"Why would you pay money and spend time to post messages about religion on a web site that is dedicated to stocks and investing?" Phil, First, we are in the Coffee Shop section and not the investment web site. This is a place where people come to discuss whatever interets and entertains them. Secondly, I am an investor and use SI for investment information. What are you doing wasting time in the Coffee Shop instead of doing your research on the investment threads? Why are you only concerned with my freedom to do this? There are threads attacking Christians and Christinaity. Why aren't you concerned with those threads? The feelings thread has vicious antichristian propagandist, why aren't you upset with them?(I uphold their right to express their ideas) I have read posts from individuals that said that Christians should be exterminated and never heard a protest from those who would destroy freedom of speech now. One guy---I bookmarded his post---said that Christians should be crucified for their lies just as Jesus was. The dogooders on this thread never protested such a hateful post because some are probably antichristian and agree. SI has created a unique situation for people to dicusss their interest and ideas. If you don't like it, don't participate. Go to the threads that you like. This is America and not Saudi Arabia or modern Israel where freedom of speech is despised. This attempt as censorship by Chicken is plainly an antichristian censorship! He has no problems with the antichristian blasphemies that are posted. His crusade is directed against the 1st Amend. and free speech rights of certain Christians---nothing else. He feels no moral indignation when people attack Christ or Christians. He only feels indignation when people expose the false teachings of antichristian religions. He doesn't possess the ability or spiritual fortitude to defend his ideas, only the ability to criticise and distort other peoples beliefs in their backs. When they want an open discussion to defend their ideas, he attempts to shut them up while he continues his attacks. (Plese go back and read Chicken's posts against me when he thought I could no longer defend myself. He actually gloats when he thinks I can no longer post to defend his false charges and innuendo. Is this the fair and just man he is trying to pretend to be, or is this a bigot with no sense of fiar play and justice. I think his attitude and behaviour speak for themselves on this thread directed against the 1st Amend. When he is faced, he crumbles and calls for censorship. Finally, the old timers on this thread created an dynamic and creative atmosphere that became very inviting for thousand to join us in open and heated discussions in both investment threads as well as the Coffee Shop. The late and newcomers who were attracted to this dynamic atmosphere are now trying to change things and destroy the freedom that has been on SI for almost 3 yrs. Why? Emile
