The 'church' touts itself as having all of the answers for life's questions - it's different than simple house rules. The church should be available to help people in all venues it chooses to expose itself to, and limiting their ability to express themselves by narrowing the focus to only what the church wants to discuss, does not display anything other than blind prejudice. If it were any other group forum beside one that claims to be the love/light of the world, I would agree with you entirely. But as it is, Christians claiming to be good, then using that 'good' status to browbeat others, only demonstrates the opposite of what they claim to be.So they're hypocritical and bigoted in their attitude. They don't represent all Christians, as we know, and it's still their online forum. I agree about the failings of that brand of Christianity, but they are entitled to limit speech on their forum in any way they see fit.
And we are entitled to read it and call them bigots and hypocrites. Ain't free and open speech grand?
