Absolute baloney.

But you aren’t alone in this belief, as there are others who agree. I’ve met them, over and over again. I always ask, “Where is YOUR several thousand year old “book”?

I’ve noticed a lot of MSM publications don’t capitalize Bible anymore, but I haven’t noticed it with the spell checkers.

I just tried it and the FR spellchecker wants to capitalize both islam and koran but not Bible-had to do it manually. The word “Christian” was automatically capitalized.

That’s blatantly false.

As a rule I will not capitalize islam, koran, mohammad or anything else related to that cult of death.

I heard that argument before but I have faith that God is wise enough to make sure that His Word will remain intact and be sufficient to teach, guide, and give us salvation until His return.

I wasn’t referring to FreeRepublic. I was referring to every post to every article from any source.

What rule is this? Ridiculous. Capitalizing proper nouns has nothing to do with respect. It is about adhering to the established rules of written English language.

Don't like Islam? That's fine, but refusing to capitalize proper nouns is no less ignorant than trying to argue that 2+2=5 because you don't like 4.

Psalm 40:7 Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me.

No one can tell me why all things islam gets a prompt to capitalize but no prompt for anything Christian.

Because the "system" has become hating of the true and living God, run by satan and his cohorts. It is obvious and becoming more so all the time. They are fools and shall soon know it.
