  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Because the OP has been fulfilled. This thread is divisive. There have been terrible things said to one another. None of this will EVER convince ANYONE to even take a second look at the Holy Church.

This thread is purposeless.

Quite frankly I feel that the mods here are delinquant in their duties to close this thread. I have seen much more useful and interessting and less offensive threads than this pile dung get closed becuase things got a little heated up. This thread is the devils playground and the mods need to step up and do their job by
1) closing this thread
2) giving me a warning and a wahtever else for publicly criticizing them and
3) deleting this post.

I don't remember what page I wrote this on but I had asked some information on what the Orthodox Church believes in and where I can some information. It's easy to get wrapped up in other things in this thread. I'm nondenominational for now but as a new Christian I am interested in what different congregations, particularly the Orthodox, believe. Thanks.

I'm not sure if I am really hijacking this thread, given that it's already 21 pages long.

I understand that people like to censor anything that doesn't say just what they want said, but that's not always in the best interest of all involved. Despite your assumption that anyone who reads the thread will be driven away from Orthodoxy, perhaps they will realize that even Orthodox are human and have arguments. Please stop trying to whitewash everything and pretending that isn't the case.

If the thread had been closed earlier, zhilan and I would not have had a chance to make our peace in this thread, and probably would have held our grudges. Even EricTheRed made his apology. Is that what you mean by purposeless? Personally, I'd like to see if Bushmaster and zhilan can make their peace too. But here you are trying to shut it all down, so they can't do that. :scratch:

Ladybug,

You should start a new thread and we will be happy to answer you questions. It's going to get lost here.

Hi ladybug! :wave:

The core of what we teach is pretty much summed up in the Nicene Creed. If you have any specific questions, I would be more than happy to answer them. Post them here, in a new thread, or PM me.

You were totally one of the kids in the hall at school who yelled "fight, fight, fight!" LOL ;)
