[I]t is a good witness for your confession to be a peacemaker.

Thank you! I'm so glad you took the opportunity to remind us of these things.

Thank you. Is there a place these can be pasted for future reference?

"It takes the Book of Mormon and the Doctrine and Covenants and the Pearl of Great Price to explain more fully why we would have perished. We would have perished because of the fall of Adam; we being unable to save ourselves either from his fall or our own sins."

This looks like promotion to me.

Excellent question. It seems to me that Catholics take more bashings on threads than Protestants do. Is my observation mistaken?

My observation is that Protestants debate and "bash" each other more than they do Catholics. Sometimes people cry "bashing" because they have no response to the issues raised and they want to silence the debate.

Pleased to meet you, it may not seem so some times from some posters, but what you do is appreciated. I also appreciate your candor in this post and your guidelines.

Thank you for taking the time to delineate what appears to be a common sense policy for the FR Religion section.

Always argue the issues – theology, philosophy, history, etc. – and never make it personal.

I have done so -- it is when I have asked about the catholic church condoning slavery by basically turning a blind eye to the practice in Latin America that some felt the need to flame me. My entire thread was locked when individual posters ad hominem attacks should have been pulled instead.

You can attack the author (as long as it is not a Freeper) - and the content of the article, ideology, philosophy, history, doctrine etc. But personal attacks of other Freepers are not tolerable.Some have yet to understand the above concept.

That will not happen on my watch.

First, thanks for posting rules clearly for everyone to see and to know what's expected of them.

Second, how can you be sure none of that will happen on your watch since you have said that you are not the only one that mods the RF and that each one has different methodologies?

The crevo threads are of a religious nature. Where exactly do they belong?

If posted by a "creationist" (we'll take that word very broadly), wouldn't they be necessarily religious?

If posted by an "theistic evolutionist" (same), they could be religious in nature, depending on the topic.

If posted by a "mechanistic evolutionist" (same), are they religious themselves, or only religious from the perspective of any religionist who happens to reply?

Incidentally, the old RM told us a bit about his background, beliefs, etc., so we could be sure that no favoritism was taking place. Will you do the same?

Maybe we need to transform "bash" into: Be A Shining Heart

I'll think of something.

The pulled article was posted on the news forum where I have no particular responsibility. Moreover, it was not news; it was also a provocation (the source was positiveatheism.org).

maybe they will see how well your approach works here and make these policies active in all areas.

love rules with gentleness.

I do have a life off the forum including such things as sleep, appointments, errands and trips. The other moderators defer what can be deferred but sometimes will take action on the Religion forum in my absence.

We respect each other’s decisions and personal style – but yes, there could be a few bumps on the road.

The crevo threads can be and are posted in virtually every forum. Answers in Genesis articles usually are posted to blog, science threads in news, heated threads in the backroom and religious-oriented themes here.

If a crevo thread is posted here, I will moderate it according to these guidelines.

Incidentally, the old RM told us a bit about his background, beliefs, etc., so we could be sure that no favoritism was taking place. Will you do the same?

Probably not because even a little information would "out" my regular handle. You would know me, xzins.

And there is nothing stronger than true gentleness.
