This is part of a post from a very valued member here made a while ago and I would like us all to remember what he said.....
"First, this is, always has been, and always will be, a CHRISTIAN Graphics Board. Why? Simple: the people that run it are Christians. If you can't grasp this, and respect this fact, then look for another board where you'll be more comfortable at. If you're Muslim, Jewish, Agnostic, whatever, and you don't want to deal with Christians, then look for a graphics board run by someone of your faith. If you can't find one, make one yourself.
While other religions are more than welcome here, people that come here and blatantly attack people because of what they believe, or try forcing others into believing what they believe, are not. Sadly, intolerance is still a gap between religions that few are willing to cross.
Lastly, this is NOT a Debate Forum!! With all due respect, if you want to debate the existence of God, for whatever reason(s), you should really go find a board that has dedicated forums to debating such things: this board simply doesn't have them.
This doesn't mean that you can't ask questions. Seeking answers to questions is quite different than debating something. Here's an example:
"Why do you believe in God?"
Is quite different than:
"God isn't real."
If you can't see that, then you have some growing up to do.
Aretha Franklin said it best: "R-E-S-P-E-C-T." It's all about respect, my friends. Respect the board; respect the members; and above all else, respect yourself enough to let your words represent the person you want to be known as.
God Bless!
