The theology sections have been deemed "Christian Only".
This effectively drives non-Christians not merely to the back of the bus but off the bus entirely.
It has also raised concerns about impending faith-icon witch-hunts by self-appointed heresy sniffers for whom adherence to the Nicene creed would not be sufficient Christian buttsniff to satisfy conformity-demands for the pack (dog socialization ritual analogy here, not trying to be gross).



i.e., "Are YOU one of US??? Or do we ATTACK NOW???"

The trouble is that when we are truthful, the answer must always be "No." So let's ask the question a different way.

Has Jesus given everything for you? Has he dedicated his whole life to you? Has he invited you into his heart? And the answer to that is a glorious and gracious and conscious, freeing, comforting YES!

Perhaps because it was. For the record Moriah have I ever been rude or arrogant towards you?

I will make a challenge. Every Staffer who posts, "There will be no forced icon-changes," will pledge on their honor to resign from any position at CF if there are any forced icon-changes.

Are you willing to put your position of power on the line?

I know. You are a person of honor.

I also know there will be Staffers who are not willing to take up this challenge. You do, too.

Not you personally, no, but many of those you implicitly defended by your statement have been, pretty much in precisely the same type of terms as what it posted there to illustrate. And just to clarify -- it did not seek to be rude or arrogant toward you by what it posted, but merely to illustrate the point.

Has there been an explanation for the decision posted anywhere? Perhaps it would help if we knew the reason for the decision.
