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...
Now it is not... It is exactly what I claimed I would post. Clarification.
And I kept your name out of it didn’t I? No one would have ever known until you came and stuck your face into it.
“standard strict faith parameters?”
IDIOT, there aren’t any, never have been. Are you off your meds?

F*ck NO!
Ain’t I, Ain’t I!
You are required to have a recommendation from your church to post here.
A written pastors reference plus 2 church board members .
(To all the DU dummies, that’s just a joke)
Well, now that you've discovered this key requirement, you might as well know about the proper FR dress code too. All those in the know make sure to dress in the proper puritan pilgrim garb, whenever they are posting to or perusing FR.
You’ve had multiple clarifications. How many are you intending to transmit to your DOJ boss . . . ?
You must have just got a PM from Kevmo to come jump in. Did he quote you what to reply?
See... This is the exact stoning of anyone “not perfect” I spoke to Kevmo about. I knew this was coming from his friends. Too bad you can’t think for yourself. He/she is taking advantage of your weakness...
You have the right to think as you like and make up your own mind. Don’t let bullies take advantage of you under ANY conditions. Ever...
Good. I thought they were the only ones that hung around after they died and voted often.
I believe you need to read his post again.
He IS a Christian. An Orthodox Christian.
Or do you not believe that Orthodox Believers aren’t Christians?
Lol, Trust me, that is the last of your paranoid issues to worry about with me. We have a very safe forum ourselves. Safe because I already figured out how to NOT have them knock on my door.
Our members are protected well from the “powers that be”... Here not so much... It is wide open. If you are worried about the DOJ a public viewable forum is not the place to post then.
Are you too on Kevmo’s PM list?
Never seen anything like that. But, of course, I’m must a greenhorn around these parts. :O
I have been here since 1998 even before i signed up, and have never had anyone tell me i had to be a white puritan christian to be a poster/commenter on this site.
Now i would make a common sense guess if you started posting insults about the site owner you’d probably get membership yanked.
There are plenty of self professed and obvious by their posts, seflf described athiests and agnostics that get into discusiona and arguments here. At least i now that has happened prett much ever since I’ve been here.
As far as i know they are still here, havent seen any statement from anyone in charge saying they will no longer be allowed here.
What i do see across 23+ years here is unpredictable behavior from admins in terms of what is acceptable or not, many people often do not know what is done wrong as you are not always told, and sometimes you cannot communicate with them to discuss/explain things or even ask for clarification if they suspend you. That is very frustrating.
But no one here has to take an oath or swear a creed or be white, christian etc to have an account. That said if you sign up to be a troll or othwrwise just cause problems here, you will eventually be identified for what you are and most likely shut down.
Well, I’m glad you were able to see I was being facetious.
Your OP still remains inscrutable, though. What’s the punchline?
Good post.
I am a Christian Minister... And I would think that might just give me a little right to question how a faith is being practiced case by case? Well I was told that anyway... After many years of study and personal sacrifice.

No wonder I feel so comfortable here 👍🏻
