Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
We not only believe in the Constitution and the founders freedom of speech and assembling together but we believe in your freedom to think and believe differently as well.
You do not have to believe like us and can disagree with me all you want and never have to worry about retaliation, censorship, banning, ridicule, mockery, bullying etc.......
The one and only thing we ask here is to respect the beliefs of others and treat them as you would like to be treated- the Golden Rule. Its your right to believe the way you do and to feel safe about it. And its ok to question the beliefs of others and disagree with them. An online forum is designed to discuss those differences, defend them and give a reason why you believe the way you do without fear of intimidation by others. I don't have to agree with you and vice versa but we can respect one another and treat each other as adults and act like adults in the process and not like children throwing tantrums which is evident on many other online places.
We welcome people of all faiths and for example if you are a Catholic you will not be mocked or ridiculed about Mary , the saints , sacraments or anything else regarding your faith. That is disrespectful. Even though I personally disagree with Catholics on many things about doctrine I will not let it interfere with a friendly discussion on what you believe and why you believe it. I watched on another forum recently the admin/moderators mocking the poster for believing in Mary and ridiculing them. That is unacceptable and it will not happen here or be tolerated. It’s your right and you are free to believe and think differently than we believe. I will respect your beliefs and we can talk about them as adults. The same goes for any unitarians, modalists or any other religious beliefs. You will not be mocked or ridiculed.
If you ever see us doing this please call us out. We are accountable to everyone here. And just because this is my forum doesn't mean I can behave any differently than you and I have a free pass to act like a hypocrite. That is what Pharisees did which Jesus condemned.
hope this helps !!!

Have you seen this movie? Monumental: In Search of America's National Treasure. It's documentary about the pilgrims and how they got to America and what they did once they got here. |

Still not sure how to use the quote feature brother. Johann. The more you use it the better you get at it. Just play around with it you'll figure it out. When you hit reply up in the right hand corner to get it tool bar that's pretty much Self Explanatory. If you want to text someone without including their post Click the little box with the cartoon Image of a person That says insert user link Then type in Their Name. johann21 |
