A moral question

From the "new subscribed threads" page:

Invite your friends to Christian Forums by sending them to this link and get 10 blessings for each referred registration:

Would it be moral to send my friends to CF just so I get 10 blessings?

 

[Lilly of the Valley]

IMO no.

 

[quatona]

IMO no.

Lilly, I didn´t want you to tell me your mere opinion, I actually expected you to tell me the Objective Truth!

i hate the change of CP

i hid that thing...but cant make my recen threads to appear
without an extra click

so no
is not fair,is not moral

and 10 blessings...not sure about that one ether

 

[Merlin]

Sure.
Why not?

 

[AutumnDreamer]

Why would it not be moral? Isn't that the purpose of the 10 blessings? As an incentive to invite people?

I think it's an interesting question to ask if it is moral to refer people to CF? I've seen several people here who have lost their faith, I've seen others who claim to have left because of "unChristian treatment by other Christians".

Of course, I ran this by my husband (who did have his faith hurt by his participation on CF) and he said "You guys have far too much time on your hands."

No. If it were 100, though...

Interesting aspects!
However, I felt that this question had a couple of interesting facets, and it´s interesting to see from which perspective other posters see it.
Here are thoughts that I had when posting this thread:
It was not so much the question, whether inviting people to CF is immoral, but whether the motive of being "materially"rewarded is "good" one.
Of to be more precise: Is it a good idea to tempt people into doing things they wouldn´t do otherwise by promising them material reward?
In fact my spontaneous inner response when reading it was: Who do they think I am? What in me is that supposed to appeal to? If I would think it´s a good idea to invite my friends here, I would do it without getting 30 silvers (or 10 blessings). If I don´t, I wouldn´t do it.even for 5000 blessings. (Lvthyn: ).
I guess I was surprised by that approach, particularly on a site that takes pride in its spirituality: Wouldn´t it be more congenial and in line with the spirit of this site to simply remind people: "Hey, don´t you think one or the other of your friends would enjoy the benefits of CF, too? How about inviting them?"

Ok, I will complicate the moral issue
I will give everyone who is tempted to sell someone (whom he wouldn´t invite here, anyways) to CF for 10 blessings 20 blessings if they don´t do it.
