PLEASE READ AND VOTE - Event Date: 18 Mar 2018 - 31 Mar 2018

I realize folks have a right to say what they want, First Amendment etc., but this is not the place to push agendas. Same with guns, GOP vs Dems, CNN vs FNC, etc. 'Nuff said.

As I stated in my post under TV Reception, I have no personal issues with discreet non-proseletizing tag lines that have some religious belief expressed, though I would not advertise my religion in that manner.  But that being said, such tag lines inject religion into the forum and can be a flash point for conflict, just like firearms, and politics.  If one were to put a tag line quoting some controversial political figure, it would most certainly create a considerable amount of blow back.  Why should religious beliefs be treated differently?  

All good and thought provoking comments! Keep them coming.

Even if you don't comment, please cast a vote. This forum truly belongs to you. We Admins just keep the place tidy. We work our fingers to the bone (well, sort of, maybe ) to try to keep things the way you want.

I find it hard to believe that any would find Proverbs 3:13 to be offensive as wisdom is something all mankind should seek after every day we are blessed with life and air to breathe.  It is unfortunate, looking at this country's founding how we have strayed from the founding father's intentions.  An excellent read of this is included in 1060 page treatise by Benjamin F. Morris entitled "The Christian Life and Character of the Civil Institutions of the United States" written in 1864. 

That being said, I will continue to support this forum regardless of the outcome of this issue.  I do engage others on a regular basis when it comes to matters of faith, although not here as this is not the intent of the forum.  I am not offended by others views or beliefs.  Having been in countries such as Mexico, Albania, Kosovo, Guyana and Nicaragua I have seen first hand what it is like to live in countries where tolerance other others beliefs is low.  Even in the United States, tolerance is something we have all had drilled in our heads at school and college, but I find that people tend to be tolerant or expect others to be tolerant unless they are of a Biblical faith. 

David you have "smoothed things out" a couple times for me as others have shown a bit of animosity toward statements I have made in the past, Thank you!  These were in regard to replies I had made, not instigated, to questions asked of me.  All of you Administrator's have done a yeoman's job in keeping this forum running smoothly since its inception.  KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK !!!

Thought about this longer, I do agree religious comments should not be entertained, thus voted yes, but a signature block is personal and don't agree a person who uses a religious quote should be forced to remove it. Sick of this politically correct bunk and personally believe folks who have faith are good folks. That doesn't make them better than anybody else. Just makes them a believer. I hate to leave this forum, it's been good for me, but I don't need the whiny sniveling people who can't communicate across differences to solve real RPod issues. That is what this forum did and does. I would think about why you are here and what you want from this forum, not my job to save your life, it's my time to assist you with an issue and provide assistance. Think about it.
