nice dodge.Affording them the same courtesy and respect means allowing them to participate in discussions here. And not just the discussions we let them have. All discussions
We said that you don't want to afford them the same courtesy and respect you afford Christians (A).Dannager neither of you can demonstrate where ive stated what was claimed nor could you in this post show where i stated they didnt deserve respect - im sorry you cannot put words in my mouth then switch gears when i ask to see those words i never said.
Example- you stated that ive been saying others are unworthy of respect and courtesy - when asked where i stated otherwise - you said this which glossed over both your false claim and my response and didnt adress what was stated nice dodge.
Not playing this game.
If the purpose of CF is to demonstrate the superiority of Christianity, what purpose is served by showing it to be a belief of discrimination and other words that I won't use because people find them so offensive.
But people should note that it's not the words themselves that are offensive, but the meaning behind them. You want to be able to engage in certain behaviors without having those behaviors properly and demonstrably labeled.
And the purpose of Christians is to reach out to non-Christians.The purpose of CF is for Christians
Then why read things in that aren't said. Let's just along. Isn't that what this forum is all about?Dannager neither of you can demonstrate where ive stated what was claimed nor could you in this post show where i stated they didnt deserve respect - im sorry you cannot put words in my mouth then switch gears when i ask to see those words i never said.

And as I said over 5 zillion times, I agree. However, that has nothing to do with CF.And the purpose of Christians is to reach out to non-Christians.
LOL.Really? Tell that to the man whom I led to Christ via PM.

LOL.
Don't misunderstand me, please.
Sure, we can witness to non-Believers. However, the point of CF is for Christians and their fellowship.
I'm not at all saying that we should not allow non-Believers, that'd be ridiculous too.
How is that disagreeing with what I'm saying?I disagree. We have two commands, not one. We are to love one another (Fellowship) and bring the gospel to the world (Outreach) It is both.

Well, as a Christian, I know no Atheist as a brother nor sister. So, I don't think I can accept having an Atheist being "one of us".Because you said that this site should be for fellowship, and I took that as fellowship alone. It sounds as if atheists are visitors rather than members. If that is the case, then, we should have treated our "guests" alot better than we have.

If Atheists feel compelled to be a part of a Christian community (which strangely doesn't make any sense to me), then I'll accept having open threads throughout the boards.
We do need, however, stronger rules regarding offering Atheistic beliefs and such throughout the boards. This is a Christian forum, let's keep it that way.
I'm done with this thread; I've already voted as I'm sure you have, so there's no need discussing it.

Ok, but I fail to see why anyone wouldn't want to help someone see god...Well, as a Christian, I know no Atheist as a brother nor sister. So, I don't think I can accept having an Atheist being "one of us".

Agreed. I'd rather give people the benefit of the doubt than turn them away.Okay, I guess I just see atheists as potential brothers and sisters.
