In my opinion, a conservative political forum should not have as one of it’s purposes proselytising

Fine opinion, that is moot when certain groups, religions, or cults defy you.

Once that happens, it is "Game On" - and you are either a participant, or a spectator.

The Mormons that show up at your door in their white shirts and out of date ties will attempt to pursued. Fine with me.

Any group that wants to try and convince others of its legitimacy is allowed under the First Amendment, and even here on FR (a Private website supported by member contributions) - open debate is what we are all about.

God (the Real One) gave us Christians a teaching before He went back to heaven.

Matthew 28: 16-20

Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

So that is what motivates Christians. Mormons are motivated by Joseph Smith.

I must ask Charles (and if you answered this on previous threads I apologize) - are you a Christian?

Thanks.

Sorry - FR spell check can be a bit creative.

Hmm...Would love to see the words from ya..."In my opinion, a conservative family home should not have as one of its venues targeted proselytising.

Good post, Sky. "Game On" indeed.
