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.

I'm assuming you are referring to one specific creed, IE the Nicene one. Remember that there are numerous creeds, confessions, and statements of faith... and they are not all the same.
The "true Christian" moniker is something I find really funny.
You've heard of the "no true scotsman" fallacy, right?
I have no need to repeat a formal statment to reinforce my beliefs. And really, how does it do that anyway? You either believe something, or don't. repeatedly SAYING you do, doesn't change, or bolster the beliefs.
otherwise.... I believe I'm a millionaire. I believe I'm a millionare. I beleive I'm a millionare..... nuts. Isn't working.

The Bible is full of creeds. A creed is simply a statement of belief. If someone says "I don't believe in creeds" they are lying to you because they just made a creed themselves.

Uphill battle... I'm in the same boat.
I would even go so far as to say Theology in general is more or less superfluous. Believing in the trinity, in God's "divine attributes", some abscure Thomist theology - while it is cool to talk about - doesn't have much bearing on real life... on the nuts and bolts and every day stuff we go through.

This is an absurd statement. I nor anyone has any need to agree with any creed to have Christ redeem them from their sins, outside of Romans 10:9-10 that is.
