And I am here to defend my unalienable rights. ALL of them! Including my rights to religious freedom. Those who can’t stomach that and or don’t like my methods or priorities are perfectly free to go somewhere else or start their own websites. I won’t be changing.

Perhaps I’m misunderstanding your post, but just where did I ask you or anyone else here to change? Where did deny your or anyone else’s right to religious freedom? Is not my and other’s religious freedom just as important around here?

I understand that the evolution debate has long been a hot button topic around here. And I’ve engaged that topic from what I believe is a factual and rational point of view. If you disagree, that’s fine; we can either debate further or civically agree to disagree. But I’ve never suggested that your or other creationists POV should not be allowed, only that contrary opinions should also be allowed and subject to the same rules of engagement as those allowed by the other side of the debate and that the personal insults need to be reigned in, no matter which side they come from. Do you disagree with that Jim?

Obviously I disagree. FR is a pro-God, pro-Life, pro-Liberty conservative site. We are biased toward God, Life, Liberty, family and country.

All I'm going to say to you is that FR is what it is and I'm perfectly happy with it just the way it is. Those who don't like it and or think we're being unfair to opposing points of view can take a flying leap at a rolling donut. Because, frankly my dear, I just don't give a damn.

So you disagree that other points of view on the evolution debate are not to be tolerated here? That only a fundamentalist POV is allowed? That the faith of anyone who disagrees with a YEC POV should be called into question and that their “Christianity” is somehow false or faulty?

So in other words Jim, you think it is fine for creationists to insult anyone who disagrees with them, call them mentally retarded or insane, liberal trolls, etc. and to insult conservative Catholics by inferring that they are not “real” Christians, which I understand it against most forum’s rules, and yet when conservative and pro-life Catholics and other Christians object to that depiction based on their belief that the TOE and a 4.5 billion year old Earth is not contrary to their beliefs as Christians, they should not be able to defend themselves?

Although you and others might think otherwise, I am not nor are many other posters here against God, Life, Liberty, family and country just because we believe the Earth is a lot more than 6,000 years old. I’ve been a pro-life, free market, pro-1st and 2nd amendment, constitutional conservative all my life. While I’ve debated on the evolution and other science topics, I’ve tried to be civil and respectful of other’s religious beliefs and that civility is often not reciprocated. But it’s good to know where you stand on the topic and that you think that Christians who think that TOE is valid science or that the Earth is older than 6,000 years are not “true” Christians or “real” conservatives and that according to you, that they are no longer welcome here.

Frankly Jim, you’ve allowed this site to become a cesspool of the fringe. Please remove my account because I no longer want to be associated with Free Republic, for this and many other reasons of late, as you evidently know nothing about “Freedom” or the meaning of the word “Republic”. And quite frankly “my dear”, I don’t give a good damn what you think either.

You should really consider changing the name of this site to “Fundamentalist Republic” as that would be a more honest representation of what this once good, conservative and influential site has become.
