Sinkspur probably hates my Calvinism... but he is just going to have to put up with the fact that I agree with him.
Some of my Calvinist brethren also feared that the "Religion Forum" would be a "ghetto". I disagreed with them then; I disagree with them now.
Far from it. On Free Republic, Jim Robinson has established a Forum in which Conservatives may freely discuss the two subjects which are always forbidden at Liberal Cocktail Parties -- Politics and Religion.
I love Free Republic for having provided this "venting ground" for otherwise "incorrect" Free Speech. If the Owner of the Forum thinks it best for the Forum's health to categorize the Forums according to interest, that's fine by me. And if anyone thinks that the "Religion Forum" is a "ghetto"... so what?? It is, after all "only a mouse click away".
I ain't "sucking up" to either Jim Robinson or sinkspur in saying this; both of them have had their disagreements with me of late -- and well, so be it.
I just happen to agree with them here.
The Religion Forum is a great place to come and discuss Religious Matters. So if you don't feel like arguing Campaign Finance Reform today, come on over...
It's only a mouse-click away.

Exactly. I do agree that more restraint is needed, especially avoiding personal attacks. I also would hope people would not use the abuse button tactically against people with opposing views.
Personally, I have appreciated the dialogues and have built some friendships. I have been misunderstood by others. But that is very American -- the essence of what attracted me to FR.
