I guess I had a fantasy version of this website, where one could express their opinion. Religion is part of that, as it is a huge part of my lifesytle. Freedom of speech doesn’t end when you walk into a church.
Again, this situation is very sad. Voices surpressed, again, I thought it would take a couple more years for that to happen.
Please express yourself on another thread
I’m pretty sure in most churches people don’t jump up during a prayer and start debating the person leading the prayer in the middle.
Makes sense to me, what you’re saying, about no debate in the religion forum.
Maybe it makes sense to pray for Nero, after all, St. Paul wrote we should do that...
I’m struggling with deep anger, though, that we sold our nation’s soul for a mess of pottage.
Don’t quite know what to do about that...

why can't you deal with it and respect the wishes of others? if you cannot, you are free to leave. it's a private site supported by private donations. the owner's wishes stand.
i am not religious. never, ever go to church. i never have occasion to go to the religious threads, but i respect the prayer threads. they are very important to our mission as a whole.
The wrath of God will be upon us, guaranteed. The pray for peace thing is over. It is time to stand up against evil. I will never pray for him, or agree with anyone who prays for him. His dye is cast. He is who he is, and none of it is good. I am embarrassed of this country now, and anyone who supports him in any way. I have not seen one sign that this being has good intentions for anyone except himself.
I see clearly who he is.
Believe me, I will.
I always log in through my beeber. That makes it impossible to accidentally log out and inadvertently stune yourself.
You really don't know much about this website, do you?
Prayer threads are not for debate. When they are having prayer in your church, do you stand up and complain that the pastor's sermon has theological flaws? Do you complain that the people that the pastor is praying for do not deserve prayer?
If you want to start your own "No Debate" thread, just check out the rules on the Religion Moderator's forum page.
There are plenty of religion threads where you can cut your theological teeth. Prayer threads are not among them.
paper or plastic
Amen....I assume I can safely say this on this thread, without being censured?
I agree. It’s nonsensical. Just make it a “Pray for our nation” thread. Leave Obama out of it.
very good. aisle or window?
We’ve had prayer threads on this forum for years on which we ask our posters to be respectful. A prayer thread is no place for the rough and tumble political debate.
Thanks
I bet Rev Wright would not put up with it
If this thread gets locked, it will be pretty funny.
Why keep banging your head against the wall?
Is this the hill you want to die on?
Personally I think there are better hills.....
But I am just an Okie...........

calm down.....
sleep on it.... you might understand in the morning, but right now you are just offended and reacting..everyone is trying to explain, you are not hearing...
Window. Thanks.
Good Evening Jim
