I respectfully and publically suggest that you use your YouTube channel and get a facebook page. Get a blog and a website dedicated to you if you don't already have them, and publicize your videos all you want from those locations. You obviously have a cause, and that's understandable, but I don't think this forum is the appropriate venue to proselytise. Just as cooks don't come here to talk about how great their degreaser sponsor or their disease affiliated causes are every week, I think telling the brethren how great your religeon is after every competition would fall into the same bucket, but doubly so because relegion itslef is a touchy subject in a public forum. I'm happy that you are happy with your faith, but please keep it to yourself and your own web pages.

Wow, just wow. If you see a post from Jeff just skip over it. Kind of like passing over the religious channels on TV.

WOW!! Nuff said right there!!!
That's often sentiment from people who agree with the original post, but I wonder if your tune would change if a person posted videos claiming how Islam was the only true religeon and that the prophet Muhammed was the one to believe. Please remember that I stated my requests respectfully, and responses should be in the same tone....

Your freedom comes from your government, not your deity.
I would just pass over that post....I used to be very single minded when it came to other's views. But I have mellowed over the years. Life is too short for me get worked up over people's views.
Respectfully, this is not technically true. Congress recognized freedom of expression as a God given right. The first amendment says Congress will not pass laws to interfere with those rights.
...but I'm not familiar with the legal document which defines the freedom of expression as a "god given right." Care to share a reference to that?
Declaration of Independence....
I like that we can agree to disagree. I'm usually not this passionate about things, but as a Legislative Specialist on the Hill, some things just trigger my brain to respond. Sorry if I came off heavy-handed.
I'm not surprized, or offended...no reason to be. inappropriate in this case is subjective.... and Everything comes from God.I never dictated. I suggested. Your freedom comes from your government, not your deity. Regardless, if you're going to continue to preach religion in a non-religious environment, you shouldn't be surprised nor get so offended that others find in inappropriate.

BBQ for me is a ministry... It's as much BBQ as pits, meats, rubs and marinades.
