Without FReedom of the press, here on FRee Republic and elsewhere, we are being robbed of some of our most important surgical instruments needed to remove this deeply imbedded toothpick and all the pus and fever surrounding it.
Please do not criticize the laity who are trying to open the abscess and drain it.
It might look like we intend to hurt the patient. But this is the only thing that will save it.
Respectfully, if the Moderators pull anything that has anything to do with Religion over to the Religion Forum, it's okay by me.
My own position is that the Church must be Reformed in order to have a positive impact on Political Society.
And since Religious Conservatives disagree over what this entails, having a separate Forum to discuss it makes sense to me.
When y'all have become good Presbyterians like the old Revolutionist Rev. John Witherspoon (grin), we can then ask Jim to re-combine the Forums for the purpose of melding Religious Activism and Political Activism. As long as the Church is still "sorting out" what "Religious Activism" must necessarily mean, the provision of a separate forum for discussion of the matter makes every bit as much sense to me as a "News/Politics" Forum provides for Libertarian/Conservative argumentation of what "Political Activism" should necessarily mean.
