I will not miss the tolerated religious bigotry, the insulting, uneducated, demeaning tripe that passes for knowledge by those few who would dictate to the rest. ]]

Nor wil lwe miss you’rs- if you didn’t like it being thrown back at you- then perhaps you shouldan’t have started it in the first place- so please- enoiug already- just another ‘farethewell’ thread by someone who can dish it out, but throws a fit when they get it in return. your whole post is NOTHING but religious bigotry, the insulting, uneducated, demeaning tripe that passes for knowledge by those few who would dictate to the rest- insulting htose you dissagree with- but hten again, in your mind, you’re ‘innocent’ of all charges eh?

Farethewell

I get the religious threads and I don't think I've cared one way or another. Read the threads and believe what you see fit or ignore the things. Now, there's a concept.

Frankly I find the evolutionists cranky, condescending and cocky. There can be a thread about an archaeological find and some wise ass on the first or second post always whines, “How can this be? The Earth is only 6,000yo.”. Blah, blah, blah. Instead of intellectual debate there is only potshots and snide remarks.

Good riddance. Go find a humanist forum where you can agree with everyone all day long.

Tell Pistolshot to quit being a baby and get back in the game.

Life is a contact sport. If you need a timeout, take it, but at some point you are going to have to get back in the game.

I don’t read those threads. Those people are nuts.

And I will, if ever needed, go without an opus.

[[This type of religious fanaticism degrades this forum to the very thing that the DUmmies expect from FR, intolerance of others. ]]

LOL- seems ot me you’re the o ne being intolorant of those who Beleive in God’s word and stand up for their beliefs.

[[There are many religions in this world, and many beliefs in a different ‘god’.]]

And TRUE Christians beleive htere is only one TRUE God, and I find it pretty intolorant of you to suggest that we don’t have the right to suggest that or express that, and that you suggest that because soem on FR do infact express that that FR has become ‘a group of fanatical Nazis’ (in your own words and intimations)

[[This is the worst kind of fanaticism as it pits a particular religious belief against an individuals ability to think.]]

Mmmm No- not so much- IF you don’t want an argument with a Christian, Don’t attack their beleif, or suggest to them that they are fanatics like you’ve done throughout your thread

[[Yet, under the protection of the owner of the site, these very few have had the audacity to instill their beliefs into the core of what was once a great conservative site,]]

You’ve certainly made it crystal clear that you don’t tolorate opposing views on a public forum, and have becoem so upset that TRUE Christians woudl have the audacity to present material and evidence supporting hteir viewpoints, that you’re goign to leave? Wow! Just Wow!

[[It has now become a site that determines your conservatism based on rejection of Mormonism, the Roman Catholic faith, atheism, on any religious belief but their own, and not on conservative values that have nothing to do with religious beliefs, but on what is best for the country and what we revere as America.]]

Again- mmmm no- not so much- it determiens the DEGREE of conservativism- As you ful lwell shoudl know, there ARE degrees of conservatism- Far right, middle of the road, and left- IF you’re middle or left- then wear that badge with pride isntead of yelling about the far right- Agree to dissagree instead of yelling about htose hwo are different than you- As I said in my last post- that’s ALL that folsk like Wacka did- yell yell yell -following GGG around and yelling- tryign to shut down all his htreads- or derail them- NEVER discussing hte issues-

[[Recently, there has been a new creeping fascism by a small group of Creation Science believers into FR. These few individuals would have you believe that the Earth is 6000 years old, there is no other belief other than Jesus Christ, a great flood killed everyone and everything, leaving only a few survivors on a boat, which make little sense, ]]

Are you so insecure in your positions that you can’t allow them to beleive what they do? To allow them to post their views right alongside beliefs about evolution or atheism or any other topic?

[[Even those who do not adhere to the Christian belief should be free to choose what and how they think, and not be condemned by the few who see nothing but their way and dismiss their conservative values.]]

Again -the whole ‘dishing out but can’t take it’ saying applies here- Evos relentlessly followed GGG’s threads around condemning him and other Creationsits who posted in his threads- cosntantly

[[Please remove my name from all ping lists.

Goodbye]]

Yeah- whatever

This kind of fanaticism was used by Hitler against the Jews and just about every other race and culture, by the Italians against the African Continent, and by the Japanese against the Chinese.

If you can equate disallowed rejoinders within Jim Robinson's private virtual livingroom with the oppression of evil totalitarian governments then perhaps you didn't need to be here after all.

I also have a couple of thoughts that don't always tack to the prevailing wind but, to continue the metaphor, I have no need to rent sails and stop the voyage over inconsequential differences.

WOW.

Hmmmmm . . . .

I do not believe in a 6,000 year young earth.

I am a fierce Pentecostal Fundamentalist Christian.

Some of the evolutionists folks are every bit as rabidly hostile, narrow, rigid, clueless as some of the hyper-Creationist 6,000 year old earth folks are.

And, personally, if I were to choose an error . . . I would prefer the Creationist one vs one from hell.

In an era when the literal devil is using every trick in the book to undermine and shred Scripture, Christianity and our culture based on such . . . it’s understandable that some folks think FIERCE SUPPORT OF SCRIPTURE IS A HIGH PERIORITY—A HIGHER PRIORITY than a LOT of other things.

Nevertheless, A RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS THE CHRIST IS THE PRIORITY—NOT EVEN THE TRUTHFUL PHILOSOPHICAL SYSTEM BUILT ON HIST TEACHINGS is AS high a priority.

I hate seeing conservatives fracture and get at each other’s throats over lesser priorities . . . only the enemy wins.

However, the enemy is insidious in his infiltrations and distractions from our core values and core priorities. And this contentious era is going to get worse in terms of such conflicts.

May God have mercy on all who trust Him and support His values and priorities.

Anytime Hitler is invoked in any form in a post, the debate is lost. Which sort of blows it for me in the way of an opus. I’ll rate this one a 4, mostly because it rambles an awful lot, invokes the Hitler meme, and really, the whole ‘you can’t fire me, I quit’ ideal always comes across as sour grapes. I’m being generous in the spirit of the holidays.

This is what you Darwin Central geniuses never get. Stay away from the Creationists. If they believe in what is to you a laughable concept, so what. Stay away from them.

It is not like fighting over global warming where there are big financial and policy implications over the theory. Nobody is going to raise taxes or energy prices over Creation Science.
