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...
Same old low IQ recycled insult. So many times I have to repeat to read my history before you judge me. I am as conservative as conservative can be. I am even partners in a VERY Christian Conservative Forum of our own.
My only fault? I am an unabashed honest outspoken Conservative. Honesty is not respected like it once was apparently. At least I can lay my head down at night and know that unlike most, I always gave benefit of the doubt first and foremost.
And I don’t care what you think, you are unhinged by your own example... I have aired my honest thoughts. If you want to continue to make a fool of yourself go right ahead. I fully support your right to do that if you like...
You’re a heretic pushing your non-canonical agenda.
Gee, thanks for permission.
Now let’s talk about that heresy you’re pushing.
I’ve been here a while. Much of what you say is hearsay and untrue. I have to admit, the more I read of the information that is gathered into this site, the more I lean to the right and distrust the MSM and the Democrats.
No I didn’t believe him! It made me laugh and want to bi-ch some more!
Naw...Freedumb. It just made me laugh
Everything I said is absolute fact. And I will stand by it without shame. Does your faith teach you to lie to yourself about true history?
Were the books written by the hand of man? Yes.
Were the stories handed down for many many years before they were actually written? Yes.
Have they been translated and edited many many times? Yes.
Even today...Is There currently only ONE version???
All the fanatical disillusions in the world cannot change fact.
You live in a fantasy world if you actually believe any other than this historic reality.
Are they true? I will give the benefit of the doubt as I always have. The Bible has pointed to too many unknown buried locations not to.
But you never asked or gave me the benefit of the doubt. You immediately wanted to burn me at the stake. And even worse... I think at some point you actually realized you might be wrong about me.
But rather than be self accountable you still continue to keep up the holy hunt even over what your own conscience is telling you. You really need to have that looked at...
Lol! Got ya on that. Love FR and won’ be going anywhere anytime soon. Thanks for your comments!
Depends on which Baptists you talk to; my church, which is American Baptist, emphasizes soul freedom, and puts the onus of interpretation on each individual. Other branches, especially Southern Baptists, tend to be more conformational. There is a huge variety under the umbrella, and tons of disagreement.
I have no idea why I’m pinged to this.
Please stop doing it.
Thanks

It’s not hearsay... Read back through this one thread. The examples are all here. And there have been many many years of the same conflict for other faiths and sects of the same faith.
The question is... Does every one individual have the right yo believe as they like without persecution? The Constitution says so. But does the Free Republic respect this or not? That is the question...
It was his post to you that started this.
I do...
I did not say anything intended to insult. My words expressed my observation, based on experience and on what the left believes. But your reaction is quite telling; just remember that the use of fallacies such as ad hominem tend to mark you as a troll.
You make a lot of claims about yourself, but your behavior very much exhibits the opposite. And your accusations are still to this point devoid of evidence; I for one am eager to see it so I can examine it myself
I don’t care what started it.
Please leave me out of it.

And he was respectful and dropped it, as did I. Then you decided you had to ride in on a white horse and be a holy Knight.
It was between him and I not you. You stuck your nose where it was not needed. That is where the stalking began. I didn’t confront you... You went out of your way to confronted me first.
I was already done with the conversation, so was Lurker. You then blew it up into something it never should have become in the first place.
Here let me hold an umbrella for you.
And I did not take it as an insult a all. I’m just being matter of fact. Keep your eyes open, and you will see many chastizations of each other. And some sects are more ruthless than each other. Been watching it here for years.
I’ve lived in a lot of different places. I’ve never encountered anyone, here or anywhere, who tried to control my region.
