Ooops

And per Jim this site just like this nation...Judeo-Christian principles, but SECULAR.
If this site was ONLY for Christians, there's NOTHING at all about THAT posted anywhere and it would loose a lot of very good posters.
IF it were a Christian site, since Jim is a Catholic, would ONLY Catholics be allowed to post/be members?
And IF, as you claim, we are a Christian nation, why didn't the FFs throw out the Jews? Oh that's right...many of the Jewish families had been here longer than many of the Christians.
You’re nuts!
That’s a good sign.
Maybe its best to let Jim speak for himself

The key points in my understanding are:
“We aggressively defend our God-given and first amendment guaranteed rights to free speech, free press, free religion, and freedom of association, as well as our constitutional right to control the use and content of our own personal private property.”
and
“Our God-given liberty and freedoms are not negotiable.”
YMMV
Sorry, I was wrong; didn't mean anything "bad" by it. I was just trying to make a point. :-(
That doesn’t mean that this site is for Christians ONLY, or that it is a CHRISTIAN site. Jim is talking about the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
Curious that a secular site would promote God given rights don’t you think>
Innocent error. No biggie.
This site was started due to the WHITEWATER scandals.
It's a POLITICAL site for Conservatives...no matter what religion they believe in, or even no religious affiliation!
It didn't have a religion section for YEARS!
Show me just WHERE Jim has said that THIS IS A CHRISTIANS ONLY SITE.
Paul Ryan can you hear me now PING
I’m so embarrassed; I meant NO harm. Yes, it was an innocent mistake and I have NO idea, now, none at all, why I thought that he was Catholic. :-(
I never said this was a Christian only site, I said I did not get the memo that it was a secular site.
Maybe you are correct, all I have to go by are the posts of the owner, you may be privy to inside information.....
Likely because he’s had to intervene on behalf of our Catholics during those silly arguments on the religious threads.
This site began as a CONSERVATIVE, POLITICAL, ANTI-CLINTONS, WHITEWATEER SCANDAL SITE! Got that? Do I need to put it even simpler words, for ya?
I began reading this site late in '97 and read for almost a year before I joined and posted.
Back then, there were even two chat rooms...THE ALLEY and the FR CHAT ROOM.
Religion was NOT a topic discussed all that much, if at all. Oh sure, we all got a good laugh over Slick Willie carrying around a HUGE Bible, once the scandals hit.
I don't know WHY you are having such a hissy fit over this.
We are a Christian nation and we are not a Christian nation.
You are correct saying we are not a Christian nation, and the founders set us up as such so that Christianity would not monopolize the government and oppress people who practice other religions.
I think when people say we are a Christian nation, they mean that the vast majority of Americans are Christian. 75% of Americans self identify as Christians. It would be hard for us to be much more Christian as a nation.
75% Christian as opposed to...
2% Jewish
1% Muslim
1/2% Hindu
1/2% Buddhist
Everything else just gets smaller than that.
So when one religion is practiced by 75% of the nation and the next is practiced by 2%, I don’t blame people for saying this is a Christian nation. It is. By practice. Not by design but it is by practice.
Well, I don’t go on the religion section ( I did go a couple of times, when it was new, but those fights were disgusting and I wanted NO part of any of that! ), but perhaps that’s why. I believe that all of those fights are VERY destructive and extremely unChristian!
Those arguments are a horror show. Hateful and destructive. I avoid that forum like the zika virus.
