Free Republic is a fringe right-wing Christian fundamentalist site... or so they say... and they might even be right.
We don't go for any of that godless left-wing big government socialist malarkey. And we do put our faith and trust in God, not government. We are pro-God, pro-Life, pro-Family, pro-Country and pro-Liberty.
We do not believe that government or science knows what's best for us or our children. We will make our own decisions thank you very much.
Every once in a while some group of posters get together and try to bend Free Republic to their will. Now, we tend to be pretty free-wheeling around here and will take a lot of guff and a lot of obnoxious insults from a lot of people, but eventually a breaking point is reached.
For example, when a group of RINO lovers recently banded together to try to force FR to accept an abortionist/gay rights RINO as our presidential candidate, they soon found themselves on the outs.
And a few years ago a group of evolutionists tried to force FR over to their way of thinking and they soon found themselves on the outs.
FR is a pro-God, pro-Creator, pro-Life, pro-Liberty site.
And now we have yet another group of Darwinists trying to have their Darwinist way with us. Well, as I've said before what doesn't kill us will only make us stronger.
Darwin Central has again declared war on FR. They have ping lists and email lists and will try to pull away as many FReepers as they possibly can. So be it. Those who would rather go with Darwin, please go. I sure as hell won't try to stop you.
FR will remain a pro-God, pro-Life, pro-Liberty, pro-Creator conservative site.
We wholeheartedly believe that our unalienable rights are a gift from God our Creator not from man or government. And no man, no government will ever deprive us of same.
Keep your powder dry.
And this is why so many people feel justified in calling "Darwinianism" (and evolution generally) a religion. It's too late to deny that Darwinianism is a religion. Too many people have uttered too many philosophical and religious conclusions and value-judgments based on Darwinian thought, to now deny that it has become a philosophy, indeed, a religion.
Then let me repeat; Many, including major religious authorities do not hold that evolution is incompatible with Christianity and does not undermine Church authority. To take your argument to its conclusion would be to assert that the Catholic Church's acceptance of Theistic Evolution is the endorsement of a different religion. That is absurd.
lol, historically The Catholic church has never had a problem absorbing other religions. It’s called syncretism. They’ve even made overtures to Islam, finding a common link in Mary.
LOL. There is a significant difference between syncretism, which is identifying common points, references, terminology, or areas of agreement, and absorption. One need look no further than Genesis to find many examples of Egyptian, Babylonian and pagan references incorporated. That doesn't mean that Judaism "absorbed" anything from those cultures of faiths.
She already feels bad.
She KNOWs about the things wrong about MORMONism and it's eating her up inside.
Old
Mormon
Delusions?
;^(
bummer
I’ve never seen it.
Are the inmates now running the asylum?
Well, at least you talk tough...
Thanks. Migraines kinda take all the fun out of life. It can’t last too many days longer. Usually, ten is the limit.
;o]
Thanks for the reminder that it is Resty thuRsday
I was wondering what OMD stood for as well.
OMD = Orchestral Maneuvers in the Dark? (old 80’s band)
I guess not. I guess the whole old testament and some of the new never has anything to say about worshipping foreigner’s gods. Maybe King Solomon was unjustly accused
Maybe not. The adoption of a word, concept, myth, or fable to help explain or communicate an idea isn't worship. Every language carries forward or borrows words. Every culture carries remnants of its past and its contacts. Every religion relies heavily upon both language and culture to express itself.
The large waves that follow seismic activity are called tsunami's in English. That doesn't mean those American's on the west coast are Shinto Buddhists.
reaganaut,
only God can open a person’s eyes to Christ.
We can pray faithfully. He is gracious.

Amen, ampu.
