I expect to be banned shortly. I've learned, sadly, that Free Republic is Fundie Republic and non-believers aren't welcome.
It's sad, really. Free Republic could have been a major player in the political world, but JR decided to hand it over to the cretards and IDiots.
It's been great, except the evolution and science threads.
No, only liberal, religion suppressing, big government supporters aren't welcome.
If you're willing to have the government dictate religion, then I guess FR isn't the place for you.
But why to you have to wait to be banned? You can leave any time you want.
Or is it that laurel wreath thingie? If you get banned, you can pretend that it's for supporting science instead of classic liberal agenda.
I have nothing to do with or about anyone being banned.
I think you have confused in your mind the word neutrality. Most especially placed in government control.
There is NOTHING neutral regarding evolution it is a method, a system of belief that has NO regard for the Creator. However, this nation was founded upon the very principal that there are certain unalienable rights that only are given by the Creator. The scientific methodology replaces the Creator having control of rights to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness.
You have the right to believe anything you desire, but you do not have the right to wall out the Creator from public education. The Creator is the ONLY neutral and objective judge.
You could try beginning by talking to people at an elementary level and leading them through what evolution is really saying, and some of the elementary science.
If you did it carefully enough, you might see how and why their objections originated -- enough that you could actually discuss the subject with *mutual* respect.
That'd be better than a LOT of flamewars.
Oh, for the nonce -- what is your educational background, since you implicitly seem to place undue stress on this area when challenging others?
Cheers!
Now go to the Sorbonne and fight this great injustice of state funding of religion.
Or (if you have a shred of balls or intellectual honesty) go do the same in Islamabad or Iran...
(Hint: Christians don't have to go in person, tho' they have suffered many more martyrdoms than the atheists, who mainly participate in circle-jerks among friendly University types, rather than being speared to death). Christians believe in action at a distance. It's called "Prayer".
Cheers!
One thing I've found to be true in life is that there is a vast, vast difference between a non-believer and a putz. When the putzes get banned for being putzes, they always figure it's because they're non-believers. If that were true, you all would have been gone years ago.
This ain't Putz Republic. Go back to DC...or better yet, DU.
You should sample the MORMON vs Christian threads! ;^)
