I know why you delete some of the threads and I know you have to stand for something or you will fall for anything. But as a nation we must feel what has happened to our nation today and we must be touched if we are not touched we are too cold to be homesteaders that help out neighbors. I like this form and read every day and post sometimes. Even the mighty oak bends in a strong wind Grant

No, this is an extraordinary circumstances. I don't cry easily, but I will admit I was earlier today.

Oops, sorry. I posted that, and I'm not religious. Just very emotional at the time. I had just spoken with my terrified aunt in Florida, so this hits very close to home for this Canadian. I hope I haven't started any trouble.

So, Ken, how the hell is one person's life any less valuable than hundreds, thousands? Your reasoning in deleting a prayer request for a single dying person is different than a prayer request for a hundred, a thousand? Well, to hell with Countryside too.

Goodbye.

We might be entering a dark time in this country, and in the world. Maybe it would do us all good to remember that God hears our prayers; someone deleting a thread on the internet does not let someone die or cause even one prayer to go unheard. He knows when you tried to get the word out that someone needed our prayers and will accomplish it someother way - maybe by just placing it on people's hearts to pray for everyone everywhere. Remember that God is sovereign and never forget that now is the time to accept Him as your personal Saviour and tell others about Him!

Hannah - at the root of it, I suspect that Ken is simply anti-God and anti-faith, certainly anti-Christianity. He tolerates it when he has to. The bias shows through in the plainly intellectually dishonest argument. Part of a pattern revealed over the last several months. Maybe he perceives it maybe he doesn't. Anyway, thats my assesment - and its long in the coming.

For those of you who do not vist other sites WORLD WIDE it is a world wide practice on most discussion sites to delete any posting concerning religion, prejudice, violedce, politics, pornography and sometimes profanity.

I don't believe Ken has made any opinion on these things above but is sensitive to the THOUSANDS of readers (not everyone who reads this site posts) who might be offended and therefore warned people that their postings in relation to these things may be removed - as web master he determines what stays and what goes - I am sure he does so from a neutral position which must be hard.
