I would like to petition that we vote regarding renaming the forum, "Let's solve the Problem of Evil" to "Let's confront the Reality of Evil".
Please feel free to cast your vote on this matter in this link and we will see whether things change or not...

That really bugs you doesn't it?
Actually, "Let's confront the Reality of Evil" is a pretty good title!

Just let it out. In addition to voting, let out whatever it is in your mind about the Christus Victor Ministries Board...

| Posted 5/10/2003 2:26 PM (GMT -6) | | DLW: Is Christus Victor Ministries a Democracy?
I’m pretty sure it’s an Oligarchy.
But since the future is partly open, it is possible, even if it is highly improbably, that they “might” allow elections. Were that to happen it would most likely be an answer to earnest prayers, which speak God’s will into reality. Therefore the first vote would most likely be about providing missionaries decent computers and Internet hookups, so they quit bellyaching about not being able to do research!!! 
I don’t think the title should be changed to Confronting the Reality of Evil because as John said,
quote:
John Earp, on the Not Bad Reasoning…thread wrote: “Evil is not a created "thing," it is a wrong moral choice. It is the abuse of free will (or personhood).”
“God did not create moral evil, Satan perverted the good by his own rebellious moral choice against God. Even still, we must keep in mind that evil is not a "thing" like a rock or a tree or a person, it is simply and only the corruption of the good and right.”
I think “Let’s solve the problem of evil” is one of the best titles. How about we change, “Questions about Christianity” to Questions about Brandon’s sexuality?

| Posted 5/11/2003 3:08 PM (GMT -6) | | I'm wondering if there should be a vote to determine if it's bad manners to beg for a research CD in an un-related thread? 
Couldn't help myself Tom.
Maybe we could all chip in and buy Tom a new Dell Inspiron 600m notebook and then buy him fast internet? Hey POW, would you be up for giving Tom some dollars?

| Posted 5/17/2003 5:44 AM (GMT -6) | | This board is not a democracy. It is 99% semi-benevolent anarchy and 1% reluctant dictatorship. Or something like that. I don't know, I'm not a political theorist. All I know is that it makes me grouchy when I have to get involved. This is your show folks. Shine.
I know there are times when the conversation gets strained and even hurtful. I will do what I can to help in those cases. But the vast majority of you are to be commended for your thoughtful and caring contributions. We have a good thing going here. Thanks to you.

| Posted 5/17/2003 6:06 AM (GMT -6) | | Um, yeah sure but I still think the organization of the discussion board needs to be re-vamped big time!!!!!!
We don't need to solve the problem of evil! And, that certainly doesn't fit the tenure of the types of issues we do deal with in the forum.

Seven days later and I'm just noticing this...
Somebody got questions about MY sexuality? You got problems 'bout dat?? Hmmmm???  For the record, I'm a happily single heterosexual who believes the rest of the world should be like me. Oh, I see, you mean my VIEWS on sexuality!!! (rolling eyes and slapping forehead)

| Posted 5/17/2003 8:49 AM (GMT -6) | | I never really voted. I vote to leave the title as it is. If somebody wants to they can preface every post with a disclaimer.
I want to be ruled by a dictatorship!
As honorman said, "aliaphora, aliaphora, aliaphora"!
