One thing I love about the org is its tolerance and commitment to free speech. I would hate for this forum to tern into another liberal, evolutionary, atheistic, topics only thread. If someone says something that others dont like, they are smart enough to know that person can avoid any thread they like. Hopefully like me they dont care.


I enjoy threads of viewpoints that challenge me. I hope you can learn to as well. Of course sinful unregenerate mankind heart hates its creator it is rebelling, so of course does not want to be reminded of him.
