    I removed the religion forum for now

    No more religion forum. It's wasting time and removing some of the focus of why I started speakup.

    To remove our "government" fiefdoms from our pockets. Taking our money and handing it over to other people. And pissing our money away which most wny'ers work their asses off for.

    Since this IS Speak Up WNY , I doth protest........this GREAT country (if you don't like it , move somewhere else in the world !) was founded on religious principles , we NEED to go back to our founding father's roots & worship seriously again , it's a part of our community , a VERY important part , some of best & most sincere leaders are religious & honest , part of the solution of making WNY better again lies in the religious community , I think it's wrong to pull something that's as important as God out , so the atheists win again , the dumbing of America wins out.........God bless you res , you're going to need it , my prayers will still go out to you & ALL members of this "secular" MB..........(P.S. Can you spell "bad karma ?)

    It doesn't bother me, I hardly posted there. I stand strong in my beliefs, but that permeates every aspect of my life. Thus, it permeates my posts.
    I can't put my faith in a box and bring it out when I need it. That would be like taking my heart out and using it only when I needed it. I have no life without my heart and I have no life without the LORD Jesus Christ. It's who I am. I won't change that, ever. If you find this displeasing, know you are not the first and won't be the last.

    you know you're right mesue , trying to take God out of any equation , does not diminish OUR faith...in fact when Jesus sent His desciples to preach the Gospel , He said to still bless those that don't receive Him , & YOUR blessings will be double as you'll get their blessings bestowed upon you.....

    CAN WE START AN ATHEIST FORUM?? ..AND A GAY FORUM?
    We need to be an equal opportunity platform of opinions.

    If you google WNY Speakup - here's what you get: " Speakup's HOT topic of the Week! What's the buzz around WNY ..... Local religious issues or how world/national religious issues affect WNY.

    All I can say is that they have tried hard to keep God out of our country (schools, etc) and look at where we are at now.

    "another" , this is the res' MB , it's not a democracy , the poll could be 90% for & 10% against , & it wouldn't matter.......Personally I think it's a mistake , I'm just wondering who will be the first to be banned for using scripture in a thread or post ? Think about it.........

    It was based on the choosing of your own religion , not a state or federal forced national religion............but still based on a worship of a Supreme Being (God) , not cows , horses , marrying them , & I know because I've quite a bit about the first group of "Founding Fathers" & they were not atheists.....also , we've ALREADY done the thread about gay atheist eskimoes.........

    For a brief second, the thread's title LOOKED LIKE:

    "I've removed religion from all the forums." Swear that's what I saw and upon seeing that I rejoiced unto the redeemer and lo, a celestial light cast down upon me from the firmament bathing me in wisdom, peace and God's love, for he hath saved this sinner's soul!

    "I've removed religion from all the forums" would have been a "terrible" thing to do. Really. Honest.
    Coincidence is the word we use when we can't see the levers and pulleys.

    Some thoughts from the heart:
    To some even the mention of God brings disdain
    To me God is to be worshiped and glorified
    To some God is taboo
    To me God is my all in all
    To some God is relegated to crisis
    To me God is to be consulted in all things
    To some God is something to be swept under a rock
    To me God is my rock

    This board will not be the same without the religion forum, but hopefully the next step is not censorship.
