It is humorous to see a thread on censorship. I don't know of any open air preachers who are spineless and TOLERANT... come on, we're not those flaky televangelists you see on TV late at night!
If you have found this website, you should already know this from personal experience. Yet you still want to whine about censorship... you are waisting your time.

I'm going to do the same. I also apologize for losing my temper in the past.
Jefffuller: What is your argument? It sounds like you're saying we should just shut up and deal with it.

Jeff, I didn't come here because I wanted to antagonize or convert any of these people. I came to this board with the intent of gaining more understanding of their point of view. I can learn from everyone regardless of my agreement or disagreement with their philosophy of life. At the same time, we are asked questions. In many cases valid and thought-provoking responses, which took much time and effort to craft have been deleted with little regard for actual content. Yes, these people may be open air preachers. They may (or may not) be spineless and tolerant, but I expect to recieve some measure of respect from them. If they truly want an open discussion, censorship is detrimental to that discussion. What was the point of your comment? Would you rather that our ideas not be presented on your message board? Perhaps we should have to pass a test on theology before becoming members.

...Jesse, just your face. I'm not into the tall, light, stupid types. But plenty of guys in Midtown are, so don't dispair... Yeah, sounds like you are here for meaningful discussion which draws from enlightened thought! You said in an earlier post, "My concern is that there is no standard for censorship. It is completely at your discretion..." This IS the OpenAirOutreach Message Board, am I correct? So why wouldn't it be at their discretion to edit (censor) the posts at their discretion? These OA preachers spend a lot of time studying the most intolerant (an yet best-selling) book of all time. So if they practice the Biblical message that they preach... why do you whine if they are intolerant toward some of your views and censor some of the things you say?
