• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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

Ummm.... what is this thread for?

Please look through pages 1, 2, and three, of this area (Ethics & Morality).

See how many of my threads have been locked.

See how many threads other Christians have started that have been locked.

Now.

Ask yourself the question: "Should Christians post here?".

Are we allowed to post here? That tis the question...

Not to burst your bubble (or inflate your ego), but of the 11 threads locked on the first three pages, two were started by non-theists, two were by religionists (other than you), and the other seven were by you.

It seems more likely that you're seen as a troll, not that there is some anti-Christian bent among the moderators.

I have to call Law # 2.

LAW 2. : EVERY time a real born again Christian creates a thread, or makes a post that deals with a very right wing topic, they are instantly labeled as a POE/ TROLL! This will occur within two or three posts, or at least somewhere in the thread.

This Law will hereby and forever be known as Shield Of Faith's Law #2. Or Shields Law #2. Or SOF's Law #2.

It should be noted, shield, that your "law" (A poor attempt to imitate mine, btw) serves roughly the same purpose as your embrace of the darkest side of Christian fundamentalism -- to rationalize yourself.

Fundie + Persecution Complex = wingnuttery that often gets booted off the boards -- and rightly so.

You're missing something, shield -- the "law" only ever seems to get called when threads by you are locked. Perhaps the mods aren't so much "anti-Christian" as you are anti-coherent?

Then I invoke StarCannon's Law:

For every extremist: a dissenting opinion.
For every arrogant extremist: a dissenting opinion, and an outraged ego.

How do you explain, then, the fact that 64% of the last 11 threads that were banned were started by you, and the other four were evenly split between different individuals (with an even split between religionist/non-religionist, to boot)?

Judging by that, you must be positing here that you are the only "real born again Christian creat[ing] ... thread" in E&M. That's an exclusionary statement; you're saying, in effect, that anyone here who says that they are a Christian, but doesn't have their threads locked when they bring up a controversial topic is not a "real Christian". I'm pretty sure that it is against forum rules to question another user's faith.
