Vision, tagline, SoF, and revised promotion rule (last post has link to Wiki)

Actually when christians had areas to discuss christian issues without being browbeaten to death on a christian board and made to constantly defend those beliefs (which they shouldnt have to except in debate areas) the membership was much much higher - most of the board has left since the 777 changes and the giving over the place to the world. Thats a fact.

Isn't the entire point of this forum to debate and discuss issues? If some Christians can't handle opinions other than their own, perhaps they should leave.

and when you all came here years ago - there were areas for JUST CHRISTIANS - i rest my case

And I always saw the CO sections as a problem. That rule led to all kinds of further rules about who was a True Christian (TM) and therefore had the right to post their thoughts, and who wasn't.

It was impossible to police, and efforts to police it became ugly.

Hospitality is a Christian virtue and a Christian ministry. It is really the only Christian ministry a discussion forum as a whole can engage in. What is great about hospitality is that it makes room for all kinds of other ministries, without having to control them or interfere in them.

How about we just practice Christian hospitality without asking, "Who is my neighbor?"

Since you have rested, I take it you will cease posting in thread on the issue.

That's what the term means.

Okay so let me get this straight, Angel4Truth. You are angry that other non- Christians are posting in the Christian area of the site so you choose to nit pick over my username. Even though I NEVER go over to the Christian area of the site except to read whats going on, I never post. I have posted one thing in that area that I can think of and it was a sentence long and not in the least disrespectful to anyone.

Nice to see the reason for the madness.

In other words Liz when you said the reason you came here was because of how nice it was - you didnt really mean it and saught to change it right from the start - is that more accurate ?
