I consider that an example of "eating your own"

Those threads are not representative of FRee Republic. The same goes with the Terry threads.

These religious topics bring a special difficulty with them in a debate. The problem is that convictions of this kind cannot be used to argue in a give and take, or normal way.

They sometimes allow themselves to express their passion in a often harmful and wrong way. Not all, but a few.

If you go there in the future, bring your flame retardant suit. It is gonna happen if you disagree with their passionately held convictions.

So what is the point in arguing with something that cannot be compromised or changed?

I have often asked myself the same question.

Make your proper point, and get out. You will often be labeled as a troll anyway.

It is up to the wary to know their fate. It is the price you pay for free speech. It is never free.

I was just disappointed that no one with any views similar to mine showed up.
