Free Republic is a fringe right-wing Christian fundamentalist site... or so they say... and they might even be right.
We don't go for any of that godless left-wing big government socialist malarkey. And we do put our faith and trust in God, not government. We are pro-God, pro-Life, pro-Family, pro-Country and pro-Liberty.
We do not believe that government or science knows what's best for us or our children. We will make our own decisions thank you very much.
Every once in a while some group of posters get together and try to bend Free Republic to their will. Now, we tend to be pretty free-wheeling around here and will take a lot of guff and a lot of obnoxious insults from a lot of people, but eventually a breaking point is reached.
For example, when a group of RINO lovers recently banded together to try to force FR to accept an abortionist/gay rights RINO as our presidential candidate, they soon found themselves on the outs.
And a few years ago a group of evolutionists tried to force FR over to their way of thinking and they soon found themselves on the outs.
FR is a pro-God, pro-Creator, pro-Life, pro-Liberty site.
And now we have yet another group of Darwinists trying to have their Darwinist way with us. Well, as I've said before what doesn't kill us will only make us stronger.
Darwin Central has again declared war on FR. They have ping lists and email lists and will try to pull away as many FReepers as they possibly can. So be it. Those who would rather go with Darwin, please go. I sure as hell won't try to stop you.
FR will remain a pro-God, pro-Life, pro-Liberty, pro-Creator conservative site.
We wholeheartedly believe that our unalienable rights are a gift from God our Creator not from man or government. And no man, no government will ever deprive us of same.
Keep your powder dry.
In a nutshell
And I am simply stating that nonsense written in the name of God by self-proclaimed interpreters of His word, and giving all conservatives a bad name, will be rebutted. If you don't like such rebuttals on your private property, then please feel free to ban me.
Whatever.
Can someone tell me what is a big D Darwinist?
Is this a political movement or something?
Happy Hanukkah to our Jewish friends and Merry Christmas to ALL!!
I doubt you consider it reasoned, but since it was, I thank you.
Um, all I can say is wow! I note that you differentiate between Darwinists and evolutionists in your comment. That is a step in the right direction. But I would suggest that the problem isn’t scientists, but the perception that YEC’ers, essentially the Phelps family with regard to Biblical interpretation, logic and reason, have taken control of anything related to science on FR. The threads begun by GGG (Phelps) have turned into childish crap and there is never anything of benefit to anyone that has an interest in the issues. I again suggest that it is because GGG posts so many threads (I’m not going to comment as to their viability) and does so in a way so as to bait non-YEC’ers, thus resulting in the childish behavior. But, I ramble and I’m sorry. However, I suggest that you give it some further thought and consider re-instating some of those recently banned(from an ex-donor).
This is a propaganda trick, intended to negatively brand something. Like “Stalinist”, Leninist” etc. It is suggested that a branch of science (evolutionary biology) is in fact a political movement.
Not to worry. I am done posting Creation/ID articles in News. If I post them at all, I will be posting them in religion where they belong.
Just saw this post and want to add my hearty AMEN! I know I have found a home at Free Republic. I am so grateful y’all are here.
If any liberals, sans sunglasses, chanced onto that sentence, they'd go blind.
Science is observations derived from the physical realm. It is overall a subset of God's overall establishment of the order of the universe. Religion, specifically, Christianity provides insight into that which science cannot see into, not 'why' things happen.
Four thumbs up.
There can be no objection to GGG posting all kinds of tripe if it is relegated to the backwater of the Smoky Back Room.
If it is deemed religious then there is a designgnated place for that.
Forcing a view of Christianity and of God is not what I consider to be the spirit of Free Republic
“Most Christians think similarly.”
That simply is not true.
Au contraire. It’s you who don’t get it, RB.
SierraWasp is correct in this statement.....
“Your scope of fundamentalism is far too narrow and quite prejudicial if you ask me. So don’t stick a book by some christian fundamentalists in my face with a hyperlink and expect me to assume that you are correct and that fundamentalism is a bad thing for FR to be connected with just because somebody wrote a book about christian fundamentalism and that turns you off!!!”
Wow, either both of you are off your rockers or you didn’t read what I posted
Just go back and read the links
It explains where the very WORD Fundamentalist came from, and the link shows the BOOKS where that term came from, and that book explains the doctrines that defined Fundamentalism
Until you start with the truth, this conversation is over.
No, they don't. Just the muslims.
I don’t post a lot, but read almost every day. Posts like this are why!
