Des,
I hope you take this restriction in the manner in which it is meant.
You are not coming across very well on this forum and this is meant solely as a way to help you benefit from your time here. I don't believe this is the way you truly want to witness for your faith when even the Christian and creationist camp are not backing you.
What I am going to suggest to you is that for now, you limit your postings to
A Little Rant for Desdamona in the FFA
Big Bang Problem in Big Bang and Cosmology
A Fatal Logical Flaw in Creationism in ID
You currently aren't in any active F&B threads, though I wouldn't be against giving you one outlet there also.
This is subject to change according to your acceptance of forum etiquette and Forum Guidelines.
1. Des must show that she is capable of following a topic of conversation. I realize that we are all guilty of going off topic on occasion, and I have no problem with that, but Des has a heavy history of not being able to follow the topic. She hasn't been here long enough to have accumulated such a history except by design. I ask all participants to help by not responding to off topic posts.
2. Des must totally understand the concept of citing sources and supporting claims. She needs to learn what a primary source is, what hearsay means and the difference between a claim and a belief.
3. Des needs to learn to write in a manner that does not leave her opponents shuddering when they think that she is home-school teacher.
Sylas's excellent post Style Guide for EvC should be one of the first pinned topics when that option becomes available to us.
Believe me when I tell you that no one here wants to make you leave your faith. No one here is even that concerned that you accept evolution. One of the main purposes of this forum is to instruct others on what evolution is, what science is and how it is done.
We don't ask that you accept evolution, but that you at least understand it. Most people here find it totally incomprehensible that someone can be so totally against a concept that they have absolutely no understanding of.
Most of this post is copied from an reply I made here:
http://EvC Forum: A little rant for desdamona
Any suggestions, complaints or questions can be addressed to me here.
edited to add: Des I would appreciate a note to let me know you have read and understand this post. thanks

Re: Thanks
I have no problem at all with you staying and continuing to post here. Don't feel rejected if others post in disagreement to this. This is a debate board, we'll argue anything
I guess that over and above the style issues, I really want to get across that understanding what science says and what the Theory of Evolution says does not mean you have to believe it. There is just no way that anyone can have a legimate, informed opinion on something that they know nothing about.

It would seem that once again I have been burnt for giving someone the benefit of the doubt and attempting to work with them and keep them on the forum.
I am not suspending Des at this moment, as I feel she should have an opportunity to answer to everyone. This is the last time though. The next offence will be automatic suspension without any more warning.
Comments on my actions can be made here.
Mini-Rants towards Des can be made here at Sylas's tbread.
My comment to Des:
Des, we here at EvCforum.net have bent over backwards to help you. I have ignored members that I have great respect for that saw the hypocrisy and wanted you suspended.
With one breath you speak understanding and a search for knowledge, with the other breath you spout venom and hated of those not like you.
Mark24 was well within his rights to call you on behavior that anyone with a modicum of ethics would have been ashamed to display. Your answer wasn't to support or retract your statements, it was to display even more boorish, ugly, and childish behavior.
This is your very last chance here Des. I suggest you make the most of it because I am going to take some heat for it.

Re: Proposal for Handling Desdamona - Agreement
I agree with your proposal. Though I do think she should be able to answer to this thread also.
