I can't help adding that your "very safe assumption" that this forum "revolves around predetermined variables in ideology" is verifiably false.
Most of the squeaking, squawking and feather-ruffling amongst the denizens of the RF would cease if this were the Kingdom of Predetermined Variables. It would be both a lot more peaceful and a lot less engaging
But stay in your own cubbyhole if it suits you. Ciao!
“You can certainly decamp from the RF and never return”.
Really? If you question, do not submit, or absolutely agree to the ideology then go away to never return? This frame of mind is straight out of the dark ages. Hence the predetermined variables...
See... Now there is the exact non-objective biased radical extremism I try to avoid. A prime example of the religious stoning I mention... I didn’t say one thing about the FR in general as a whole, just that I choose to stay out of the “religion” category because of the extreme intolerance for anything that even hints of heresy.
Now you wish excommunicate me from the whole thing because I accidentally stepped into the wrong room? The religion category is NOT the whole thing and what gave you the self providence and self righteousness to imply this or demand this?
Great example of Christian tolerance, forgiveness, and compassion. Thank you for the very example I spoke of... It more than well proves my point.
