• 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

So, how about those Yankees?

This is not the place to discuss the merits or lack thereof of the Creationist viewpoint. Discussions of those viewpoints should be kept in the main Origins Theology forum

We can't discuss evolution/genetics or the merits of creatioism.

How about baseball? The Yankees broke .500.

How about "Buddy Jesus" in Dogma? Pretty hunky dude.

Of course you can, so long as you are arguing for creation and against evolution.

That was what the OP was about. Maybe I missed the implication of the moderator -- ie, that TEs need to stop making nonfellowship posts on "creationism." The thread was also closed, apparently for that reason, though conversation was rolling, with a couple of bumps. Maybe the OP was too "judgmental" by some measures, but that wasn't the reason for closing it.

That was perhaps the worst mod call I have ever witnessed. I think we have WAY too many mods of this forum, who sometimes make unnecessary calls.

Here hoping they open the thread back up again.

Presumably it's a wording thing - she probably meant that it's not the right place to "put down" Creationism. As far as I can see it was this statement that led to a lock:

As to division of the body, IMO it is the creationists that are the problem. Their insistance of a 6000 year old earth has caused division and ridicule of the Church.

We don't see other threads discussing the merits or not of Creationism being locked either.

Peace and patience, brother. These are hard times for us all.
