INTRODUCTION : The purpose of these forums are to edify and share in a constructive way. We want to glorify Jesus Christ in everything that we do.  Even in discussion forums such as "Christian Exploration" and "News, Society, and Politics", its purpose is to discuss in a respectful and friendly way differing points of view about the Bible and religious points of view.  It is not a platform for atheists for debating the existence of God.  Blatant Antichristian preaching or preaching of occult subjects will be considered trolling (flaming) and removed and the author either warned or banned at our discretion.

First of all, this is not an atheist board.  It is a Christian board, and it would not only be impolite but useless to preach atheism here. Its like a blind person trying to convince a sighted one that the sense of vision is not real. Atheist bashing of the Bible and God will be considered flaming and shall be deleted immediately. Yea and verily, those who persist in such antisocial and Antichristian behavior shall be banned. 

This forum is a ministry, and to go in and fuss and throw insults and use bad language and try and take over and throw down all other opposition in hatred would be out of order both in church and here.  Also bringing up inflammatory topics that are obviously against fundamental Christian beliefs and then refuse to listen to others and produce circular "arguments" is considered both impolite and useless.  People who do this are known as "trolls".  This is not allowed.  Please, feel free to disagree with any of us, but do it agreeably and be willing to discuss and not ignore all others.  All who insist on bombarding our boards with "unsound doctrine" while refusing to listen while producing circular stubborn arguments (flaming) shall be banned after being warned. 

1. Thou shalt treat others as thou wish to be treated. Thou shalt not engage in personal attacks against persons or even groups of people. You shall be warned if you do so and your post either edited or deleted. Continued abuse shall result in banning.

2. Thou shalt not use profanity of any kind. This will include all cursing and vulgarity.  Thy post shall be deleted.

3. Thou shalt not flame or troll.  Bringing up ridiculously inflammatory statements to cause a stir is unproductive and destructive.  Doing so excessively might lead us to believe that you are a "troll".  Posting flame bait is not a wise thing to do here.

Also, bringing up an intense subject and continually ignoring the responses of others as a plan of wear your enemy down will not be allowed.  If this behavior persists after warning, then the topic will be closed  and locked. by adminstrators.

4. Thou shalt not engage in advertising without permission of one of the Administrators. We do give you a place to introduce your self and post your site. The only real restriction there is you shall not link any sites that are blatantly Antichristian in nature. At best, that is rude. It shall not be allowed.  All SPAM will be deleted.

5. Thou shalt not threaten anyone, or make anyone feel threatened. Anyone who harasses anyone shall not only be banned, but reported to the proper authorities. That's unlawful folks.

6. Thou shalt not spam. We do not like spam here or there, we do not like it anywhere, we do not like any kind of spam, we do not like it Sam I am. 

7. Thou shalt respect thy neighbor even when you do not agree with them. It would be good if rules were not necessary. It would be good if this was a perfect world where people respected each other and these kinds of abuses of grace never happened, but we do not live in a perfect or even a polite world. Most who have come on here are very polite and graceful, but not all. Therefore, we have a need for rules.   Within this rule is included the idea of people in the Body of Christ NOT attacking others in the body within a different man-made denomination.

8. Thou shalt not post any pornography or immoral material. This includes pornographic pictures, video, or stories, etc. Though one would think this rule to be understood, I have seen occurrences of people disrespectful to Christianity bring such materials on Christian Forums. It shall not be allowed here.  In fact, if it is criminal in nature, you shall be reported to the proper authorities.
 

ALSO, YOU SHALL NOT PREACH HATRED IN ANY FORM ESPECIALLY UNDER THE GUISE OF RELIGION.
