So, you’ve decided all the Jews and Hindus on Free Republic are no longer welcome? You have, have you? Really?

I was informed I was hellbound just this morning. LOL

I wonder if all the big-tent Romneybots will stop by this thread and decry the call for ‘purity’.

I’m sure they’re welcome. But, unless they repent and are baptized in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, they’ll be going to the same place many of their political opponents are.

Not PC, I know, but that’s what Jesus Christ taught.

We totally need a purity test for conservatism. I’ve heard about purity tests someplace before... way back in history....

People who share a common moral worldview can work together for many good things, and FR is a great example of that. We affirm a belief in God because that relates to being conservative; our natural rights are the basis for our conservative views and they derive directly from our belief in the Creator who endows us with those rights.

But as a Christian, we cannot be shy about what our Founder taught. He has made it clear that personal, individual salvation cannot occur apart from Him:

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

So if you find Christianity insufficiently inclusive, you cannot blame the sheep; you must blame the Shepherd.

But FR is not Christianity. It is an association of people who have a shared set of beliefs that directly impact the governance of the nation. Christianity exemplifies many of those beliefs, but because God’s law is the law everywhere and all the time, many who are not Christian have the same views and public policy objectives, and that’s a good thing.
