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.

Putting God (the religion forum ) in the Smokey back room as if He is the crazy aunt we hide in the attic or as something to hide is disgracefully . The "religious right" supported GWB and now we are afraid that the same voters wil "embarrass" them ? It this forum should go it will be the will of God not men ...men only think they are god

You've missed the point completely. So have a few others, obviously.

It's not God who is embarrassing Free Republic. It is some of those who come here to discuss God and theology. Nor will God be consigned to the Smoky Back Room, as if we could do that in the first place.

Those who refuse to learn how to discuss God and theology without the use of ad hominums, insults, name-calling and other unpleasant tactics won't be around long.

Not God.... just some of his less courteous followers. :~D

I'd be willing to bet that the threads that get moved to the smokey backroom actually have very little worthy of 'God' in them.

You are aware of the "Forums (Browse All)" option?
