The following reasons are why the posts were deleted. There was no religious underhandedness involved and no one religion or poster selected. The liberals do moniter our site, and they do use our threads and posts to advance their agendas.

flame baiting
references to God/Jesus as homosexual
damnation
general bashing of any religion
or quotes of the above

Keep up the great work. Slogging through threads like these to raise the bar on religious discussion will have its effect one day, I trust, when folks realize there's no point in posting a slowpitch so lame it can be hit out of the park on site.

I believe that some of my deleted posts may have contained quotes about Jesus /homosexuality..but not all of them..I was polite and respectful.

So does this mean that all post that have "unplesant" quotes that may offend will be pulled? That will sure kill FR..75% of it is "unpleasant ":>) and who defines "unplesant?

I also would like to know why in a couple of instances in threads where there were maybe 20 offensive posts out of 200 or in one case 1200 the whole thread was pulled? Look at the cherry picking done on this thread it is destroyed..it makes no sense to anyone coming in.While on the pulled threads it was all in the end of the thread.

I would also like to point out that Jerrys questions were pulled. He was "warned" and threatened with banning for quoting scripture..nothing else..

We need a guideline list of rules, so we know what the banning offenses are .We need a policy that will allow for a review by at one of the JR's and a policy that after the request for the review if it is decided that it is sufficent to pull individual posts the thread can be re posted with all the other comments in place..

All of this is of course MHO :>) but I do not like censorship it does something to my libertarian streak.I know that for legal reasons some control is needed but it has to be consistant and evenly enforced. opinions should not be censored ..personal attacks..character attacks and porn are differnt matters !

God bless ya JR..thank you for FR .I hate sounding like a shrew..but only my husband knows for sure *grin*

Well, this thread has certainly been exorcised of any meaningful content. Know what? You never did answer my question as to why I was threatened with suspension or banishment. I find it quite interesting that you have been selective in your elimination of posts, and made sure to keep a few out there that would give grounds for new participants to see us Protestants in the worst light possible.
