Knock down drag out open thread of all things precious to your doctrines and traditions.

Ok boys and girls here is a chance to defend what you hold dear and near to your religion. For years now I have seen threads that make statements that I do not agree with but can not respond to because they hide behind the guise of being a devotional, or a caucus, or ecumenical. So here is a chance for open debate for all things that have been closed to opposing views in the past.

There will be only two guide lines no personal attacks and no posting of numerous links in a response or making a point. If you can not argue a point don’t respond by posting links. Yes I know that it is not part of the posting religious guidelines, but this is my thread so I get to make up the rules.

I am limiting this to religion due to the fact I can not post it in both general discussion and religion.

If some one would like to start a thread like this in general discussion by starting off that they believe that Fords are better than Chevys or that Obama is better than a potato then do so. But please refrain yourselves not to bring up Fords or Obama.

One other thing if you do not post directly to me I doubt if I will know what you have said concerning a point so if you have posted to others and want my opinion then ping me. I do not have time to read all posts. With that said let the debates begin.

I will start off by stating that I do not believe that Jesus and Satan are brothers and that the LDS bible is plagiarized from the canonize bible.

Good luck with that.

Merry Christmas and Peace on Earth to you too.

Oh, not this again. Someone posts this about twice a year, and each time imagines he's the first one ever to generate the concept.

Here's a Christmas lolcat for your trouble:

Have a glorious Christmas!

WTF?

[The Anti-One]

Are you a "Born Again", baptized in the Holy Ghost, Spirit filled member of Christ's body? Do you believe in the Trinity? Do you will to receive from God through Jesus Christ via the Holy Spirit or do you make the Bible your God? Are you open to receive from God through Jesus Christ via the Holy Spirit in all things? Do you even believe in a god^? and if so which god?

Just a few questions before I jump in.

Thx!

But please refrain yourselves not to bring up Fords or Obama.

Ha ha ha!!!

Here am I gleefully ignoring your request as I wish to point out that Obama drives a Ford.

And this thread is useless.

That is all.

I hold my wife very dear ... don't mess with her.

Mohammed - if he existed - was a plagarist. The hadj, he took from the Jews wandering in the desert. The killing of enemies from the book of Joshua. The Mahdi from the Messial narrative in the Old Testament.

Not to mention that of all religions on Earth, only ONE makes murder part of their central belief.

Gepetto playing “Mousetrap” with Pinocchio? Quite puzzling, I have to say.

They must have given those catz large doses of Wild Turkey on the 4th day.

Looks to me like they are making sausages out of smurfs.

I BELIEVE

That if life gives you lemons, make lemonade.

Then find someone who life has given vodka and have a party.

Very practical, given the economic downturn.

Nothing has been "closed to opposing views", either in the past or now. You have always been free to post your own "open" threads (just as you've done here), just as you've always been free to challenge the status of devotional/caucus/ecumenical threads when they challenge by name your own religious affiliation or views.

But most curiously, you say "For years now I have seen threads...." You only joined FR on February 18th. Since you weren't registered prior to that, you could not respond period. Don't blame it on the thread designation.

There will be only two guide lines no personal attacks and no posting of numerous links in a response or making a point. If you can not argue a point don’t respond by posting links. Yes I know that it is not part of the posting religious guidelines, but this is my thread so I get to make up the rules.

I predict this will turn out badly.

Now those are amazing catz. This is our second year in a row without a Christmas tree, and it’s such a relief not having to fight the pets and byos constantly.
