Doesn't CMV pay by the forum?

Couldn't most of the topics discussed here be discussed elsewhere since we are so non-picky about where things get discussed?

I'd say CMV should move these topics to another forum and discuss Bonhoeffer/Ethics elsewhere.

Oh would we only organize CVM in the same way as Theoweb whereby rankings are based on appreciation points people bestow upon other posters. Then, it would be the quality not quantity of posts that would determine one's label as a participant.

DLW,

How clean is your home? Let's organize a CVM organization party for DLW's house! I'll pass the sign up sheets around...

Just couldn't resist the funny thought...

I'd respond but I got this damn plank in my eye and I'm too busy trying to splinters out of the eyes of others.

I don't see any reason why the board couldn't use a good reorganization.

It might attract more viewers and especially non-Christians.

Thread title:

What is the purpose of this forum????

Seeing that, it occured to me:

"...to glorify God,
and
to enjoy Him for ever. "

I believe such a purpose does surpass this particular forum.

Cool

Niebuhr thought that sustained moral energy in politics depended on religion's power to mobilize reason along with self-transcending love. The prophetic tradition, meanwhile, gave Jews and Christians some protection against the temptation to identify their social causes with God's will. Lincoln's second inaugural address expressed the prophetic insight, "The almighty has His own purposes."

I'll chose definition three. But I'll put on it the rider that "transcend" also include "infuse."

And its not loving to point out WHC could save themselves some money for other purposes by having one less forum if it ain't be used too much?

I think no. 2 was correct.

Sarcasm? I was not saying that you weren't being loving in making frugal suggestions. I had my own reason to post.

Perhaps you are being dualistic. Or you are just not up to speed with what I'm saying: In which case it is more polite to read it only, and move on without comment. But as it stands, it just looks like you are trying to be mean spirited. Sad

Everybody. This is a cold thread. I posted what occurred to me, and judged to be edifying.

It seems to me that humankind often needs to be reminded of our purpose.

I think that, perhaps (my guess) you REALLY need some hugs!!!

Friend, and brother... Keep in mind the dull sense of alienation that can grow on one when one is "away" from what one knows. I've been a minority twice in my life. The effect is real. My guess is that the last two days have been particularly bad for you.

thanks Pow,
no students or fellow professors around and I don't have my DVD player back yet and so I do miss my DVDs, as well as having people around.
