This has NOTHING to do with being liberal or the UPC.

Cannot have upci doctrine if you do not attend church, since apostolic doctrine involves church attendance.

Though it could have something to do with being backslid.

Sorry ... I had a submerged moment.

Just using your analogy of cloistered monastics to venture with other possible analogies, was all.

I really don't know what good it does to complain about what a forum has become. A forum is made up of the people who are there. You can't force people to post. I guess if we want a more diverse (or more narrow) viewpoint represented, we need to canvass for new members??

Or we can take our toys and join a forum more to our liking.

FyI, there has always been complaining about the state of this forum. Always!!! Either too liberal (miss you DA) or too conservative (conservative admins banning libs, miss you St Matt). It's been a roller coaster ride at times.

I have said this before when conservatives complain about this forum (and I know, I know, it isn't supposed to be about conservative versus liberal views, but it really does come down to that) and it's "intolerant" views about OP ideas, they always neglect to mention that people get BANNED for expressing liberal views on other forums -thinking of EA.

It reminds me of a (verbatim) quote by the great Ronaldus Magnus speaking about leftist protesters in South America, "If these people got the government they wanted, they would not be allowed to do what they are doing."

Maybe. But I've noticed the tendency to be quite intolerable towards conservative views here. A forum becomes what it's owners and administrators allow and propagate.

All it would take is more conservatives stating their viewpoint to combat that. The owners and admins are not at all unwelcoming to conservatives.
