This! Remember about 7 years ago RN_Mom daily threw such fireballs in Freerepublic.com? There were daily debates like this. Jim Robinson banned RN Mom.

Yes, due to a certain poster who went to excess ("The Catholic bashing here got out of hand"), and thus

Notice: The daily sport of posting Catholic bashing threads on FR stops today. Thanks.July 19, 2014 | Jim Robinson

The posting was to excess, though such can be being provoked by Catholic posting the time. I think the push to protect Caths was mainly due to the whining of a certain po$ter whom we see little from now.

And which RCs saw/see as favoring them, who much use FR as a informational and apologetical mouthpiece, though since that time Jim has pulled some provocative RC threads, and he at least opined that Francis "is wrong about a lot of things.would do well to stick to his knitting."

What constitutes "Catholic bashing" was purposely left somewhat ambiguous, but (in seeking to understand the position) I see that he has stated,

Participants on “open” threads on the Religion Forum are given lots of leeway to debate, criticize—even ridicule things they don’t believe (within reason and as long as they don’t make it personal). Please refer to the Religion Forum rules: http://www.freerepublic.com/~religionmoderator/ You’ve got to have a thick skin on open debate threads on that forum. I don’t so I avoid the place as much as possible. And I don’t belong to any organized religion.

And Jim stated, that " "I am a Protestant, ... The daily attack threads against Catholics was getting to be way out of bounds. Day after day, the same posters posting the same kind of garbage. It was sickening to me and I’m not Catholic. I’ve put a stop to it. If I think daily attack threads against protestants is getting out of hand I’ll address it. Right ow I don’t see it as a problem.

And,

I’ve always been up front about it. FR is pro-God. That is the one true Judeo-Christian God of the Holy Bible. We will worship none other. And no false gospel shall be taught here as Truth.

And he opposed Mormonism (which I surmise seems once used FR to promote itself), stating that Free Republic is a pro-God site. The one and only true Judeo-Christian God as taught to us by KJV with no additional editing or books of fiction. I have zero faith in Joseph Smith or his so-called Mormon religion and do not want it taught on FR as gospel. Joe Smith was a false prophet and his book is false gospel (look it up in KJV). Those who cannot live with that are certainly free to post elsewhere.

And stated "Mormons should post elsewhere."

But broadly,

stated that Catholics, Protestants, Evangelicals, Jews, etc, are not the enemy. ALL conservative pro-life, pro-family pro-America believers in our one true Judeo-Christian God are our guests, friends and allies in this effort, so please don't attack your allies! Attacks on religion are not going to convert anyone. Please save your ammunition for the enemy.

And

As a conservative site, Free Republic is pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-Constitution, pro-Bill of Rights, pro-gun, pro-limited government, pro-private property rights, pro-limited taxes, pro-capitalism, pro-national defense, pro-freedom, and-pro America. We oppose all forms of liberalism, socialism, fascism, pacifism, totalitarianism, anarchism, government enforced atheism, abortionism, feminism, homosexualism, racism, wacko environmentalism, judicial activism, etc.

Hope this helps to at least clarify.

So unable to refute, they threaten with banishment. Everyone religious..........."except those who refute false cults". Those? We banish. RCCers constantly here and in every place on earth write all sorts of lies against and bash real Christians, even here, unstopped, daily in fact. You refute them? You are gone. Badge of honor, thanks. Keep your threats. You have a real Judge to stand in front of, with a banishment unspeakable, except you repent and believe in the LORD Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 4:10 [KJV])
We are fools for Christ's sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are honourable, but we are despised.

(1 Corinthians 4:11-13 [KJV]) Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwellingplace; And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it: Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day. How 'bout.............I do not care? Yeah, that's it. His, Bobby Z.
