Both. You know I have been crystal clear on that subject! I put 83.7% of the blame on DA for the cons and ultra cons taking their marbles and going to play in their own playground.

Re: The REAL Reason CONS have left or rarely post
The real reason that cons don't post more is that CC1 charges them $10 a word. (and when your words are mostly 4 or less letters it gets way to expensive to post).

Therefore, if one domino falls, they all fall. The Libs believe in justification by faith alone, but still baptize in Jesus' name and receive the HG etc, so the "holiness" issues are not heaven or hell. Herein lies the problem.
So when the cons get backed into a corner with something other than "God told me" rather than admit there might even be the slimmest possibility of error, they run for the hills and scream "heretic, pervert, compromiser" etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. (in my best Yul Brynner imitation)
The cons are FAR more passionate because, to them, most things are tied to salvation. Look what happens when a prominent ministers is called on the carpet for false doctrine.....they come unglued. "Don't touch God's anointed!"
Most Cons are simply intolerant of anything that is different from them because of the salvation issue. ALL Cons are welcome here. But they better have more than tradition to back up why they preach heaven or hell on any issue. When they can't, many times, they whine, cry, pout and run away. THAT is why there are so many schisms in the conservative movement. They are so critical of each other because the "other" person is "messing" with salvation.
I don't buy your idea that there is an agenda or that the Cons would be happy if certain posters leave. The door swings both ways. If the cons can't be tolerant, that's not my problem....it's theirs and they just have to deal with it. However, over the decades, I have seen how most of them deal with it. It is either with a big club or exodus!  |
The best post of this thread!

Re: The REAL Reason CONS have left or rarely post
Senores, Senoras and Senoritas,
This may be the thread mas estupido in all of forum landia.
It is almost as dumb as when one of my former santos at the church threw his wife over a cliff. When the police officer asked him why he'd done it - he said, "Tequila! Tequila!"
Paz de Cristo,
OM

It also keeps the discourse at that grade school level I understand. Those "college" sized words get just too expensive.
(I once made over one thousand dollars from one of Bishop1's stories!)
