Amen SB.

I can see it now...

Sinners in the hands of an angry Mod

On a religion forum, everyone should have the right to voice whatever theology they want to toss out.

With all due respect, good doctor, I think you need to read the thread again. There is no prohibition against introducing any theological issue.

[Canticle_of_Deborah]

But you cannot expect anyone of strong religious belief, especially if that person is a conservative, to agree that "your God is the same as my God; all Gods are equal."

We'll all be banned, lol....

[Canticle_of_Deborah]

LOL LOL LOL LOL

[Desdemona]

Good one.

[Jim Robinson]

Bless you my child. Ask and you shall be forgiven. Now, go forth and sin no more.

And if you feel FR is garbage, you are welcome to leave now. I assure you, you won't be missed.

I guess I have to repost, as your temper has caused you to misinterpret what I stated.

That said if FR decides that the subject of God is not welcome here anymore, that's the day I toss it in the garbage where at such a point it will belong.

I stand by what I said, your moderator threatened to shut the religion fourm down. God is already not allowed on the main board so if this were gone how would God still be welcome here? Just curious.

I don't know why, but for some reason my wife asked who I was typing to. When I told her it was you, she said she wants to make you Swedish meatballs if you come to South Florida. Keep it up and it's hotdogs for you.

Hey speak for yourself, friend.

With the five counts on my religion forum rap sheet (having done time in FR purgatory for each) with the announcement of SB's blanket pardon.... I feel like Mark Rich!

Good post.

Be aware that for all the vitriol that flies in the religion forum, I personally have learned an enormous amount from the other posters here. And most of those who are serious disrupters tend to self-destruct quickly.

With that said, Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.

Hey no fair posting in Latin... we won't know if you're toeing the line!

I believe what I said was that the question of the continued existence of the Religion Forum was very much up in the air. I also mentioned "outer darkness". Think Smoky Back Room before complete and total elimination.

And not to put too fine a point on the issue, throwing out those who continue to flame away is not the same as throwing out God. In fact, some might say it's just the opposite.

If God disappears from Free Republic (which I assure you He won't) I'll be gone before you notice it.

Not angry. Resolved.

Excellent idea!

I am certain that we can all be persuaded to think before we post. The presence of a dedicated moderator is welcome. I know that all of us are fully capable of making our points without resorting to personal attacks. Let us all learn to hold our tounges (in this case, our fingertips). It is possible. With God ALL THINGS are possible. Even a civil discourse on theology.

As long as you don't see the words "scortillum" or "scelus" you're ok...

[sinkspur]

As the only New Age Catholic on this forum, I'm screwed!

Careful. As my father often says, "Don't let prosperity go to your head." ;^)

[P-Marlowe]

Does this mean I can't be callin heretics "gravy-sucking pigs" anymore?

I would think not. But if you were actually able to find a gravy sucking pig, then surely you should be able to call it a heretic. Indeed, you could even call it Shirley.
