  • 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.

[OPEN] Hello non-Christian lurkers!

Thanks for starting this thread Dracil. I lurk here a few times a week, usually when I'm working in the middle of the night and have some time to read and catch up. Some of the stuff I read here makes me mental, but most of it is interesting, entertaining and informative.

Thank you all, the full spectrum of Creationists from YECs to Gappers to OEC to TEs for participating in OT!

I think you would sooner be made fun of for listening to Linkin Park than Christian music anywhere out there in the real world.

"I wanna cry
Or maybe die
Pie in the sky
Stick a needle in my eye" :doh:

Ugh!

To be fair, Linkin Park has progressed a lot artistically since Hybrid Theory, and it's important to note that their music is supposed to sound non-specific. Their stated goal is to identify with basic feelings and common problems, not with anything specific. Some people feel the need for more solid metaphor and lyrical grounding than they offer up, but some like the fact that the music is both varied and versatile.

That, and their music has great rhythm.

Wow. I'm somewhat surprised to find so many members lurking in OT. I probably shouldn't be, but I am. That said, welcome. Unfortunately, I haven't figured out how to email beer. Every time I try, I have to buy a new DVD drive. I'm sure I'm getting close.

In lieu of that, here's a special Kirby dance:
