LOL you are a piece of work. What about the libertarian, CT and homosexual lobby fanatics who post here? Mr. Libertarian you can't silence one philosophical voice or view, let all others opine and expect to be called libertarian.

Mr. Constitution I and every person of faith or religion has a First Amendment Right to freely exercise our religion AND as with all Americans the freedom of speech. Now if Goldi wants to limit those rights on her forum fine, but call it "Limited Libertypost" to accurately portray the site.

For someone who opines daily on the rights of individuals yet wants a particular philosophical thought suppressed is complete hypocrisy.

Please examine yourself.

Poster Comment: Tpaine -- yet another closeted out-of-the-woodwork Stalinist libertarian/Militant Atheist and anti-Christian -- was exposed and called out for his utter and complete blatant hypocrisy. Courtesy, redleghunter..

Redleghunter is apparently one of those "religious fanatics" tpaine referred to. Tpaine -- a HUGE so-called "constitutionalist" and crusader for libertarianism -- was emboldened and still intoxicated and inspired by Goldi-Lox's "fanatic jesus"/you make me VOMIT!" comment.

Will Mr. Constitution "comprende" Hunting Season when its declared on hypocritical Libertarians? Chyeah, Paine -- We ALL saw what happened when one Closet Christian-Hater got called out on his fake "libertarian" and select memory of the US Constitution.

It all still doesn't explain how you'd concluded that Christianity, aka "religious fanaticism took too much control."

Or the meme of how Goldie supposedly safeguarded LP from it as though it were an unchecked cancer. Christians did NOT monopolize or control the forum.

Fact is, Free Speech was blunted. You endorsed it. And NO, there never was any such Christian "fanaticism" at LP. EVER.

All because you weren't allowed to hijack every thread at LP to shove religion at Goldi or Marguerite or meguro or whoever?

Lol, you're now officially insane. I'd LOVE for you to back up that scurrilous charge.

Backstabbing? Try "calling out." Fine, then defend your bullshit.

Stop your endless moderating and straddling the fence of principle. When "fanatical Christians" were maligned and slandered, WHERE WERE YOU to defend the faith AND charge? (no where.)

Invoking "Trutherism" wins you no debate either. It's the same as calling someone a "homophobe," racist," "anti-semetic", "Islamophobe," etc. Designed purely to shut down debate without examining all the facts. I'm not going to belabor that issue with you. If you want to believe Official Fairy Tales, who am I to tell you otherwise?

I never liked threadjacking. In the old days on Usenet (late 80's), we had mods who were quite strict about it.

Liberator (#90) -- Are those laws about converting you to Christianity?

Pete --- No,they are about forcing me at gunpoint to live according to your Christian version of Sharia Law.

Lib --- Any coercion or threats involved? --- Yes or No

Pete -- Yes. Starting with fines and evolving to time in prison.

Lib -- And whomever did so committed a criminal act (however, they did NOT act upon ANY Biblical/Christian principles -- know THAT.) Did you report it to the proper authorities at the time?

Here we have it sports fans, a clear example of liberators circular argument ploy. The argument is about religious 'shiria' style law, and liberators asserts that whoever violated that questionable 'law', committed a criminal act..

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof", --- refers to freedom from STATE religion, and freedom OF religion.

Yes, the MOSTLY Christian Founders are THE ones who specified that no STATE religion be enforced or coerced upon the citizenry as a matter of Constitutionality.

Thank you for conceding that point.

And that's "FREEDOM OF RELIGION," Einstein, in the context of freely worshipping as one pleases.

The free exercise clause applies, and is quoted just above. Read much?

It all still doesn't explain how you'd concluded that Christianity, aka "religious fanaticism took too much control."

So you concede both of my points above, and now want to divert back to one of my comments at LP? I explained that comment on the thread you cited. Get off the circular argument bit.

Or the meme of how Goldie supposedly safeguarded LP from it as though it were an unchecked cancer. Christians did NOT monopolize or control the forum.

Because she made it so.

Frankly I did not see anyone "storm out." Those that did leave had good cause to do so. The Name of Jesus Christ was blasphemed on the "vomit" thread. Christ's followers were "bagged and tagged" as extremists. So those that left had a good cause to do so and every right to defend their faith and beliefs.

Goldi later clarified her position but never apologized. It was her site so people can come and go.

She's gone now so let's all stop stepping on her grave. We should give it up now. All is in God's Hands now. Goldi is no longer with us to opine one way or the other.

Back in the 1950's there was a Blue Law prohibiting retail sales on Sunday, in Ohio. It made weekend shopping tough.

Regardless of faith, everyone needs a day off. Chick Fil A is closed on Sunday.

Motorcycle shops used to be closed on Monday. Race on Sunday, pick up the pieces and recover on Monday.

There's nothing wrong with a day off. Attempts to legislate morality are frequently based on religion. Alcohol, drugs, prostitution and others, government should just butt out of. The D&R party is giving religion a bad name. Being a Christian doesn't have to be painful, IMO.

religious fundamentalists

Y'all throw out that fundamentalist moniker quite often. When in fact it is nothing like what it means.

FIVE FUNDAMENTALS OF THE FAITH There are five fundamentals of the faith which are essential for Christianity, and upon which we agree: 1. The Deity of our Lord Jesus Christ (John 1:1; John 20:28; Hebrews 1:8-9).

2. The Virgin Birth (Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:23; Luke 1:27).

3. The Blood Atonement (Acts 20:28; Romans 3:25, 5:9; Ephesians 1:7; Hebrews 9:12-14).

4. The Bodily Resurrection (Luke 24:36-46; 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, 15:14-15).

5. The inerrancy of the scriptures themselves (Psalms 12:6-7; Romans 15:4; 2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:20).

At the beginning of the 20th century those who held to the above were called "fundamentalists."

I believe all of the above! Guilty as charged! So did our nation's founders!

The Declaration of Independence laid the cornerstone of human government upon the first precepts of Christianity. - John Adams

The general principles on which the fathers achieved independence were the general principles of Christianity. I will avow that I then believed, and now believe, that those general principles of Christianity are as eternal and immutable as the existence and attributes of God. - John Adams

The general principles on which the fathers achieved independence were the general principles of Christianity. I will avow that I then believed, and now believe, that those general principles of Christianity are as eternal and immutable as the existence and attributes of God. - John Adams

“The United States in Congress assembled … recommend this edition of the Bible to the inhabitants of the United States … a neat edition of the Holy Scriptures for the use of schools.” - United States Congress 1782 -

It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great Nation was founded not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. - Patrick Henry -

The Scriptures tell us righteousness exalteth a Nation.” - Abigail Adams

"The only foundation for . . . a republic is to be laid in Religion. Without this there can be no virtue, and without virtue there can be no liberty, and liberty is the object and life of all republican governments.” - Benjamin Rush -

You had a Religion category at LP too. Know what, it didn't get much use. So that was why those posters had to come out of their own Religion category so they could proselytize their way across the entire forum.

Serious question. You don't see Christianity as a worldview? In which people live by a certain morality and apply such to politics, culture and society?

What I posed above is close to what Gary posed to Goldi about 3 years ago. She conceded he was correct.

On the effort to proselytize? I have to say it is not proselytizing to proclaim one's Christian worldview on the evils of abortion, the Alinsky tactics of the homosexual lobby and the general eroding of the family base in America. Pointing out America is in the crapper due to secularism and a rejection our Judeo Christian founding is not proselytizing. It is pointing out the giant wart on the tip of the nose everyone pretends to not see.

Let the children…be carefully instructed in the principles and obligations of the Christian religion. This is the most essential part of education. - Benjamin Rush -

What "sharia" type laws are Christians pushing on fellow Americans?

Reading the threads it seems that was the question posed.

I will add the silent rule of freedom of speech. You can choose not to listen or read what others post. I do it a lot myself.

I tend to use the Proverbs 26:4-5 principle.

Holiness to the Lord (Exodus 28:26, 30:30, Isaiah 23:18, Zechariah 14:20) - Washington Monument

Search the Scriptures (John 5:39) - Washington Monument

The memory of the just is blessed (Proverbs 10:7) - Washington Monument

“We have staked the whole future of our new nation, not upon the power of government; far from it. We have staked the future of all our political constitutions upon the capacity of each of ourselves to govern ourselves according to the moral principles of the Ten Commandments.” - James Madison

I sensed that as well with her last two responses to me. So I let it go.

In retrospect we now know she may not have been well at the time of the postings in question.

That's why we should all let it go. Employ the Christian principal of forgiveness even when one does not seek it or refuses it.

No it wasn't painful for a very long time in the US. Why? Because the majority of folks were Christian, or practicing Christians, or professing Christians or didn't care about being Christian but appreciated all those hard working Christians who kept their property tidy and their businesses fully employed.

This comes to mind:

My father in law was a very early riser for his work. Up at 2:30am, cup of Joe and a bagel out the door by 3am.

He had to drive 45 min to work. At one time if he did not fill his car the evening before he would be up the creek. So yeah he loved it when a few convenience gas stations opened nearby in his rural town.

So you'd be fine with some aggressive JWs and Mormons and Muslims and Buddhists to come to your news forum to enjoy their own freedom of speech and to proclaim their worldview too?

Are you sure you favor that if you are in a minority? How much Mormon preaching and theology do you want to have on general news threads of all types?

I don't favor it at all on news threads. Let news be news and religion be religion. There isn't that much crossover between the two in news stories. Look down the list of Drudge's stories. They are some type of news (world, national, health/medicine, legal, policing, etc.) or religion.

The only real issue with Goldi was that she didn't want every news thread she (and the rest of us) clicked to go a couple of posts and turn into a 20-page theological debate.


BTW, I see jwpegler is spending money to produce his site from a big media company. He's doing his best to copy some familiar elements from these P sites (menus, categories). A lot of slick Bootstrap.js and CSS to make it run well on tablets and cellphones and it appears ready to run on touch screen devices. He provides an article title and photo and a link to the source website and he provides a comments thread (with no news article on it). Technically proficient but still looks kinda sterile and lame. I'm not sure what direction he will take with it. It has to be costing him even if they are just adapting a generic template design they offer to other customers. The company's site is surprisingly barren overall. I may be overestimating them.

There's little doubt his designer has been visiting the P forums, LP or LF most likely.

-1- So you'd be fine with some aggressive JWs and Mormons and Muslims and Buddhists to come to your news forum to enjoy their own freedom of speech and to proclaim their worldview too?

-2- Are you sure you favor that if you are in a minority? How much Mormon preaching and theology do you want to have on general news threads of all types?

-3- I don't favor it at all on news threads. Let news be news and religion be religion. There isn't that much crossover between the two in news stories. Look down the list of Drudge's stories. They are some type of news (world, national, health/medicine, legal, policing, etc.) or religion.

-4- The only real issue with Goldi was that she didn't want every news thread she (and the rest of us) clicked to go a couple of posts and turn into a 20-page theological debate.

-1- This isn't my forum, but I personally have no problem with civil free speech. I don't mind hearing the views of different faiths, I often enjoy the discussion.

-2- The internet is a really big place. If I ever felt uncomfortable somewhere, then I would find another place. After all, that's why I came here in the first place -- to be at a site where posting about Christianity was OK.

-3- For some people, religion affects every part of their life. If their posts are really that offensive to you, then why not just bozo them and not worry about it?

-4- That wasn't happening there and hasn't been happening here. IMHO, people who are offended by the occasional mention of Christian beliefs are really being quite hypersensitive. Like I said, many of us came here specifically to have the freedom to talk about religious stuff -- so why should it be changed now?

Here we have it sports fans, a clear example of liberators circular argument ploy. The argument is about religious 'shiria' style law, and liberators asserts that whoever violated that questionable 'law', committed a criminal act..

What "sharia" type laws are Christians pushing on fellow Americans?

Good grief red, you've probably been on these sites as long as I, and you should know by now the hot button issues.

Reading the threads it seems that was the question posed.

Yep, and its been answered ad nauseam.

Did you think of that flick because I happened to use the phrase "DVDA extravaganza" earlier today? LOL.

I have no problem with the above. It happens often over at TOS and an opportunity to shine a bright light on their belief system. One lady thanked a thread contribution on JWs as she said she now had an answer for them when they come to the door.

Mormons are too easy. You just have to quote the BOM and watch them deny such quotes as real. I'd say on a site like this one, they would freely leave after having a bright light shine on their actual doctrines and not the slick snake oil presentations they do door to door.

So yes, they can come but like all of us they should expect to suit up properly for a contact sport. Also I do believe the head to head religion topics stay on the religion tab. TOS does that too and a good idea. However there will be "spillage" when issues of morality and direction of our country come up. Christianity is a worldview thanks to our founders. They were not shy about that at all. They made sure no one denomination ruled over our country as in most European nations. However the founders give ample evidence this nation was not to be Godless or without Judeo Christian ideals. Most actually saw the propagation of liberty through Christian faith.

I don't favor it at all on news threads. Let news be news and religion be religion. There isn't that much crossover between the two in news stories. Look down the list of Drudge's stories. They are some type of news (world, national, health/medicine, legal, policing, etc.) or religion.

Of course. If you have a faith or religion news article it goes in the proper folder here. When I post faith pieces here it goes in religion or bible study. Stone has both here. If an article about abortion comes up under American politics, then I will express such an issue based on my Evangelical Christian worldview. People can listen or converse with me, their choice. If someone asks why I believe what I do, I will point them to scriptures as the Bible influences how I vote. If someone wants to be a bumkis after I post such and carry on with an atheist screed or inaccurate comments about Christ and Christians I will respond. If someone calls me or others a homophobe for taking a conservative Biblical stance on marriage...I am going to respond no matter the posting category. If someone posts that The USA was founded by deist secularism, I will respond.

Back in 2011 (thereabouts) Sally after a warning about posting categories clearly stated she understood that regular news articles would evoke religious discussions as sometimes you cannot separate the issues.

Lastly, I pinged a few others to get opinions and to not gang up.

The grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of our God stands forever.”(Isaiah 40:8)

You miss the point entirely. At LP, every thread was fair game for threadjacking into theology. Certainly, there were many off-topic postings on various topics but changing a thread into a religious discussion was by far the most common one. That was what annoyed Goldi, that is what it was all about.

And, I have to say, the martyr routine wears a little thin after a while. It is not the second coming of Stalin for any website to expect users to post religious posts in, yes, the Religion category.

That is true. But no more than about 10% of the time. The vast majority of stories do easily separate into proper categories. The same is true of sports. At least 90% of sports stories belong in a sports section, maybe 95% or more. But an NFL quarterback running a dogfighting ring will be reported as regular news. A player thumping his wife around an elevator will be regular news. And so on.

A properly moderated site puts stories in their proper categories and keeps threads on-topic. This is why people are willing to pay TOS to do this kind of forum moderation.
