The thread was right around the Olympics in 2002. I’ll read the excerpt from Josh McDowell’s book. In my experience on FR, it is usually the posts that get a thread pulled. I know there have been several threads that have discussed what is proper and what is not to put in a Religion thread and what is correct to post. I remember the flame wars, it was not a pretty sight.
I have heard of Ravi Zacharias. He came to Salt Lake City and talked, I didn’t hear him, but I have read some of his writings. Excellent writings, and he makes some good points.
As far as FReepers comments go, no, we as members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints should not post nasty exchanges about another person’s beliefs. Again, I have known a few posters to be banned who are LDS.
And I had no idea any of the moderators were Mormon. All of them are always accused of being Mormon, but I didn’t realize one was. What, there is a litmus test on what religion you are if you are a moderator at FR? Quite frankly, I think the moderators do a good objective job here.
Judges are expected to recuse themselves if they have a personal interest in a case....IMO that practice would apply, in the interest of fairness. If I were in that position, I would definitely consider it.
