Welcome to the IIDB/Christian Forums thread on IIDB.

As many of you are already aware, this thread has developed what some might call "a life of it's own" here, and has been continuing for quite some time. This most recent version of the thread was split from here.

As some of your may be aware, There are are other forums here at IIDB. We have a lot of interesting conversations around here, and you might think about joining in. Unlike CF, theists are not restricted in where they may post, although please note that the secular community forums restrict certain kinds of content.

Quickly, let's review the most pertinent rules to this thread:

1. The rules here at IIDB prohibit insulting, flaming or attacking IIDB members. For a list of people that are registered both here and at Christian Forums, please see the members list at:

http://www.iidb.org/vbb/showthread.php?t=149006

If you are not on the list and would like to be, or would like to update or correct your information please PM Spherical Time directly. Only people that the moderators of IIDB are aware are members are protected under this policy, but self-banned members at IIDB are still protected here, as per administrator ruling.

2. PMs (Private Messages) may be posted only with the permission of the sender. This includes messages posted to private and staff forums, such as the Staff Appeals forum at CF, and messages sent in an official capacity. While it would be churlish for a staff member of any site to refuse such permission under most circumstances, if they do, we expect that to be respected.

The previous threads bear many different names, and can be found through the following links:
IIDB/Christian Forums Thread Continuation LII (The Good Ship Infidel)
IIDB/Christian Forums Thread Continuation LI (Elvis Is My Maid of Honor)
IIDB/Christian Forums Thread Continumation L ( Ø )
IIDB/Christian Forums Thread Continuation XLIX (Dig the New Breed)
IIDB/Christian Forums Thread Continual XLVIII (Radio Free Elsewhere)

The Master List of past CF/IIDB Threads may be found here.

Special thanks to Shannon for creating the old users list, and thanks to everyone here for respecting the other people that post here, and keeping this little community thread going.

A few resources for CF threads are being collected here.

Hi BigToe.

*waves*

No, I haven't. Are you talking about the character John Coffy? I don't know the actor's real name. But he's the big guy, who sucks death out of people. And gets visions of the evil others have done.

seebs, how is your kitty?

I hope he/she's better now. :angel:

Max, you sure have stirred up some interesting reading on this...erm...that thread the last couple of days. I've also had fun doing research on several of the terms that have been bandied about.

I try not to get too worked up about Christian theology(s), since it's not my back yard. But, I find it interesting that I still feel a little territorial about the version of Christianity I was taught and subscribed to for many years. I'm comfortable with contradictions to those parts that I couldn't quite swallow then, and I'm uncomfortable with contradictions to those parts that I believed with a whole and untroubled heart. I keep relearning this, again and again.

You can take the Pagan out of the Bible Belt, but it's quite a job taking every last little bit of the Bible Belt out of the Pagan.

Thanks to everyone who was encouraging about my sick toddler and husband. Apparently the toddler has recovered and is quite "chipper" but her dad is still feeling rotten. The bigger they are the harder they fall.

Also it seems my brother and two of my sisters in law (thre pregnant ones as it happens) are sick. Yay, Thanksgiving *sigh*

I'm glad the baby is better, and here's hoping hubby gets better soon.

I've had something, I thought it was food poisoning. But I talked to my bro tonight, and he's been sick too. Severe cramps & the runs. Body aches & overall feeling like crap.

I think there's something nasty making the rounds that said "Aha! Thanksgiving travel. I can be a stomach virus that GOES PLACES!"

Last I heard, he's doing fine; I'm out of the house right now. But he's been improving noticably, and medicating okay.
