“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.

Not that I agree with Mrs. Don-o much of the time, but when she wrote “You can certainly decamp from the RF and never return”, she mean the Religion Forum (RF), not Free Republic (FR) as a whole.

[Mrs. Don-o]

You are incredible. You said you would leave the RF and never come back. I replied that you are free to do so. Then you turn on a dime and call me an intolerant medievalist for --- what? "excommunicating" you --- for saying you may do as you like?

"You may do as you like" is the new mark of the brazen intolerant bigot?

I throw up my hands. You appear confused in a manner that does not invite dialogue.

Well



Yes, the Conquistadors and "the Church" were some ornery son-of-a-guns, but at least they were not on a level of brutality like Indigenous people, who lusted after control just like the Europeans but in primitive manners. Take your Howard Zinn perspective and shove off. Human nature at the core is very vile, gratitude to the Lord is why Europeans thrived.
