Thanks Jim, for all you do...even if you do ignore my warnings about the Christian abduction of your site...not that there’s anything wrong with that...unless that dampens one’s enthusiasm at freepathon time.
Christian abduction??? OMG!!!
Quix was right!!! But.......
I'm still here. Oh noes!!!
Alright already yet . . .
This noise about “Christian Abduction” of FR is getting to be more than a little disturbing.
1. There wouldn’t be a Republic of the US of A anything close to what we know without Christianity.
2. Jim’s Gracious support of prayer threads will likely go down in the history of the multiverse as greatly more lasting and of greatly more eternal import than even the other great patriotic benefits of FR and all the other benefits of FR.
3. Just who do you think comprises . . . what . . . 95% . . . at least 90% of AMERICAN CONSERVATIVES??? So, you think that whining about and trashing 90+% of FR makes sense? Sounds almost like liberal troll logic, to me.
4. Christianity for any of us close-to-authentic-Christians is NOT some idle, occasionally-bother-with hobby.
5. Christianity pervades all of our lives. It particularly saturates our values, our concerns, our construction on reality and particularly our construction on political realities in a world of rapidly encroaching, CONSUMING GLOBALISM/SOCIALISM/COMMUNISM. We cannot discuss political, social and economic issues meaningfully without including significant chunks of our Christianity. It’s just not reality based, just not Christianity and just not CONSERVATISM. It also wouldn’t be FR as we have known it and come to help create it.
6. Christians are particularly targeted for extermination by said globalism—along with the US Constitution and life as we know it. DO YOU THINK THAT’S OF NO CONSEQUENCE?
7. Seriously committed Christian FREEPERS are the most motivated, politically active, diligent, prayerful, contributing, creative problem solvers etc. that exist on FR. Trash us at your own risk.
8. The Religion Moderator not that long ago has exhorted folks whining like you to reset your preferences for NEWS/ACTIVISM every time you log on if you wish to avoid RELIGION FORUM threads. The default is ALL FORUM. Someone recently said FR doesn’t operate that way any more. I don’t know what the truth is about that.
9. It doesn’t matter. Page Down and Scroll buttons work on most computers/keyboards. If you aren’t patient enough to deal with the preferences of 90+% of FR’s most energetic, committed and contributive constituents, then maybe this place is just TOOOOO CHRISTIAN for you to bother with.
10. I’d suggest trying to find a conservative group of 1.3 million atheists and agnostics but I don’t think that would be anything but a vain futile exercise.
11. As long as the globalists allow Christians to exist and FR to exist, we will be here. And you and everyone else had best be jolly well EXTREMELY THANKFUL FOR THAT.
12. Yes, religion is a passionate thing that most committed Christians care supremely about and are quite quick to engage in fiercely energetic and emotional haggling over. What else is new. Wars have been fought over such. There we just fray one another’s sensibilities about our differing Biblical and historical perspectives on walking with God and one another. We’d all—at least almost all—Don O can speak for himself—we’d all still rush to stand shoulder to shoulder in the trenches against the globalists and other supremely murderously destructive idiots from hell in a flash. And be honored and glad to do it.
AND ANY FREEPER WITH A BRAIN ABOVE THAT OF A SLUG HAD BEST BE JOLLY WELL THANKFUL FOR THAT FACT.
10. I’d suggest trying to find a conservative group of 1.3 million atheists and agnostics but I don’t think that would be anything but a vain futile exercise.
Hat-tip to the brilliant and unique Quix.
It’s post 53 gorush.
Hate for you to miss it.
Here’s the link, pal, check it out, er, and have a NICE eternity.

p.s. The Lord Jesus Christ is the One Who made a way for all of us to avoid burning in Hell for all eternity, whatever you feel toward Christians, you might want to ask Him to show You how to find your way to our Creator’s heart, Father God, Who loves all of us, including you.
It’s post 26 on this thread, here’s a quote,

Perhaps you missed this thread posted by our exalted leader....
Free Republic is a fringe right-wing Christian fundamentalist site

Christians have not been “abducting” FR. It has always had a strong Christian influence, just like the Declaration of Indence and the Constitution and the Founding Faters.
You can’t separate conservatism and Christianity. Without Christian moral values to stand on, we are screwed. There is no other value system that provides the solid moral base that conservatism represents.
Oh, and IBTZ....
Just in case.....
Moral absolutes are universal and no believer of any religion would feel unwelcome here, other than Mohammedans, unless they wanted to learn something and not be a Mohammedan any more. Or at least not a believing, practicing one.
The main people who are uncomfortable here I’ve noticed lately are atheists, liberals, leftists, liber(al)tarians, secularists, hedonists, homosexualists and libertines.
Are you one of the above?
You mean atheists, muslims and other devil worshipers won't give money to a site influenced by Christianity? That's too bad. But I sincerely doubt your appeal to Jim will bring your desired results. I just can't see him selling his principles for your cash, much less his very soul. You're either very courageous, or very stupid.
