Argue Position, Not Person
Rule #10: Always treat other members with respect. Argue the position, not the person. Avoid abusive, harassing and invasive behavior. Avoid needling, hectoring and goading tactics.
Dr. Sing,
This is not a chat page, please keep your posts related to the topic. If you dislike arguing with a specific participant, then just don't respond. Attack the position presented, not the person.
To Participants: This is Faith and Belief, so please maintain respect when discussing the belief systems of others. Argue the position, not the person.
Please direct any comments concerning this Administrative msg to the Report discussion problems here: No.2 thread.
Any response in this thread will receive a 24 hour suspension.
Thank you Purple

Usually, in a well-conducted debate, speakers are either emotionally uncommitted or can preserve sufficient detachment to maintain a coolly academic approach.-- Encylopedia Brittanica, on debate

Topic Please
To all Participants:
This is a Faith and Belief thread, not a science thread. Participants are not required to provide scientific evidence for their beliefs.
Also if we look back at the opening post, we see that the originator was looking for questions to use in a discussion group.
This thread wasn't so much about Christians having to answer the questions although discussions have popped up on various issues.
Please be respectful of participants belief systems and understand that scientific proof is not required in this forum; so please don't demand it.
Please direct any comments concerning this Administrative msg to the Report discussion problems here: No.2 thread.
Any response in this thread will receive a 24 hour suspension.
Thank you Purple

Descriptive Subtitles Please
Participants,
Subtitles hint at the discussion in progress. It is disappointing to see an interesting subtitle and then find the post has nothing to do with the subtitle. The discussion has moved past the subtitle.
Please update the subtitle to agree with the post.
Thanks
AdminPD

Time to Close
This thread seems to have run its course. The discussion doesn't seem to be following the spirit of the OP and is getting a bit personal.
I feel that some issues probably need to start a more focused thread.
If anyone feels this thread should be reopened for more on target discussion minus the personal issues, please make your case for reopening in the Thread Reopen Requests 2 thread.
Thanks
AdminPD
