I'm not in any official capacity part of this board, just a frequent poster.
Recently, "General Talk" on Patsfans has become a forum for Christian proselytizing.
For adults, this material can range from "required reading" for those who already "believe," to downright insulting to those who hold other religious, or non-religious views. It is neverltheless "free speech," as is any other speech which may or may not insult a given party (such as Jews, singled out by Christians for prosyletizing tactics, for historical and theological reasons.) Even as a Christian, you may find that the brand of Christianity pushed here is not the brand you want to promote. The choice, of course, is up to the individual.
BUT IF YOU ARE A PARENT, be aware that this board is being used to prosyletize. You may choose to use the materials here as a teaching aid; you may not want the materials presented here to be your childrens' next stop after reading reports from Patriots' practices (or whatever.)
You decide.
Thanks,
PFnV
PS, yes, I have posted this info before, but the thread got into personal recriminations. This is just cleaner than bumping up the other one.
