You're saying this is wrong? Japanese kanji symbol for contradiction (Hitei)

(Pssst) Toto. Think of the MP bit where Michael Palin goes to the "Argument" office and says "I'm here for an argument" and John Cleese responds, "No you're not."

I recently added some rules and a roadmap.

Rules

1. Critique is okay, but there must be no insults, either to persons or to ideas. The tone should be academic, even witty, but not acerbic.
2. Dual point of view is maintained. If you support a particular item as error, edit only in "Pro" or "Neutral." If you oppose a particular item as error, edit only in "Con" or "Neutral." Admins, however, are trusted enough to make changes in either section without undermining actual arguments made.
3. If there is any voting, you must register a name first and declare whether you are primarily "Pro" or "Con" as an editor on your user page.
4. First violation of these rules results in a warning. Second incident results in a 24-hour ban. The third results in a 7-day ban. The fourth results in a hard ban, which can be lifted only on the agreement of all admins.

Roadmap

* September 1, 2005. At least 100 "Pro" sections will be edited.
* October 1, 2005. At least 100 "Con" sections will be edited.
* November 1, 2005. At least 50 users will sign up.
* December 1, 2005. At least 100 verse pages will be greater than 5000 bytes.
* January 1, 2006. At least 500 "Pro" sections will be edited.
* April 1, 2006. At least 500 "Con" sections will be edited.
* July 1, 2006. At least 500 verse pages will be greater than 5000 bytes.
* October 1, 2006. At least 100,000 page views will be reached.
* January 1, 2007. At least 10,000 verse pages will be edited.

best wishes,
Peter Kirby

Could you place this as a sticky in BC&H to remind us of its existence.

Peter Kirby · 08-16-2005, 05:59 AM

I can't. Toto might.

I have added three features to the homepage.

The "Featured Pro Piece", for items that I consider thorny. You may disagree.

The "Featured Con Piece", for the opposite. There's only one con entry in the whole site right now, so this was chosen by default for the first featured one.

The "Featured Smackdown". This is fun. All errancywiki users are encouraged to go to the Smackdown and put in their opinions and arguments. This is a way of soliciting feedback, such as to balance out these articles.

Enjoy yourself. Post your favorite, or least favorite, bits of the Bible today!

best wishes,
Peter Kirby

PS-- My "Kirbybot" is almost done creating stubs for all the verse pages.

Just something to keep in mind...

Whenever I am discussing errors in the Bible with Christians, I always get directed to this site: www.tektonics.org (under the apologetics encyclopedia section).

It would be nice if the issues brought up refuted the defenses brought up by tektonics.org
