Hi I started this forum because I want to use this site for civil discussion on important topics.
The purpose for the forum is to:
To help one another do research and find answers to tough questions, even if that "answer" is a "maybe..." or "perhaps..."
To provide helpful criticism to one another’s research, logic, or argumentation
To build community with those who want help from others in providing answers to tough questions about faith and the Bible
To provide a safe space to discuss tough issues.
The Rules include:
Willingness to listen and show respect even when there is disagreement. Rudeness, insults, aggressiveness, or demeaning comments towards others on the forum will not be tolerated and will be removed.
In fact anyone who is hostile on the forum will be banned (banning process listed below). All opinions are welcome as long as communicated in a mature, non-hostile manner.
All posts will be monitored and any harmful/hostile post will be taken down by forum administrators.
The process of banning includes:
1-time rule-breaking direct message and discussion
2-times rule-breaking time out for 72 hours
3-times rule-breaking will result in banning from the site
For bigotry or hate speech there is immediate banning.
