I feel like I'm deceiving people, which is something I did not want to do. Please read my profile.
I'm going to hide the cross. I've gotten a zillion rep points in the last half hour and I'm afraid to look at the comments.
I apologize.
For the most part it is the Christians that I see that have poor behavior. Some of the posts are very disappointing.
Erwin gives into the conservatives whining
darn it
Is there a option of changing SOME rules? But not all?Hi members
This poll, started by drstevej, was PMed to me recently. I think that it does make a good point and I wanted it moved out of the Conservative Christians forum to the Announcement forum to gather input from other members as well.
The issue here is whether CF's name should be changed and its vision modified to reflect its current framework.
This site at the moment is at a cross-roads, and can go either way. It can either become:
1. A safe social community site with a heavy and strong Christian influence (with the vision being to offer a safe online community, and a secondary vision being to allow Christians to outreach to non-Christians) - which will allow for a name change;
OR
2. Return to a more restricted Christians-only site with a heavy emphasis on uniting mainstream Christians only with a less emphasis on outreach, in which case we keep the name.
Bear in mind that options 1 and 2 are both valid - there is a place for either forums.
I think that at this moment members are frustrated because CF is halfway between options 1 and 2, so members are confused as we have a vision that belongs to option 2 but a setup that is more like option 1.
Therefore, I think we need to make a decision.
I'm going to leave this up to the community. I've extended the above poll to 3rd of August.
I will listen to the members here, and will defer to the final decision.
Please feel free to discuss this issue in this thread.
Sorry, that was rude. The conservatives have done some whining but the liberals have as well.I've had enough with this conservative vs liberal thing--- don't bring it up here of all places. We have enough to discuss.

Anyways, stop BEING SELFISH! I and others have reconverted thanks to the changes and now you want to take them away, you don't care about other people, you only care about yourselves, grow up
It may of been rude but it's true, do you guys want to help people see the light or not? option 2 would NOT allow itThat was much less rude than you're previous post
Where have you been!!!!Hmm... so under option two, what sort of role will non-Christians play?

He's completly and utterly right....Infact I know that for myself I'd definetly leave if we went back and I doubt I'm the only one. I want to hear the reasons they don't like how it is...Because they hear ideas and beliefs from people who aren't Christians? Ummmm isn't that the real world? we aren't all Christians but I do know that this is gonna help alot more people then the other way...I know it kept me from just throwing it all awaySorry, that was rude. The conservatives have done some whining but the liberals have as well.

I converted because of Christ, but the new CF helped me get to him.I mean no disrespect to you by asking this but I have to ask it - did you convert to christianity because of CF policy or because of Christ? Christ died for us all and we all need His saving grace - other people arent our saviors who are in as much need of His salvation as we are and He is the only reason to be saved (convert to christianity) His example is the only example worthy. Not mine or anyone elses because even what one who is submitted to Him portrays is Him in them and not their own merits.
What role do they want to play? I personally don't see Option 2 hindering them playing a role---a very important one---at CF.
