It seems there are more and more religious posts every day on Free Republic. Posts bashing this belief or that one...posts on Mormons, on Catholics, who's going to Heaven...who's going to Hell...theology, etc. Has the site turned into "Free Religion?" There are hardly any conservative topics in News anyore. It's degenrated into a bunch of religious people trying to convince others whose beliefs are best. Why is that?
I just ignore them and go read something else.
For the most part I ignore it. I’m a Christian period.
People like to talk about things that are interesting to talk about and religion is always interesting to talk about, though not for the faint of heart.
Just when the religious posts start to slow down, you post this. Way to stir the pot.

In one of the latest forum software updates, we lost the ability to filter by category the threads/posts that are displayed.
The Mods have told me that is a top priority for one of the next updates.
It can’t come too soon, IMO.
Self-affirmation?
You obviously don’t love God enough.
I can answer your question. The reason is to personally piss you off.
I’m series dude.
I don’t know if I’d say it’s true more than it was in the past. We’ve always had that group of posters.
There is an intersection between religion and politics, so it’s inevitable to some degree.
I noticed it too. I don’t get involved in those debates - what possible point would there be in doing so?
I think with evolution vs creation, and the causes of the American Civil War, we have more than enough to debate on this site. :)
Might be a reaction to the threats in everyday life? The left despises any religion, but Christianity in particular. It seems like religion is attacked by the government in some small way on a daily basis.
Maybe a safe haven in a storm?
Yes, indeed.
The new format gives you all the latest articles unless you click your preference to the right like News/Activism.
Wait! You didn’t mention Global Warming!
The problem is that everyone is trained to believe—no matter how crackpot it is—that their religion is right and everyone else’s is wrong.
Everyone should be allowed one religion to knock on, and leave the others alone.
There are dozens of people here who love to start threads talking about how evil other churches and/or faiths are.
The two biggest targets are Mormons and Catholics. There is more hate poured out on this website for those two groups than there is hate for the President on dailykos.
Aha! So that is why I’ve been seeing more of these since the upgrade. I guess they used to all be on the Religion forum into which I seldom wandered.
I agree. I wish they’d make it possible to choose just the categories you want to see and exclude the rest. Right now if you want to see just NEWS and PERSONAL/BLOGS for example, you can’t. It’s either view everything or just one category. Seems like it would be an easy improvement to implement.
