>You are quite right. The post at #17 is confrontational, not devotional. The devotional label has been removed and the thread is now open for rebuttal.
Let me get this right. Your style of moderation is that if a post is viewed as confrontational on a thread, that the entire nature of that thread must shift to reflect that post?
Is that really your view?
I would appreciate if you would define for me how YOU view religious bigotry so that I can better understand what is allowed on this forum (seeing as how the forum rules prohibit religious bigotry). A private reply would be wonderful. Just help me understand.
Bigotry is hate mongering which is NOT allowed anywhere on this forum. For instance, no posts are allowed from Jack Chick, Jesus-is-Lord.com, KKK, Aryan Nations, Christian Identity, National Alliance, VDare. Likewise, the false Jesuit Oath aka Knights of Columbus Oath is not allowed.
a person obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices; especially : one who regards or treats the members of a group (as a racial or ethnic group) with hatred and intolerance
There are no rules prohibiting "religious bigotry" on Free Republic. I don't know where you got that.
The rules are posted right below the posting button. The rules are simple: "Please: NO profanity, NO personal attacks, NO racism or violence in posts."
It might be said that being a religious bigot is not prohibited and posting what some might consider as "bigoted" opinions on the religious traditions of others is not prohibited, but accusing fellow posters of being "religious bigots" is prohibited.
