My concern is biblically that CF should run without non-Christian's involvement of the administration. For a long time, I am for the non-Christians to moderate the non-Christian sections however, based on some exteme's attittude, I am thinking twice.
I think that is a very good idea Brim.I think that would be a good rule to give your Christian mods as well.
Seriously folks, do you want to talk about the junk that we've gotten in PMs from mods over the years? Do you seriously think somehow the prospect that someone like Raven might actually tell someone seeking answers what she thinks would constitute a new low or even an unusual threat to the credibility of the site?
If the goal is to ensure that people seeking help get access to the right voice, as per the site, then a sound ministry team, composed of people with real qualifications, and a policy of referring folks to them is a sounds tep in that direction. With or without non-Christian mods. Beyond that, if someone would still like to speak to a non-Christian about their problems, mod or otherwise, then you have exactly what you have now.
I think there are bigger things in the balance than a single soul, but I don't think this is going to be the end-all factor in a ministerial approach to a single person.
If it's one or the other I vote 2, but it can be both Christian & still outreach to the community as a whole.
Jim, I could tell you countless believers who were pulled away from Christ in the non-Christian religion forum by non-Christians promoting their own religion. And that was with Christians mods watching over that area. that is an example of why there should only be Christian staffers. think of what will happen to that area in itself with non-Christian mods..

Bigger things than a single soul?
What, pray tell, are they?

So, y'all really do not care that a soul is hanging in the balance here?
I guess y'all are right. This ISN'T the place for atheists afterall.

It was more than just answering a question.Well, before you continue being snippy with me, I was just answering a question. Out of context, I suppose it may seem like an attack, but it wasn't. It was an explanation of why the word bigotry was being used in the context of this thread.
Many souls. Not every seeker is going to respond the same way to these changes. The ones who are honestly interested in becoming a Christian, but need a bit of a nudge (so to speak) are going to be poisoned by the placation they'll receive here.Bigger things than a single soul?

Absolutely, as long as Christians remain on this board, there will be outreach!
Good question.I don't know if this has been asked already, but...
How are we going to determine a clear victory in the poll? I mean... right now we've got a 60-40 split here and that means that if either side won, there would be a substantial amount of people unhappy with this decision.
Should there be majority minimums applied to this poll? Or will this really come down to such divisions?
with all due respect Concetta... I'm sure that a good moderator would refer such religious questions and/or prayer requests/issues to fellow Christian moderators right now today, but what about tomorrow? There is no guarantee that the future new non-Christian mods will also do this. Also, on the board where there are fellowship areas and non-Christian areas... I have had several non-Christians come to me and inquire about Christ and request prayers because they know that I'm a Christian. Many people all over the board are searching and thus, that is why we need Christian moderators on every forum, but I do like the idea that Just an observer suggested... assistant moderators.
