As I posted, you’re free to create your own site at your own expense. Purposefully dividing this community is not the intent of the site.

The creators of FR provided the Religion Forum with intention, as part of their commitment to our Constitutional freedoms, and it has been within the scope of their design that we should be able to freely discuss our religious differences, providing we maintain a certain level of civility.  It's in keeping with us being a free republic.  These differences we have are real, and we will have to deal with them until the return of Christ.  Far better we have a place like this we can come to and exchange strongly worded opinions, than fight a religious war in some Middle Eastern desert, the end point of which is the suppression of this very kind of speech.  If the darkness of an Islamic caliphate ever fell over this country, we would be one of the first sites shut down, and every one here who participated here in proclaiming Jesus as the only salvation provided by God would become hunted men and women.  It is not an impossible outcome.  Until that day arrives, we should exercise our freedom to proclaim the Gospel, according to the best light God gives us (hint: Scripture), with a strong and unrelenting voice.  As difficult as they seem to be for some here, we may not always have the pleasure of these good days, or of each other's good company.  A good thing often isn't missed until it's gone.

Peace,

SR

So inferring isn’t our strong suit here: My original post wayyyyyy up thread was to show that Islamists are silencing us all over the globe while keyboard warriors blame Catholics for this and Protestants for that. Pray for our world, it’s on fire.

I think it’s worth pointing out that the muslims would just as happily torch a Catholic as a Protestant and consider their god well served.
