Me thinks this one is a shyster lawyer. In my experience, only a shyster lawyer would ask the old "When did you quit beating your wife?" question.

You are the one that is insulted my a statement that I will be praying for all here.
There is an easy way to notify the moderator, if you wish to. I asked the moderator to clarify something...whether calling a denomination a cult was acceptable. I did so publicly. He deleted your message and the one I posted, which quoted your message. That indicates to me that calling a denomination a cult is not permissable.
If you have something you wish to point out to a moderator, then click Report Abuse, or include Admin Moderator in the address line of a post. It's your call, not mine.

Yes, I pray often for all you protestants and catholics. I pray that someday you can come to Christ.

A lot of folks, children mostly, call the hall monitors when they run out of intelligent things to say.
Protesting protestantism?
Yes, they do. Others call the moderators when there is a question regarding the rules of the forum. I do that from time to time, to make sure I understand the rules correctly.
I also do it in the case where a rule is broken in a way that could damage Free Republic, such as a threat against a public official, an advocacy of some illegal act, or other such situations.
I do not do so when I, myself am attacked personally. I prefer to leave such attacks visible, so others can see them. Often, however, someone else clicks Report Abuse, and those attacks are removed.
The rules here are simple: You can see them every time you post a message here:
"Please: NO profanity, NO personal attacks, NO racism or violence in posts."
So why haven't you called the mods on your buddy the mountain man?
And you took that as an insult?
"Protesting protestantism?"
Me? Not at all. I just thought it was dumb of this church to withdraw those funds and to say that it was because there were Catholics involved. That seems silly and counter-productive.
Apparently it seemed that way to the actual Pastor of that church, since he reversed his subordinate's decision. I suspect a reprimand was made, as well.
Because I haven't attacked anyone.
I'd rather converse with the Godless atheist and the Mormon guy.
You know, our Church doesn't ask about religion when we are in the middle of disaster relief. Seems like their head pastor has read the book also.
Oh, I see.
And telling Christians they aren't Christians because they don't belong to your group isn't an attack?
Oh, I see.

Well, little man, you happily accused my church of being a cult. That is definitely an insult.
Praying for other people could not be considered an insult except by a liberal socialist shyster lawyer. Does that fit you?
"So why haven't you called the mods on your buddy the mountain man?"
Because I did not. You have the same button I do, and the same ability. I believe you are enjoying this whole thing way too much.
But, that's beside the point. My wife's parents are just about to arrive. I'm preparing a crown roast of lamb for dinner tonight, with Minnesota wild rice and some baby green peas.
I need to get a start on that, so I'll be leaving for the day. Best of luck to you, Protagoras. Be well...
Really? You admitted it! BTW, I ain't your little man.

You accused people of not being Christians because they aren't in your little group, but you don't think that's an insult because you pretend to pray for them.
Delusional in more ways than the obvious one.
Now you call me a liberal socialist shyster lawyer and that's not an attack?
But I do understand what you are doing. You are trying to get this thread pulled so all your posts disappear. I don't blame you for that, they cry out to vanish.
Be sure to pray before you eat. Oh,,never mind.
The only thing I admitted to were two definitions from Websters, the organized religion ones. I presume you are also a member of a cult, using that definition.
Are you a member of a cult?
What denomination do you belong to?
