It is distracting those here from the Core issues before us.
There are many other fine venues to take up this topic.
There are Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Hindi,
Atheists, Agnostics, and Seekers on this site.
They are here to engage in the Warfare against
Pervasive Socialism, Liberalism, Death Worship, and Chaos
Yes, Belief is core to who we are and how we see the world
Yes, Confusion in this regard corrupts our ability to understand, but
No, I'd take this discussion elsewhere...
Except...
...That when you click on the main forum page of Free Republic...there's a certain colorful line highlighted by the host of this site:
Welcome to Free Republic, America's exclusive site for God, Family, Country, Life & Liberty conservatives (Notice, too who is listed first)
Sorry! But the host is unapologetic for his commitment -- and his site's commitment -- to God. Therefore...
...Buddhists who may not believe in a personal God;
...agnostics who may not honor a personal God;
...and atheists who completely ignore a personal God...
...would perhaps like the site owner to jettison God completely.
(Is that what you are suggesting he do?)
And Hindus? Like Mormons, they are polytheists. Are you also then suggesting that the site host change his "Welcome" to include "gods" plural? All in the name of inclusivity?
Is that not quite rude on your part?
I mean, really, hangnjudge, do you go into homes in your neighborhood, and upon seeing any reference to "God," do you -- in the name of multi-religionism -- ask them to change their craft decor'/display, their fridge magnets, their art, etc. -- all to reflect your all-religious-anythingISM??? Do you, upon finding a particular decor that mentions "God", whip out your sharpie and either add an "s" to "God" -- or delete it completely -- all in the name of being more "inclusive?"
Do you not realize how offensive that'd be to the host?
And why are you thereby being so discourteous to your site host here?
And why do you grade against the uniqueness of theism? Aren't theists allowed to simply be theists without the multi-culturalists, multi-religion-everythingISts and their apologist allies running amok and running interference on behalf of their various diverse gods?
[Well, you can at least go back to your campus profs & teachers -- those who taught you this version of "multi-culturalism" -- and tell them they earned an A+ for re-educating you and imbedding within you their particular secular concepts]
It was posted on the Religion thread. How is talking about docrtine distracting from the purpose of the religion thread?
Maybe you are suggesting the religion thread be eliminated?
Oh??
Oh??
