Put another way, when a poster comes onto an RF thread with nothing to contribute but contempt for other Freepers, personally, flamewars are the only possible result.
Therefore, if you cannot or will not comply with the no ad hominem requirement - or if you have no point to make concerning the issues (theology, philosophy, history, etc.) - then leave the thread.

Don’t be so petty as to mistake courtesy for concern.
In your case that isn’t difficult

And I never said I could control you, but I can call you out on Mormon bashing.
So; you admit not being ABLE to control us and to not WANTING to control us, but merely want others to know that we are BASHING the poor MORMONs; an activity that is patently OBVIOUS to anyone actually IN one of these threads.
You are NOT contributing anything that isn’t already known.
You are merely making noise; much like a guy running along side a float in a parade, yelling to the bystanders to “Look at THIS float!”

And yes, my heart is with Jesus, and no I’m not going to join your religion or any other religion, and it doesn’t matter if you criticize me as a result.
Then you’ll be just like Candace in the chariot; needing SOMEone to come along and explain things to you.

Jesus was neither zealous nor was he obsessed.
Poor Chris; shown to be wrong in front of the class.
Better put some ice on it.

I’m not going to burn in Hell because I am not of your religion.
That THAT; JESUS!
You big control freak!!!
I see, Mr. Moderator. Thank you for the information.

It is interesting how these people attack us (and are even proud of attacking US), rather than attacking what we post.
They never seem to have issues with the content of what we post, just that we post it.
They resort to ad hominum attacks because they can’t deny the sources or facts of WHAT we post.
And they all think that attacking us will make us stop. We all have thick skin - its a requirement.
For something to be "making it personal" on the Religion Forum, it must be speaking of another Freeper, personally. Condemnations of dieties, beliefs, religious authorities, groups of believers are all allowed on "open" RF threads.
Forms of "making it personal" include: attributing motives to another Freeper personally, reading another poster's mind, making the thread "about" him or yourself.
That said, all warnings apply to everyone in the sidebar on the RF.
For instance, if an RF poster attributes motive to you it does not authorize you to attribute motive to him in reply.
I am sorry that you believe that is was not the author of scripture, God Himself, who is more than capable of taking care of His people and preserving His word. No arms were twisted. The Holy Spirit convicts the heart, not any man.

Bingo. Many people either don’t know history or don’t care about the truth. The Council of Nicea was called in order to combat heresies that contradicted the Bible - not to create unbiblical doctrines but to rather official confirm the doctrine as scripture and create a unifying statement of faith to prevent wolves in sheep’s clothing from leading Christians astray. Much like the Flying Inmans do here.
Noted, thank you
You also have less people in your denomination.
Congratulations!
Serious question.
On many occasions on this thread you make a statement when it is repeated, you disagree with it - ok, I get that is a technique and a good one.
The question I have, and yea I would love an answer, when you say ‘denomination’, what do you actually mean.
I do not belong to a denomination, and I know several people of FR who do not either.
So, you may mean something different than what comes to my mind, so please can you explain what you mean by ‘denomination’.
Thanks.
Well, one wrong doesn’t make a right either. I really don’t understand why you allow these anti-Mormon threads to go on on this website, you are allowing one religion to bash another religion, but I guess it’s ok because the Bible commands them to do it...
But you know what? It’s offensive. And it makes the people on the attack look incredibly small. In fact from my perspective what goes on here harms Christianinty as a whole, but that is just my opinion on the matter.
Anyhow, Religion Moderator, I do appreciate your reasonable responses. I know you have a particulary tough job moderating this section, So I’ll not make it any tougher for you. I’ve said what I have to say, so I’ll walk away now.
Good day to you and thanks kindly.
Chris:
I agree. I stay off of the threads because I would lose it.
I din’t know why the owner allows the persistent attacks. I see a few do this to catholicism but not to the same degree. Even Islam doesn’t get this level of attack with constant threads.
I know that if you persistently attacked some other Christian groups, you’d be banned.
You also have less people in your denomination.

First, um...no we don’t. We outnumber them.
Second, the Mormons lie about their numbers. The actual numbers of ‘activity’ is only about 5 million and shrinking every day not 14 million like they claim.
And you still didn’t address the actual content of the article.
What I mean by that is Christanity.
Whether or not I used the word correctly, I don’t know, but that is what I mean by that statement. I personally cannot conisder joining a religion when people in that religion behave in such ways. Then I am told that in not joining I am rejecting Christ, damnign my soul and various other complete nonsense.
As I stated to the Moderator, what goes on in these threads hurts Christanity, at least from my persepctive. I’m sure that others do not agree with that assessment, but in my life, it’s my opinion that holds the most weight.
Anyhow, svcw, that’s all I have to say for this round, if you need or want further clarification, then please send a mail, I said I would leave the thread now, so that’s what I am going to do.
Ok, it’s an answer thanks
The Antiochans would be surprised at that!
And you KNOW this how?
So you DO read my stuff; when you HAVE to!
Tinkling brass...
Why; That's an EASY one!
To draw out NON-religious people to defend a religion; thereby making themselves look REALLY logically challenged!
