They can ban for any reason or no reason I would think. Just as we do not have to come here. And I support that.

Well any worship outside of worshipping the one God with such worship acknowledging Jesus as our savior is the equivalent of atheism. The distinguishing characteristics are exercises in folly.

Was something to see that black bear go after a momma dear only to snatch up the baby she was trying to divert the bear from. My ex-boyfriend did census counts on deer, elk, and bear after Mt. St. Helens blew. I loved going with him.

And look at the mess we made! It's all so sad.

Amendment 1 - Freedom of Religion, Press, Expression. Ratified 12/15/1791. Note

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

A devil worship site would not have to allow Christians on. And I am always amazed that I am allowed to evangelize on a board like this.

But as I said. Eric is free to ban you for any reason or no reason. It is his board. Or at least he is the all powerful administrator here.
