Cambert: If you read the posts again, here and in the Poser forum you will see several people that definately do not want any sort of christian forum here at all..they don't say no to religious forums mind you, just no to christian ones. Those are the posts Im refering to.. Sure, anyone can post their opinions about their beliefs in OT, but if it has anything to do with christianity, you can bet your bottom dollar that it will get flamed. No other topic on this site gets such hateful comments towards the posters as this one does.. I would at least like a place here, mind you..I shouldn't be told to 'go somewhere else where I can post my opinions about my beliefs without worrying about who is not going to agree with it. There could be rules set in place for trolls, and others who would come into the forum just to flame..just as there are other rules around here.. The reason that nobody is asking for forums for their own images galleries, is the very fact that they can talk about it freely without these worries anywhere they choose.. I dont put others down about what they believe, even if I dont believe as they do, and feel that I should not be subjected to flames from others because they dont like what I believe in. I find myself having to defend my religious beliefs however, all the time, when this topic comes up..and in turn get flamed for that too. Several threads have mockeries in them, or blasphemies not today, but in the archives that shouldn't have been allowed..and I feel that it could have been prevented if there were just a place to post these topics, with specific rules about flaming ones beliefs..mainly christian beliefs..as this is the one that gets people riled the most. I think Claymore stated it pretty good up above: At the moment, the group happens to have a bilical focus. I'd be willing to wager that if a group of Hindu's were first to ask there would be less flak. I still do not see what the big deal is about the christians having a place to talk about their work. If other people with different beliefs want one too, let them have it. Im not against that, so Im wondering why several people are so against a forum for those of us who want a christian forum..this thread was started by asking for a biblical ART forum..the ones who are in agreement, know why it was asked for, and the ones who are dead set against it, could care less about why it is wanted/needed...they are happy with the way things are, and dont want any changes..no matter who's freedom of expression it constricts. ~Jani
