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.

Creationist*, because it has nothing to do with Christianity. Or, at least, it shouldn't.
*Understand that I am using that word in the standard vernacular of this site, where it means 'someone unaccepting of evolution based on religious hangups'.

Jesus, because all the others have two vowels side by side at least once.
-crEAtIOnist (ea, io)
-christIAn (ia)
-fAIth (ai)
but no such side by side vowels in Jesus.

Although I think all the others DO have non-vowel diphthongs as well.
FaiTH has the 'th' diphthong, CreaTIonist has the ti (or maybe it's tio, I forgot if it's a 2 or 3 letter long) diphthong, and CHristian MAY have one (even though CH is usually the 'chuh' sound, in this case, the h is just silent, I'm not sure if that qualifies, they're not being pronounced as the NORMAL diphthong, but...)
So, in that case, Jesus is definitely out of place because Jesus has neither side by side vowels NOR diphthongs.

I believe only "faith" contains a diphthong, at least as I pronounce these words. Does your mouth have to change position as a vowel/vowel-combination is pronounced? If not, it's not a diphthong. If the two sounds are separable, as in "cre-at...", then it's also not a diphthong. (And no, consonants do not form diphthongs.)

You're right, diphthongs are vowel only.
I was thinking of a digraph (and yes, I had to look that up, because I was already confused on what it was)
So, Jesus contains no digraphs.
Faith has two (ai and th).
Creationist has one (ti).
Christian has one (ch being pronounced 'k' here is still different from a c sound followed by an h sound, so I think it still counts).
That in addition to Jesus not having adjacent vowels.
Thank you for the correction, sfs! I fixed an error in my understanding AND learned something today.

Actually no, since a diphthong has to all be in the same syllable, and science is a two syllable word...
