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.

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

You have had many nice replies explaining to you why that thread is what it is....

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...........

You really don't understand the "Freedom of Speech" thing do you? Can always tell those types when they think that "Freedom of Speech" applies everywhere including private property.

Voices surpressed, again, I thought it would take a couple more years for that to happen.

Don't seem like your voice is being too surpressed(sic) to me.

Have you ever read 1 Corinthians, 14th chapter?

[mnehring]

Funny, you don’t seem to have a problem expressing your opinion, you just don’t like to have rules as to respecting another person’s prayer... hmmmm...

THERE’S NO SUPPRESSION.

Which word do you not understand?

Saying that family debates must take place in the family room instead of the kitchen

is NOT suppression of voices nor views!

SHEESH!

ahem..testing...testing...1,2,3

“Freedom of speech” is a Constitutional restriction placed on the Federal government...not a private web site.

Looks like you are blowing your horn pretty loud on this thread. Perhaps lessons in expressing your opinion without being an obnoxious individual would be appropriate.

Are you operating under some sort of delusion that freedom of speech is a universal right? There is no freedom of speech at Free Republic, nor is there at any church in America unless the pastor or congregation decide that there is.

Feel free to do that ... but not on a closed thread that is dedicated to prayers. Don't judge all of FR based on your opinion of one thread.
