On FR you need to be a member in good standing for at least eight years before you can start to make intolerant anti-Christian remarks. It is very different from DU.
If you are not careful you might have a nasty meeting with Viking Kitties.
DU is a democratic site, in case you're wondering. Conservatives come in religious and non-religious varieties, and together are responsible for Bush's victory (and hence should be mutually grateful). However, the condemnation of members who are homosexual (I'm not) is wrong. And using religion - not as a respectable point of discussion and reflection - but as a club to beat other FU members over the head with, is certainly NOT (at least I think not) the purpose of FR, nor does it represent the sentiments with which it was founded (does it?). Moreover, if the conversation is reduced to the type of condemnations you see littered like mental garbage throughout this thread, then you are correct - there is little more I can say. But DU is a place for intolerance, so you might as well go there yourself.
The fact that the conservative cause is comprised of both Christians and non Christians does not give you license to denigrate God and or Christians -period. Intolerance is liberal codeword that suggest only liberal positions are to be respected. I will not tolerate your continued Christian bashing and would strongly suggest again you stop it -- this time without attempting to excuse your inexcusable actions... Nip it in the bud!
What Free Republic is all about:
Statement by the founder of Free Republic
As a conservative site, Free Republic is pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-Constitution, pro-Bill of Rights, pro-gun, pro-limited government, pro-private property rights, pro-limited taxes, pro-capitalism, pro-national defense, pro-freedom, and-pro America. We oppose all forms of liberalism, socialism, fascism, pacifism, totalitarianism, anarchism, government enforced atheism, abortionism, feminism, homosexualism, racism, wacko environmentalism, judicial activism, etc. We also oppose the United Nations or any other world government body that may attempt to impose its will or rule over our sovereign nation and sovereign people. We believe in defending our borders, our constitution and our national sovereignty.Free Republic is private property. It is not a government project, nor is it funded by government or taxpayer money. We are not a publicly owned entity nor are we an IRS tax-free non-profit organization. We pay all applicable taxes on our income. We are not connected to or funded by any political party, news agency, or any other entity. We sell no merchandise, product or service, and we offer no subscriptions or paid memberships. We accept no paid advertising or promotions. We are funded solely by donations (non tax deductible gifts) from our readers and participants.
We aggressively defend our God-given and first amendment guaranteed rights to free speech, free press, free religion, and freedom of association, as well as our constitutional right to control the use and content of our own personal private property. Despite the wailing of the liberal trolls and other doom & gloom naysayers, we feel no compelling need to allow them a platform to promote their repugnant and obnoxious propaganda from our forum. Free Republic is not a liberal debating society. We are conservative activists dedicated to defending our rights, defending our constitution, defending our republic and defending our traditional American way of life.
