I read more closely, and see that you were quoting a Moderator, sorry.
However, I worry about these threads and their divisiveness, their ability to give ammunition to atheists and weaken those already weak.
On the other hand, what do we do when we find fraud such as this site?
Well, some of us try to shed light on such deception.
You know, atheists aren't jumping up and down demanding to be known as Christian, and atheists aren't going out every year more than 60,000 strong trying to convert Christians by telling them that their beliefs are wrong and that they, the atheists have the ONLY truth.
And it is working, this LDS based site is proof. They are getting more bold, more desperate, going with a subtle but a direct approach. Their numbers are dropping, the Internet is exposing them. So now they have been moving to a “if we can't beat ‘em will appear to join ‘em” approach.
Now is not the time to back down...
But among those who can agree on so much are serious disagreements over theological beliefs and therefore we have the Religion Forum.
It must be remembered that most often when one belief spawns from a previous one, both sides condemn each other in the harshest terms they can muster (heresy, anathema, apostate, cult, demonic, etc.) and often those condemnations become part of the official doctrine and documents.
It must also be remembered that a Freeper’s religious belief is often more deeply held than his political or ideological beliefs. And so he is compelled to speak up, particularly if he is an "ex."
The “open” threads on the Religion Forum exist so that Freepers can air their differences as if in a town square. The “ecumenical” threads in the RF are for polite discussion of differences.
Three other thread types are “safe harbor” where no disagreement is tolerated: prayer, devotional and caucus. Posters who are offended by religious disagreement should stay on those types of threads.
By far, most of the ‘real estate’ on the RF is held by caucus, prayer and devotional threads.
Neverthless, lurkers and posters alike can be drawn like moths to a flame on “open” threads. But if they are thin skinned they shouldn't even read them.
