I don't see a "trap", else surely we'd have been zotted by now.
And haven't even seen posts deleted by moderators, so am thinking they consider it all within normal limits.
What I think I see is something of an experiment, to see if these people can behave themselves once let loose outside normal restrictions of the Religion Forum.
Seems the answer is: some do quite well, others have no self-control, and go hog-wild at the first push-back from political reality.
Whether that's a net-gain or net-loss for Free Republic, I couldn't say for sure, but don't imagine many conservatives would welcome being called "God Damned Heretic", especially in the News Activism Forum, and would not support a site where that was likely...
On the other hand, there does seem to be a lot of interest, and maybe some are enjoying the show?
It may not have been a particularly good one, but the nature of traps is such that they usually have to be hidden or disguised to avoid detection if they're going to work at all.

***This is not about politics, it’s about spirituality, Heretic.

***I would question whether someone who’s been pushing a heresy on FR is a conservative.

***Well, such a thing is too much to ask from God Himself, clad in human flesh. Jesus called false teachers like you ‘sons of satan’ but you would ask FReepers for their forbearance and respect. You ask more of FReepers than God expected of Himself. You are properly labelled a God damned heretic.
