Maybe as a Believer in God you should read his Word that would tell you not to call your brother a “maroon.”Well, I guess I take offense to being called a "Nazi" for just stating my belief in evolution. We can all disagree peacefully. but anyone who calls me a Nazi is not a believer of God, but a believer of maroons.

Unless you're the author of the article, or have two screen names, no one called you anything. You just jumped into the middle of the thread and started hurling insults when you could've logically (but not factually) defended your position.

And, if you deny the fact that there are indeed Evolution Nazis who refuse to tolerate any belief other than their own, you really need to get out more.

Now, run along and evolve into someone a little less defensive.

I think its cool that if a number of folks want me banned, then it happens. MonroeDNA

This site was founded by a contrarian. And now is regulated by a guy that is anti-libertarian. Unlike the founder, who we sent personal checks to, the late, great Jim Rob.

Yes, I have been here since 1997. Yes, I once sent personal checks, many checks. Yes, they have dried up.

The libertarian spirit is gone from here. Now it is just navel-gazing.

No one said anything about anyone being banned. All I took you to task for was jumping to conclusions and slinging around names. The rest you’ve imagined.

I guess stating that evolutionists (even us that believe in God, think second-hand smoke is idiocy, and believe global warming is a crock) are Nazis doesn’t quite cut it.

The Darwin Fish symbol (which is your handle) is a direct satirical attack on the foundation of the Christian faith. The Fish Symbol (which you mock) was the sign of the ICTHUS which was used by early Christians to identify each other and to avoid persecution or death by the Roman Government.

The Ichtus was an acronym for Jesus Christ God Son Savior. By putting feet on the fish and replacing the IXOYE for DARWIN, you mock Christ, who created the fish.

You claim to believe in God, do you also claim to believe in Christ?

If so, why do you mock Him by your Freeper handle?

Not sure about Christ—so many claims. I don’t believe in the water-walking thing.

But I do believe in GOD. In fact, I know God. Cool dude.

God is more than Jesus. Right?

After reading the first several posts, I’m stating this thread as exhibit A why the Republicans are impotent to do anything about the ongoing onslaught.

Yeah, you are right. It is satirical, but not why you think. It is satirical, just to point out that some religious folks hate evolution. I was raised Catholic, but with science. I don’t understand why believing , knowing 4evolution is evil.

So yes, I do have a Darwin fish on my car. I believe in God, with all my heart, just wonder why a bunch of folks get upset with the idea of evolution.
See tagline.

Yeah, you are right. No excuse for stupidity. And you were more than tolerant. F’d up a bunch of times.

For the un knowing: JR did what he should have. I was obnoxious, again and again, and then dumb enough to dare him to ban me. Smart, huh.

That does sound like a threat to me. Undeniable.

The rules are: “NO racism or violence in posts.”

So, it looks like he wasn’t banned for being a libertarian. Looks like it was because he was calling for the death of an ex-president.

I believe in God, with all my heart

Then why do you mock early Christian martyrs and their symbol?

To my knowledge, no Darwinist has been subjected to a centuries long persecution that saw them and their families cruelly murdured by authorities for their faith.

If you say so. I thought is was for other things. The post that you quoted does not make much sense at all.

We all change. Thanks for being a small part of this.

You are a good guy, and amazing what you have accomplished. I know I have been a pain in the ass, but you are a model for us all. Like it or not!
