Same here. We know better.
For some of us, the moral/religious liberty issues are the most important issues of the day.
The decline in morality, and in understanding of the religious basis of our country's founding are critical to every other problem we're having.
So we feel that there is a need to continue and expand the discussion.
There's a big difference between the religious (or badly behaved) threads at TOS and the (mostly) civil discussions here. I'm actually glad Jazzhead posts his opinions because he represents the secularists whose views have completely distorted what the Founders intended, and it's good to debate the Constitutional and moral issues he opposes.
I think it's all good. And if people don't like these kinds of discussions, as I said above, it's easy to stay away.
