I've had enough of living
I've had enough of dying
I've had enough of smiling
I've had enough of crying

I've had enough.
Beginning several months ago and accelerating in recent weeks, the overarching policy of CF has been to divide people into various groups. First it was dividing Christians and non-Christians. It has reached the point now that we make fine divisions between various Christians with respect to who may post where and how we judge their posts. I see no sign of this policy being either acknowledged or reversed. What I see instead is enforcing divisions between groups of members for our convenience in moderation.
I believe this policy of division is tacitly accepted as the proper way of running this site by Senior Staff. I believe it is actively enforced by Moderation Staff. At the Administrative level, we make finer and finer divisions in the Body of Christ and at the Moderation level, we inquire as to who belongs in which portion and make sure they only post in their designated areas. These divisions are not merely denominational, of course--we find many ways to divide people.
It's all here before your eyes
Safety is a big disguise
That hides among the other lies
They divide, conquer
Well I expect I won't be heard
Because my silence is assured
Never a discouraging word
They divide and conquer

The four marks of the Church are that it is one, holy, catholic, and apostolic. Our current overarching policy of dividing Christians into various classes directly contradicts this. I understand that we take in members who are already divided amongst themselves. What at first angered and now merely saddens me is that we do nothing to overcome these divisions so that, as Jesus prayed, "they may all be one."
I cannot agree to enforce such a policy and I see no sign of any attempt to reverse this policy nor even any recognition that this has become our policy.
Accordingly, I resign effective immediately as an Administrator of Christian Forums.
