As the only New Age Catholic on this forum, I'm screwed!

I assure you if you do get screwed that won't be the reason.

I thought Pigs ate anything that they could get their snouts near (I was raised in the city though....)

Consequently, the question whether the Religion Forum will remain much longer as a feature of Free Republic, at least in its present format, is very much up in the air.

Ummmm....uh....I'll hold my tongue and simply add a ping...

Religion Forum Ghetto about to be totally liquidated ping!

See Post #33.

Not angry. Resolved.

In the words of that great theologian Foghorn Leghorn..."It's a joke, son!"

That is true, however when they are sucking gravy it is very difficult for them to manipulate the keys on their keyboards. Hence you shouldn't be able to find any gravy sucking pigs posting in the religion forum.

Most of the gravy sucking pigs that I know of are posting at DU and using voice recognition software.

[CARepubGal]

LOLOL! And the GSP (gravy sucking pigs) are unwashed and sort of resemble Michael Moore (ewwwww). :-)

Of course it's a joke. However, I've noticed in the past week that jokes are a bit sparse around here; just didn't want anyone to get the wrong impression.

You suppose Jonathan Edwards would agree? Hard to tell from his writings.

[Ex-Wretch]

Not sure, but didn't the Lord cast all the gravy out of them Shiley pigs before they ran off the cliff and drowned? Gravy bad.

[Corin Stormhands]

Any of this gettin' thru to ya son?

[AAABEST]

Religion bashing is one of my pet peeves and handling the disruptive flamers is an idea past its due.

Kudos and my humble apologies if seemed to indicate otherwise. My typing doesn't always come out the way I would like.

[drstevej]

I know ig-pay atin-lay.

(NOTE: This post does not associate pigs with Latin and should not be construed as an attack on either hispanics or Catholics. Whew, this is gonna be tough!)

[CARepubGal]

Are you not understanding what the mod said Corin or do you simply pick fights for fun? Your motives are a bit unclear to me. Please explain without fingerpointing and accusing. Thanks!

[american colleen]

LOL!

[Polycarp IV]

Thanks. As I'm sure you are aware, I've thought this Religion Forum Ghetto was a bad idea from day one, and its foregone conclusion would be this kind of internecine warfare you're trying to stop.

Any "Conservative" political movement in America must be animated by a continual reference to, and analysis of, the intersection between faith and politics.

"Conservatism" needs definition on a forum like this:

Main Entry: con·ser·va·tism
Pronunciation: k&n-'s&r-v&-"ti-z&m
Function: noun
Date: 1835
1 capitalized a : the principles and policies of a Conservative party b : the Conservative party
2 a : disposition in politics to preserve what is established b : a political philosophy based on tradition and social stability, stressing established institutions, and preferring gradual development to abrupt change
3 : the tendency to prefer an existing or traditional situation to change

Personally I believe that a political philosophy based on tradition and social stability, stressing established institutions in America is, by definition, based on Judeo-Christian tradition and social stability.

Therefore, I do not shy away from calling those self proclaimed conservatives here on FreeRepublic.com "A Conservative News Forum" back to the very roots of that "Conservatism, " namely Judeo-Christian principles and belief. Christianity is integral to the continuance of Conservatism in America and thus The Necessity for Christianity on Free Republic.

I would like to see an ongoing, charitable discussion and debate on the defintion of, and basis/roots of, the "Conservative" aspect of FreeRepublic.com "A Conservative News Forum."

Oh well, I guess that old post from my profile page was just a pipe dream on this "conservative news forum."

Perhaps you should read Alex's Post 45 and click my link before you say anything else.

You should take your concerns in Post #56 to Jim Robinson.

By the way, your tag line isn't helping.
