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...
Gee, the way you post that question in this post is far different than how you dialogged with me and even far different from your whiney straw-argument vanity. Maybe you’re learning something.
Obviously, you know that you didn’t have to fill in your religion or lack thereof when you signed up. Please list the posters you claim have overruled the owner of this site. I think he’d like to know why they aren’t paying the bills, buying/maintaining the equipment and placating demanding political junkies when the site goes down. Mr. Robinson might even want to retire and enjoy sleeping in the wee sma’ hours as most people do. Of course, that’s just a guess; he might be a night owl as are so many Freepers.
Feel free to cut up this vanity and point out where those logical fallacies were used. Perhaps I missed a few.
Utter nonsense.

A very nice collection...Thanks.
But my favorite appears to be missing?
A different name?

Hi.
This could be a unique kinda thread. It could morph from a vanity to an opus, or incure the wrath of the Viking Kitties.
I’ll stay tuned.

I've been here for almost 24 years and have never had a profile, nor has anyone that mattered ever said anything to me about it. Over the years I've had a few comments removed, but that was because some self-righteous asshole whined to the moderators about it. I've never let that stuff bother me. I've never been suspended, banned, or left this site in all these years, and I don't plan on leaving until I'm dead. And maybe even then I won't leave.
Then be real. You desperately need to read the FREE online book by the eminent historian

YOU don’t believe in BigFoot?
Incur damnit.

“He is an anti-God activist posting on a Pro-God website. It fits the definition of troll, at least for that subject matter. He deserved to be called on it.”
I never said I was anti-God... You assumed that because I called out your hypocritical “Rules” to post in the “news” forum or leave... Key word here “News”.
I would never come stalk you in ANY forum for your beliefs. Please do not stalk me...
Or maybe higher up in Garland’s DOJ?
:)
ROFL!!
I’ve not seen anything like that in 19 years of FReeping. We do ask, however, that you stune your beeber.
Maybe that’s what you’re referring to.
In all the years I've been here, I don't remember ever having knocked heads with HumbleGunner. And now that's making me think that I must be exactly like him.
“”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.””
You are a LIAR!
Users CAN’T “mandate” ANYTHING!
Your statement of fact above is not true. It never happened/can’t happen, so that makes you a LIAR!
I think you just wanted to stir up trouble. GO AWAY TROLL!
I am Catholic and have had healthy exchanges with non-believers, Jews, Protestants, Evangelicals and others. Mormons kind of get rough treatment here, and falling lockstep behind Romney (though not Reid) did not help things.
I do know that some vitriolic anti-Catholic posts get pulled when needed. When members of my Church behave badly (all too often), a post reflecting on that in a specific manner (that is, doesn’t reflect on all Catholics), and these days we have to post some ourselves to minimize scandal and to clear the record on actual Church teaching and Tradition.
I am pleased with the wealth of solid Catholic-specific resources here on FR. I also respect the CAUCUS headings when they apply.
I do report f-bombs and profanity whenever I find them.
We have plenty of Catholics, non-Catholic libertarians, evangelicals, generic Christians, observant Jews and even non-believers who are respectful that contribute to Free Republic.
JimRob has a tough job. He performs it well.
Gasp, are you a closet democrat?
