Within this context, in Free Republic, clearly Kevmo considers it his sacred duty to identify, condemn in the strongest possible language (i.e., "God Damned Heretic"), and suggest the removal of posters whose religious views don't necessarily match Kevmo's ideas of orthodoxy.
FRiends, I don't fully understand the "big picture" in this, but there appears maybe a great debate within Free Republic as to whether threads like this one of spirited irish belong in a highly restricted, closely moderated Religion Forum?
Or should it be "let loose" into the larger News/Activism world, where they will run into people as blunt-spoken, stubborn-minded, historically knowledgeable and unorthodox as, oh, say, for instance... yours truly, BroJoeK?
If you've read all of Kevmo's posts, you may have noticed several of them which seemed addressed not to us, but to somebody outside, "lurkers", on just this question.
It possibly was what motivated Kevmo to start up his own Religion Forum thread...?
Spirited irish also, at one point, seemed to be complaining about having been, in effect, banished from the Religion Forum and relegated to the indignities of News/Activism.
She even somehow blamed yours truly, BroJoeK for having caused this -- which I promise you is utterly impossible, since I never knowingly go into Religion threads: why would I ever want to go on a thread where everybody is howling like Kevmo?
Heaven forfend!
So, bottom line, here is the question on the table: in view of their overheated enthusiasm for rooting out "heretics" within the world of Free Republic, are we still certain that Kevmo and spirited irish are on-board with our Founding Fathers' ideals regarding religious freedom?
Or might they prefer a more religiously restricted political structure?

Spirited: There was a time when comprehension skills were actually taught, required and tested in schools. Obviously you missed out.
Drop your latest myth-making venture, it only pours on more shame where much has already accrued. Then do everyone a favor, not least yourself, and visit the religion forum and inquire there if spirited irish was banished from that forum.

As an experiment, I went through some of this thread
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-religion/3104329/posts?q=1&;page=251
and identified where posters were “making it personal” the way that you have been doing throughout this thread. The religion moderator removed ALL of those posts. Even the ones that seemed borderline. Your hogwash would NOT be allowed on that thread, and that is why you do not go over there. I’m over there, a prime juicy target for you. But you prefer to stay over here where your trolling tactics and heresy are allowed. So if such tactics are allowed, for you, they’re allowed for me. What’s sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. And you’ve spent the better part of 20 posts complaining about how your arguments have been turned into goose sauce, you despicable heretic.
Educate yourself. Go over to the religion moderator’s page and see the rules... heretic.

***Jesus was vehement as well in his treatment of false teachers, calling them ‘sons of the devil’. No doubt you would say He had “overheated enthusiasm” for the task.
Or should it be “let loose” into the larger News/Activism world, where they will run into people as blunt-spoken, stubborn-minded, historically knowledgeable and unorthodox as, oh, say, for instance... yours truly, BroJoeK?
***You do not qualify as “historically knowledgeable”. But other than that, your self-description is valid. On this thread alone, you’ve mistaken historical observation for faith. Not only are you a heretic, you’re an ignorant heretic.
