However, it's clear that there is a bias against non-conventional/mainstream Christians and non-Christians such that the justifications for such bannings are often flimsy. Christians one would expect to be banned from a forum for their conduct often are not (dittomonkey, carico) and others who are also moderators are not often kept in check with their vitriolic comments. However one need not look any further than folks like seebs and Annabel having significant (and pretty much unwarranted) action taken against them. Of Christians banned from CF, it's usually not because of justifiably bad behavior from what I've seen, and the same often goes for non-Christians.

This really isn't about any sort of persecution complex. It's simply a fact that a bias exists there and there's no sense in pretending like there isn't one.

yeah well they just let a guy who was a mod and hacked into my account on another site to use what was said on the other site against the members on CF..... yeah they let him back on as a mod. So no....no bias at all *rolls eyes*

Add Dave Matthews to that list as well.

Carico provides the perfect whipping post for atheists to vent their dislike. There are times I have truly thought she was an atheist posing as a christian in order to make Christianity look bad.

Yeah, I was lurking when he was posting, and I delurked shortly afterwards. I don't think I ever posted in an Eternal post.

But he was.... just great. Bull evolution was my favorite, I think.
