I have attempted multiple times to engage the Staff in a reasonable discussion on the removal of Universalism from orthodoxy on the basis of its supposed inconsistency with the Nicene Creed (which I have definitively defended, by showing that even Augustine declared Universalists orthodox 30+ years after the expanded edition of the Nicene Creed was formed in 381), and have at every point found nothing but disrespect and irrationality.
I am truly at a loss. I don't know who to ask about this matter anymore. I have made three threads in the Complaint forum (a new one for each one that gets closed), and have yet to receive any indication that Staff has actually read my argument. I do not see how anyone once reading my argument could possibly suggest that Universalism runs counter to the Nicene Creed. It is as ridiculous as the idea that Christ is separate from the Nicene Creed.
What we are finding is bias; bias against Universalism, bias against free thought, bias against systems of Christianity that, while orthodox, do not fit well with those on Staff.
I am wholly embarrassed to have spent a short time serving on Staff. The ignorance I have found there is disheartening. I am not certain I shall ever find a fair or thoughtful mind amongst the whole lot.
