Non-Christians can post in the more "Societal" sections, which is something I've never seen before. This is nice... and I love how it encourages healthy online "relationships" or dialogues between people who hadn't had that chance before on this website.
However, I think that there are some places where it should be limited to Christians-only (forums such as Edification, for example), where it only makes sense that Christians can converse or ask questions, to encourage each other within the faith without having to have threads de-rail because of side debates. (I know that debates within the Christian faith also occur and that this can sometimes be an unhealthy endeavor, but assuming these threads are moderated as they should be, I would
hope that any
unhealthy debate or denomination-bashing would be squelched
immediately.
Yes. I agree that there
should be places where Non-Christians can post freely and discuss topics with others, regardless of religion or creed. I, personally, don't feel that Theology should've been turned into Christian-Only -- that just doesn't make any sense to me.
Based on this recent event and the fact that you were asking to include a Theology section for Non-Christians, I was
hoping that this wouldn't
eventually turn into a gradual process of turning CF back into the Christian vs. Non-Christian Messageboard.
There exist many Forums and Subforums where it just makes sense to me to have it be integrated. However, there exist others (albeit fewer) where it makes sense to keep it Christian-Only (this
is Christian Forums, after all) I don't know, maybe that doesn't make any sense..
I think that you are misunderstanding me. Hopefully, I explained myself a little better up there ^
