You can't hold a whole religion forum responsible for the behavior of a few, sick perverted individuals. For if you do, then shouldn't we blame the Free Republic site? And if the whole Free Republic site is guilty, then isn't this an indictment of our free speech in general? I put it to you, Brian: isn't this an indictment of our entire American society? Well, you can do what you you want to us, but we're not going to sit here and listen to you badmouth the United States of America!
Sounds like a taste of what we’d get under a Catholic monarchy.
So much for freedom of speech.
Nope, it's only an indictment of the current status quo of the subforum called the Religion Forum. I was opposed to it from day one because (as it should have been obvious to all with a modicum of prudence and wisdom) what this thread is about was a foregone conclusion the moment all Christian discussion was banished to its own ghetto.
Sometimes you hate to say "I told you so."
Not this time.
I told you so, years ago, and no one listened. All that's left is to shut it down and learn from mistakes.
