Anyways, just posting to say last post. Been a fun ride, but if I stay, I won't get on to other matters that have a little greater urgency on another part of the internet. Take care, and pray and wish all are well, whether or not content at the moment. We have yet to see things put into...

Well, theologically, and even philosophically, there is the belief that the world came into being from out of chaos. Or, could be said, first nothing, then chaos, and finally order when God decided how He ought to do that. While Erwin may not be God, let's at least put in some hope that maybe...

Misunderstood as such yes. In most simplistic terms, it is 'power to the people.' Demo being 'people', and -cracy having at its root 'power' or 'ability.' Both coming from Greek, which the NT, for the most part agreed anyways, was written in. Majority or 'mob' rule is the antithesis of a...

Well, if we're talking about a true attempt at a Democracy, then we're not looking at majority rules - that is very much anti-democracy because that takes away from all people having a say. In a true and full democracy, both what a majority and the minority have to say is important in the...

Amen! :clap: I second the motion if it hasn't been already. :D Pax Tecum, John

Why not? Especially in the threads specific to non-Christians, I personally think that having non-Christian mods is essential there for fairness. Certainly would keep an argument from being valid in such places that the only reason a thread was closed, or a post deleted was because all the mods...

Indeed. And that's what should hopefully happen as membership get more of a say and vote on things. The mods can't hide behind their thrones in the appeals area as easily, nor can they crony up without the membership noticing and then saying when it comes time to vote, "Remember when these...

Well, as a former conciliator, I would say don't worry. Whether with a job or not on here, what's more important, having that or being a part of the change no matter your status? I have more hope now that members are going to have a better chance to have a voice in the changes being made. To...

Feh, wasn't like the "safe" places were all that safe. They had their own problems, such as isolation and becoming desolate as one group began controlling things with an iron fist about who had the right to be there. I'm sorry, but being a Christian is not about being an elitist, IMHO Pax...

Out with the old.. in with the new. Good idea. Already considering what to do now, not having to rely on any secret forum, not to mention the faction itself, and move on to better things in life. And one of those things is to put a little hope in the culture change and new openness to come...
