Because my opinion is not the same as yours, does not make either one of us stupid or gullible. It does not necessarily make you stupid or gullible; but it's certainly possible that you're stupid or gullible. If someone put forth a sincere, passionate defense of the "flat earth" theory, it would not automatically mean that person was stupid or gullible, but the rest of us would certainly not rule out that conclusion.
I think people are more making fun of you than attacking you. If you are going to voice the views that you do, you've got to be prepared for a little derision. As much as Free Republic tries to avoid (and delete) profanity-laced ad hominem attacks, that does not mean it's safe for the thin-skinned.

It never ceases to amaze me how people of faith seem to show so little faith in their religious doctrine. Why should something so harmless as a juvenile fantasy story cause someone such angst is quite beyond me.

"if The King James was good enough for Paul it's good enough for me" And did they explain exactly how Paul managed to read the KJV? Kind of throws my theological perspective into a metaphysical loop. Great, you can rock me to sleep tonight.

OK, if I were a Talibanner, I could understand banning whistling and kite flying. But, where is the bannable "fun" involved in pigeons? Working in the city as I do, the only "fun" I can think of involving these "rats with wings" would involve a slow fire and a spit.

To: nopardons
Pharoah's magicians turning staffs into serpents was a magic trick, and I believe you when you say it is still done today, though admit to not knowing how to perform the trick, nor caring. I suspect it is a form of mental suggestion.
Moses turning his staff into serpent was not a magical trick. Remember that Moses' staff ate all their staffs. Moses' power came directly and only from God.
Outside of reading the Bible, what do I know about witches? That as people, I'm sure some of them are well meaning individuals. You are right, I have not studied witchcraft and am no expert on it. I'm sure you know a lot more about it than I do. I do know enough about it from here and there (sorry, no bibliography will be provided) to know that it is definitely not something I want to study.
Ridicule me if you will, but I am firmly convinced that the Bible is our sufficient guide to life. I appreciate your offer to educate me on witchcraft -- I really do, because obviously it is something that means a lot to you -- but no thank you.
No, I certainly do not believe that Queen Elizabeth worships the devil. Did the article say that? I guess I should have read it more carefully. (Sorry.) I read the first few paragraphs and agreed with them. My apolgies if I've been defending the position that QE is a devil worshiper. I can see how someone would think that position is a bit off.
To: sinclair
the above statement is a bit askew! who has faith in their religious doctrine? I would never put faith in a "doctrine".

"Banned the keeping of pigeons and playing with the birds, describing it as un-Islamic. The violators will be imprisoned and the birds shall be killed."
Apparently, it was fun. They probably raced them as well.
To: dpwiener
Yeah, I think you're right. I really do not like personal attacks, and every now and then I have to go away from FR for awhile while my skin heals up! : )
To: Tennessee_Bob
Apparently, it was fun. They probably raced them as well. Or even used them to deliver non-approved messages. Makes sense to me (again, if I were a Talibanner).
