Thanks, Gargy. Like Bath, I found a lot of posts were putting me on the defensive (not yours!), and I woke up with my cranky pants on this morning... I found it really upsetting that I felt I needed to justify and explain my beliefs in a Christian area of the forum. Not so cranky now, but I did find some posts were making me feel that's the way I was being seen.
TheBear, I've never found any claims in the Bible about a flat earth - do you have references for those? Also, I've always been under the impression that the vast majority of churches believed the same way mine does - that the Bible is the word of God and is literal truth... I've never thought of the Baptist church as anything other than mainstream.
This thread has been created to split off-topic discussion from a thread in the Christianity forum. I have moved the discussion out of the Christianity forum out of respect to those of Christian faith who may find the assertions made in some of these posts to be offensive.
Might I also take the opportunity to point out that the moderators of this forum take very seriously the importance of respect for others' religions and beliefs. Please be mindful of this when posting, and especially with regards to WHERE you're posting.
The issue that the Moderating team had is that you were actively trying to disprove that creation was a valid thing, something that we wont tolerate in any forum. We wouldn't tolerate someone posting in the Breastfeeding forums to go and use formula, nor would we tolerate someone going in to the Formula feeding forum to tell everyone to breastfeed. This is no different. The Christianity forum was not a suitable area for your posts, so they were moved here. If there are any further issues from this, please contact a Moderator directly. Thank you.
