My suggestion is don’t read it.
guess what, we have Catholic members...... And shock, there is a religion topic to post in..... Oh the huge manatee.
and BooBoo1000 has been online here since 1999? just asking, that’s all
I'm a Roman Catholic who would normally find a post like yours offensive, but for some reason I can't explain there's something about it that actually makes it quite entertaining in a "Howard Dean Scream" sort of way.
LOL, and "May the wind be always at your back!"
You are neither scrappleface nor Don Rickles...
NO, Bwaney’s a Catholic.
Debate on church doctrine and or threads on specific religious matters may be best posted in the religion forum, but the defense of religious freedom, especially against those who wish to deprive us of same belongs front and center on FR.
They banned God and prayer and creationism from public schools and public places, but I’ll be damned if they’re gonna ban Him or it from FR!
BooBoo -
It’s like Talk Radio’ that Zero and his minions want to go after (because they can’t take criticism). It’s called ‘the free market’. If you DON’T like it.........change the channel. Simple.
Hey, I’ll play. I just don’t like the gratuitous insults.
1. JimRob is rightly outraged that God and Christ have been exiled from the public square in America by the globalist oligarchy--increasingly over the last decades.
2. Jim is particularly not about to exclude prayer threads given prayer has been excluded from our schools in any formal way.
3. Conservatives are overwhelmingly God-fearing Christians.
4. Such Christians--hopefully most of them--earnestly seek to have God involved in the whole of their lives and construe reality THROUGH THEIR CHRISTIAN WORLD VIEW.
5. Therefore, it is virtually impossible for earnest Christians to discuss politics or anything else apart form their Christianity.
6. JimRob has wisely and graciously set aside the RELIGION FORUM for exclusively discussing religion on FR.
7. The Religion Moderator is an excellent person with great gifts, maturity, fairness, wisdom, courage, stamina, perspective, balance, experience . . . and moderates the forum about as expertly as anyone could and certainly head and shoulders above any other similar function ever filled on this forum or any other.
8. The RM has established caucus threads for WITHIN group protected discussions and OPEN threads for vigorous exchanges and ecumenical for calm discourses.
9. IF YOU WANT TO AVOID THE RELIGION THREADS, avoid clicking on the whole FORUM button at the top as all religion threads are included in that listing.
10. IIRC, You'll need to click only on NEWS/ACTIVISM probably every time you reboot or login to avoid the generic listing of all threads if your cookie has ended up being set and includes all forums.
11. I'm quite annoyed at the Roman Catholic efforts to turn FR into an arm of the Vatican as well. However, I don't think anything further can be done about that within the bounds of fairness. Other perspectives could post MORE for more balance but that's not likely either.
12. Some evangelicals and even some of us Charismatics/Pentecostals hold forth on various topics from time to time. Nevertheless, the RC's are probably one of the most if not the most rabidly vigorous and parochial flagwavers of any of the Christian brands. At least many of them are not luke warm. Good on them for that.
13. Gracioiusness, charity, civility, and understanding are reasonable and vital things to extend to other FREEPRS regardless of their perspective and world view.
14. Certainly any of us can write idiocies from time to time and no doubt a host of fierce posters will declare such to be the case. However, we can all endeavor to extend to one another the grace we'd like to receive in our daily lives . . . and help make FR a more civil place than it otherwise can be at times.
CHEERS.
LMAO!
Wow. I.....I.....I'm speechless. I wasn't expecting an answer.
Just to be clear, the "beautiful one" is Jesus, right? Not Mary?
He did not attack any individual FREEPER.
Ideas, perspectives etc. are fair game.
Some folks might consider buying some thicker skin at Tandy Leather or 7/11.
Absolutely!
No time to discuss hogwash, but I am sure Bozo1000 is an expert at hogs and their wash.

We need thicker sink people!
Come on!
