So is it your theory that any comment posted to DU that mentions the religious nature...

of bigotry and prejudice that requires these struggles in the first place, is something that actively discourages liberal believers around the country from speaking out and reclaiming their faith?

If so, that is profoundly absurd. This is a discussion board. People are free to voice their opinions and discuss issues (apparently much to your chagrin). You cannot control them or silence them, nor do you have ANY evidence whatsoever that their comments made on an anonymous message board on the Internet are responsible for progressive believers failing to become politically powerful.

Your continued insinuations otherwise are only causing division and discord - ironically bringing about the very thing you claim to oppose.
