I'm curious about the voting thing that will be taking place and wondering how many "sock accounts" will be created in order to sway the vote?

Just how would an Athiest be a good pastor. The primary purpose of a pastor is to preach the Gospel.
I think this is hilarious coming from you.
I'm sorry what was it I was confused about?

That's not what staff has been told. Staff has been told that their primary job is Christian ministry.
One thing Dr. Loh mentioned that has been overlooked: He hopes to see a culture change at CF.
Folks, we need to grow up and stop acting like junior high school students with our little cliques and silly exclusion rules. It is time to act like adults.
Of course he has a knife, he always has a knife, we all have knives! It's 1183 and we're barbarians! How clear we make it. Oh, my piglets, we are the origins of war: not history's forces, nor the times, nor justice, nor the lack of it, nor causes, nor religions, nor ideas, nor kinds of government, nor any other thing. We are the killers. We breed wars. We carry it like syphilis inside. Dead bodies rot in field and stream because the living ones are rotten. For the love of God, can't we love one another just a little - that's how peace begins. We have so much to love each other for. We have such possibilities, my children. We could change the world.The Lion In Winter

But it isn't a question of compassion...?
Hopefully, there will be very few rules to even adhere to, but am speaking specifically of people who are well-liked within their own circle, but scornful of faith.
It's not about how compassionate or honest they are, cos many theists are lacking in both.
But if someone thinks Christianity is "delusional" and "for stupid people" - terms that have cropped up in GA *repeatedly*, I don't think someone with those views should be in a leading role within a Christian environment.
Think of it as a great experiment in which we the members will modify the rules and requirements of moderators as needed.
Plus, while atheists do outnumber Christians in GA, they do not outnumber Christians forum wide. I would be surprised if a single atheist makes it to moderator based on a vote.

I don't know. I am confused now.
New CF.
Very exciting.
I would "elect" a non Christian if I felt they were fair and even keeled, from what I understand moderators will be around to keep things from getting out of hand. I think anyone could do that.
Now Christian ministry that can be done by anyone in our lifestyle and our words.
Let's all HUG NOW!

Absolutely, Lisa.... I was referring to my real life pastor, not Internet moderators. In all honesty... you can be anyone that you want to be online. That is why as Christians we need to be extremely careful both in real life and on the internet; if we do not know the Word we can be easily lead astray.Yeah, I absolutely did not mean it that way. I just meant that some atheists are very fair minded and I think they would make good moderators. I would never want a pastor who was an atheist. That would be like letting in the wolf in the pasture, don't you think?
Lisa
But they'll be voted in by the people that agree with them... that's the issue in a nutshell.There's a difference between a person who respectfully disagrees, and then one who belittles like the personality you are describing.
I wouldn't make a mod out of a person who has a history of bad-mouthing any religion, because they might bad-mouth the community or something. If it was a respectful atheist, who knew how to mod, and wouldn't say disrespectful things like, "Oh God is lame, you're lame. Christianity is stupid." then I'd imagine them being on staff, but if they were to talk like that then ...well...I wouldn't think it'd be a good candidate.

Taz - as YOU forgive, so are YOU forgiven. The stigma has been lifted - wiped away and soon forgotten - at least by the rest of us.I think that the the new regime offers a solution to get a closure for those who have been severely hurt by the carryings on of the former regime. It is not asking much that the stigma of the sins of others may be lifted once and for all instead of thoose things being continually hid behind the cloud of secrecy
There is more to me than the venomous lies posted in the CR.
Okay, I am going fishing in the morning, so I have to go to bed. Have a wonderful night everyone.
Love to everyone! God bless you all!
