I can't answer for Steve but I suspect he left because of some here who bashed his Church.
Yeah, he's missed big time.

Yeah, he's missed big time. Indeed, one of the good one's and people felt the need to roll in on his beliefs. A shame and I hope he comes back some time.

Steve is a good man and this site has lost one of it's most valuable members if he doesn't come back.

Hate to see anyone leave because of others oppinions.....however.
This is a shooting, hunting, guns forum. If everyone would keep their religious views where they belong (personal and not public) and stick to guns and shooting......no one would have any reason to trash them (except of course those who think .22 caliber rifles a great deer guns).
Keep religious veiws to your self.....believe what you want and let others do the same. Once YOU open the discussion, don't be surprised if someone disagrees.

I agree but IIRC the transgression happened in the specific area for religious discussion and it wasn't a disagreement about faith but a bigoted attack on his faith.

Teal and BMT are spot on. A few real narrow minded, uneducated, ill mannered idiots kept piling on my good friend Steve and ran him away from the Campfire.

Not necessarily or ultimately so, the final nail happened in the "Campfire" section. I only know what Steve told me, I missed most of it. Learned to stay away. I'll discuss what and why I believe what I believe but I am not going to get into a "mine v yours" argument.

Steve, if you are lurking I hope you won't let a couple of small brained individuals deter you from posting going forward. Don't forget the world is full of um'.

No idea what his faith is, not important to me. All this time I thought he worshipped at the altars of the GM diesel pickup and flat-shooting cartridges? ;O)
Come on back, DZ. We can whack the tar out of them what have no respect for their fellow man.
If three or more people think you're a dimwit, chances are at least one of them is right.

I miss his postings myself and thought I had read he stopped posting here. Hopefully he reads this and reconsiders posting his knowledge and experiences. It really is not right when a few bad apples spoil the bushel.

He is indeed a very helpful person. Don't like to see the good people leave because of the self-appointed internet heros here.

The few guys with alternative belief systems pile on Christians every chance they get. Catholics make big targets it would appear.
For a bunch of guys who claim they don't care about religion, they sure enjoy making a big deal about it.
It's not that I mind their belief system, it is that they insist on taking a piss on the belief system of everyone else.
I go to church and struggle the best I can. DZ is a gentleman. The difference between him and I is that if any man said the kind of things to me that have been said to him on this board I would stomp his ass over it.

Steve is a class act, no doubt.
