Let's not confuse 'angry with Christianity' with God-hating, OK?But they'll be voted in by the people that agree with them... that's the issue in a nutshell.
In sounds so beautiful in theory, but if you've spent any time in GA, or the Current Affairs forum... scary places, with an awful lot of God-hating going on. It could be so uncomfortable if one of the main "antagonists" was to be voted onto staff because within their own forum they're incredibly popular.
Brave indeed! Unfortunately it reminds me too much of pof religious forumI would add the subtitle in place of yours: "A brave stab at hope".
Maybe...but I remember a rather heated debate in GT about 1.5 years ago which was rather similar in terms of posts per minute.
The Mod issue does need to be adressed...I do not believe non-Christian Mods are the best idea...True...
How would the gifts of the Spirit be operational in one who denies the Spirit???
? They're different animals.Let's not confuse 'angry with Christianity' with God-hating, OK?
How about non-Christian mods only in non-Christian sections?The Mod issue does need to be adressed...I do not believe non-Christian Mods are the best idea...
We need Mod who are led by the Spirit and walk in love and humility!!!!
Tough issue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The one on justification? That was a wild one. Nearly killed the battery in my laptop!
I joined staff to help out, it actually takes more out of me as staff than when I was not a staff member.
Which is why I'm leaving staff and putting it here, in public, for all to see so if anyone cares they don't have to go off speculating.The answer to your question is that yes many many are fired because they are unpopular. What does the Scripture say about itching ears?
He is in control whether we want him to be or not
May the mind of Christ, my Savior,
Live in me from day to day,
By His love and power controlling
All I do and say.
May the Word of God dwell richly
In my heart from hour to hour,
So that all may see I triumph
Only through His power.
May the peace of God my Father
Rule my life in everything,
That I may be calm to comfort
Sick and sorrowing.
May the love of Jesus fill me
As the waters fill the sea;
Him exalting, self abasing,
This is victory.
May I run the race before me,
Strong and brave to face the foe,
Looking only unto Jesus
As I onward go.
May His beauty rest upon me,
As I seek the lost to win,
And may they forget the channel,
Seeing only Him.
I hope we atheists can behave ourselves.
As much as I disagree with Christian theology, I respect the right of Christians to have a place where they can go to discuss issues amongst each other without having every thread devolve into an attempt to prove to an atheist that God really exists.
I know I will try to be respectful of theads where it is apparent that an atheist's perspective is neither sought nor appreciated. I hope my fellow atheists will do the same.
We want to keep the mods who are fair and unbiased. We will LOVE to be able to get rid of the power-tripping ones.

I don't do popularity contests of any sort. I just don't. I don't know if I'm "liked" enough to be kept around or hated enough to get the boot. That isn't the point.
I don't even like the mod of the month thing and gringe when my name goes up! Why? Because in school I was the one whose name never had a checkmark or vote beside it. Never picked for the kickball team even though I was good. I was the quiet nerd in the corner everybody loathed.
Now, why is this something I just can't handle? Because eventually there will be a vote for mods and someone who is really lovely, who does a lot behind the scenes for people, who is smart and funny and compassionate and would be a great mod won't have a checkmark next to their name or get a vote because they are quiet, or because they aren't in the right clique or something. And it will hurt.
Sorry. I just can't do it.
I'll still be around playing my little verse games and stuff and of course keeping my dollie well dressed, but that is why I'll be leaving staff. And thinking about the person on the ballot who might get hurt, I'm equally reminded it's high time to apologize to any member or fellow staff whom I have hurt with deeds or words. I apologize.
I wish CF the best and hope it goes great.
