Then your idea has already failed. VBulletin is not made by Christian programmers. The tech support department for the servers is not staffed by Christians. Etc and so on. Why does this remind me of a Steve Taylor song?

I'm hesitant to share my thoughts--- I don't think them being twisted around and those who truly know me, know how I am, they know me by my fruit. I'm staying for now---I'll try to wait this out but I'm not sure.

I know what you mean. I may appear to be new here but I am not. I "put away" my other name and quit for awhile due to the rules. I came back to monitor the change which I knew it was coming.

thank GOD. I've been a member here for almost FOUR YEARS, it's time some restrictions are put on some of the power-hungry and selectively abusive staff who use their position to silence non-christians through any means necessary.

No more vague rules, which are only enforced on non-christians.
No more christians pretending to be the arbitrator of who is or isnt christian.

Thank you!!!!!!

Difference is, He didn't let them preach their heresy as truth and showed them the error of their ways. That is not what's being done here.
It's anything goes in the spirit of the church of what's happening now. If it makes you feel good, it can't be a sin, just worship however and don't worry about the devil, he doesn't exist and can't hurt you.
Heresy, plain and simple.

Why would the tech support people of this site need to be Christian?

Is your church's plumber a Christian?

Is the bank where your church has its accounts "Christian"?

I agree that ideally, it would be nice to have all Christians running the site, but that may not be practical, just like the local roto-rooter guy in your town may not be a Christian, but it's either call him up, or have crap all over your bathroom!

I'm curious. Have any non-Nicene-affirming members said anything in these two threads that has required babysitting or smacked of confrontation? This is really the first test isn't it? How is it working out so far in these nearly 2000 posts in under 24 hours?

Again how will you preach the truth when it becomes against the rules?
IF that happens, then I will quietly walk away from CF.

But that has not happened, nor do I belive that it is part of Erwin's vision for the site for that to happen. So, I will give him the benefit of the doubt for now, and see how he plans to implement these changes.

See? This kind of thing happens all the time. Maybe with the new CF rules, people will actually be encouraged to be more honest?

I've been here since 2003 in one form or another, and I've seen this place evolve longer than many of you have. Sure, I'm a sock, cuz my other account got banned because an overzealous mod soaked my it with infractions for things that shouldn't have even been warnings.

I made this account after that happened with the intent on challenging it, but I knew as high up as he was, it would never come out in my favor.

This is a day I never thought I'ld see, real reform. So I celebrate by doing something I never thought I'ld do, coming clean.

What's wrong with socks ?
Nothing at all. I have one, in fact. But I wonder when people feel the need to use one in this particular thread, as if they can't speak honestly in their normal username.

Now that is news to me. Hopefully the "quiet" Christians will get elected as well.
My point exactly!I took the letter literally as a form of prejudice,Because I do believe in god and I do believe myself to be a GODfearin CHRISTIAN woman.No one has the right here to deny me on the grounds of not speeking enough about my faith.I know there are some moderators here. If you don't mind me asking?do you all go and preech sermans in the congregation threads?Help me out here I'm really trying hard to understand this...
