...about people of other faiths on this site:
There will be no banning of people based on their religious convictions. A person does not have to be a Christian to be welcome here. The only banning that will happen will be if theology is discussed/debated. Then it won't matter what the religion of the person being banned is - I show no favoritism.
Theoretically, if there is no religious debate then there will be no reason why a Muslim, Buddhist or an Atheist will have any more problem here than a Baptist or a Catholic.
I realize some of you find it odd that a forum dedicated to a version of the Christian scriptures disallows discussions on theology. Realize that this rule is the sole reason why this forum has had to ban only one person in the last 2 years of operation.
And Chris (a.k.a. drmlanc & byrnesey) - I allowed you to return as Byrnesey. Don't test me again. Follow the rules that everyone else abides by and you will be just fine. As for "friends and supporters", I have only a handful by design - and we all understand each other and respect our limits and our boundaries. Help us to keep it that way and everyone will be happy.
