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.
It is a video of a sermon rather than a song. Awesome sermon/speech.

Gosh!
a twofer in your post!
When you're a VICTIM then EVERYTHING offends you!
PRESBYTERIANs are 'mainstream';
and MORMONs hate them!
Not to worry, Sweetie.
I just posted your Blessed Scripture for all to read.
They can then make up their OWN minds...
Revelations 3:18
John 3:16, Romans 8:38-39, Romans 3:21-29
"Your scary friends have a thread open to the public in which they talk about hunting a Freeper down in real life. For what reason? Don't they usually hide these so people can't read what they are really like?"
Logic would provide the answers to your questions. The discussion is open exactly so that it can be viewed by anyone seeking the truth.
I see that you are following Robert Heinlein's maxim that the slickest way to lie is to tell just enough of the truth, and then to remain silent. His advice is very effective.
However, what you did not relate is an important aspect. The referenced "hunting down" was a hypothetical, and the immediate response to that possibility was a resounding negative from all quarters. Many of those who post there did not "flee" as was suggested in an earlier post but instead were "cast out" from this forum.
The site that you would vilify is a staunch supporter of the right of people to speak freely in open discussion, and thereby to reveal the weaknesses of their arguments as well as what passes for their faith.
Anyone who wishes may examine what is being said there, and decide about it on its merits. I would not recommend relying on the erstwhile reporters who may claim to have waded through the swamp of our filth to bring out their reports. That is an exaggeration, as most of what gets posted there is rather dry.
Further, there is no objection of which I'm aware to the carrying out of information or opinion, (as long as copyright restrictions are observed, of course), but it is the fervent wish of all that the information be as accurate as possible.
If you think that anything may be slightly exaggerated, as I have suggested it may be, then any and all may verify the truth for themselves. Don't be afraid. The tortoises cannot pursue anyone very effectively.
1)It's Jim Rob's forum. I am not a chr*stian and I realize that some of my beliefs are very much at variance with those of JR and my fellow FReepers, and sometimes I'm a bit ornery. JR has been kind enough to suffer me for the most part and I am grateful to him. I choose to remain here because my understanding of conservatism is an ancient, Theocratic, pre-enlightenment version (like some of the Catholics here) and because I believe defending G-d and His Torah is that important.
2)If there is no G-d, then there is no ultimate meaning and therefore, logically, no immediate meaning, and we might as well cease all our crusades and endeavors and repeal all our laws and relinquish all out goals and enjoy our short meaningless lives with maximum pleasure unencumbered by such things as ethics or morality (which, being defined by Divine Decree, do not exist in the absence of G-d).
3)The evolutionist characteristic of resorting to ethnic caricatures of poor rural Southern white Protestants while ignoring, or even claiming to be huge fans of, the superstitions and myths of other more "politically correct" peoples marks them as slimy, gutless cowards of the sort who kick the crutches out from under handicapped people because they don't have the brass to take on anyone else. It is primarily for this reason that I personally (again, this is not my forum) would rather that idiotic bigoted hypocritical atheists (the adjectives being an inherent part of the definition of the noun) would vacate this forum and live out their meaningless lives elsewhere.
Of course, that's just me!
And me.
I wish I could describe Him to you

That is ok!
I have recieved a witness by the Power of the Holy Ghost!
Amen, Nana...Amen!
How do you KNOW it was the Holy Ghost?!? Hmmm...even satan can appear as an angel of light.
Thank you, Mr. Robinson, for everything. And thank you, and all other good FReepers, for putting up with me when I sometimes perform verbal "surgery" with the grace of an elephant. I know it's because, though you can't agree with me, you know why I do it, and it's the same reason that motivates all of you as well--to be loyal and true to the G-d Who made us.
Because there isn’t one, but what do you expect, it took him years to get the “first vision” right.
You would think that if God and Jesus just “showed up on your doorstep” so to speak, you would remember every last detail. Or at least who they were.
I am a poet.
As a child of God I am never a victim!
"Don't know who you are ..."
I am a poet.
And I didn't know it.
Hey . . . guess I'm a poet too!
That just reveal ye are of little faith in the Word of God!
