@westernmom,
Oh boy, here we go.
I support Ron Paul. I follow his topics and news, and post new topics about him. Nothing is stopping you from doing the same for the candidate YOU support. I'm not trying to convert anyone to any belief. I just personally think he's the best choice this time 'round. Others will certainly disagree, and I encourage the debate that stems from that.
Not once did i try to convert anyone from being a democrat or republican into a libertarian.
What was happening in the religion forum was that a lot of threads started to turn into a "recruitment" to a particular religion.
Recruitment is not discussion and/or debate, and is thus off topic for this forum. Mom, you're right that you're not seeing much of this, and that is EXACTLY what i'm trying to stop with the new rule. I want to get this forum back on topic of discussion and debate of ideals/ideas/philosophy of teachings rather than Islam 4: Christianity: 0; score board type threads that have been filling this forum as of late. It is NOT a competition.
Every religion sucks just as much as every religion is perfect. And there is a person who associates with one best, and that is there choice.
You are free to have a signature with a couple links if you wish. I do, and most the posters above me do as well. I own those other sites, as well as this one, so it's easy to cross-promote other topics that perhaps someone else here is interested in.
