"Religious Debate" could use a Christian Moderator-- Apply within!
Posted by voodooKobra • 7/22/08 • Subscribe to this Discussion [RSS] • Report This Topic
I'm not a member of the moderation team of the Religious Debate group (simply because there's already an atheist moderator; why have two?) and someone has attempted to criticize the group for not having a Christian moderator. I think it's only fair.
So if you're interested, say so here. The information they would look for is:
1. Can you maintain a cool head in the most heated discussions? If no, you aren't qualified.
2. Do you understand what "theory" and "fact" mean to science?
3. Can you maintain a reasonable level of intellectual honesty in discussions? www.johntreed.com/debate.html
4. Can you get along with the existing moderators (Morgan, an atheist, and Anok, an eclectic Pagan)?
5. Will you treat people fairly?
6. Just to add to number 1 after reading TheBigRuski's reply: Maintaining a cool head also means maintaining a serious tone.
If this sounds like you, post here.

LOL! I can't stop laughing!
"Attempted to criticize"? I AM criticizing!-
I'm pretty sure you fail on point one, and your "LOL! I can't stop laughing!" post reflects this.

Its ok voodoo, you guys can have religious debate. No need for us there.-
Are you applying for moderator status or trolling?
-
Ya, I was wondering how its going over there. Kind of like a bunch of people that all agree applie pie is good...what else can you talk about?
-
Accusations of trolling...that's what you have in store for you as a Christian entering "Religious Debate".
-
For one, we don't make irrelevant posts in discussion topics. If you are not applying for moderator status, please do not reply to this thread.
-
Neither kid.
-
If you're not applying, why are you replying? If you're not trolling, why are you replying?
-
I am hoping other Christians stay clear.
-
Why should Christians stay clear? We aren't violent or anything; just honest.

Absolutely! Extending of olive branches, suggesting private shout conversations, and even agreement on certain points are not appreciated and many times not welcome inside "Religious Debate"! -
IMO there's no need for any Christian or for a person of any other faith, who can remain within the confines of the debate model to fear joining the Religious Debate group.
-
-
BTW...shouldn't there be enough candidates inside "Religious Debate"...and therefore, this thread should be moved to "Religious Debate"?
-
There are a lot of members, but not a lot who visit daily.
-
I wonder why. Hmmm
-
-
Voodoo, I asked Madamx about an hour ago, I'm still waiting for her reply. -
To see how I feel "Religious Debate" should be conducted go to:

I don't care how you feel, Ruski; and I doubt others do, either.
-
"Nobody cares how you feel, Ruski."
Shows their mentality huh? -
Don't try to use ME to justify your remarks to a group of over 130 members. I'm an individual and represent only myself.
-
You asking for a moderator means you are representing them. Don't shuck responsibility. It makes you appear like a child.
-
BTW, voodooK...I apologized in a private shout the other night for going a bit over the top in my BC discussion with you. I'm still waiting for that shout back.
-
[You asking for a moderator means you are representing them.]
I'm not the one "asking for a moderator;" I'm just being facetious towards a comment Ruski made. I honestly don't give a damn about whether or not the group gets a new moderator.
[Don't shuck responsibility. It makes you appear like a child.]
What a load of ageist rhetoric. -

I don't see it anywhere. Was it the 21st? -
"IF YOU ARE NOT APPLYING FOR MODERATOR STATUS, DO NOT REPLY IN THIS THREAD!"
Sound like you are looking for a moderator.
I am not being agist, I am being honest.

IF YOU ARE NOT APPLYING FOR MODERATOR STATUS, DO NOT REPLY IN THIS THREAD!
This thread is for the sake of keeping all the applications in one place. If you want to criticize the group, start a new thread.-
Why are you shouting in bold caps?
-
We are here giving Christians fair warning.

Absolutely! Look how much time we've already spent taking in false accusations.

@voodoo
I would suggest that you simply choose only to respond to those who do put themselves forward as a Moderator. And, as far as those who make vexatious posts to this thread, my suggestion is ignore them.-
What fun would that be?
-
-
Better yet have this debate in the religious debate forum.-
there you go
-
This isn't a debate, this is dlowe and tbr trolling and spamming a thread.
oh well, reflects on them. -
Cooper: It isn't a debate.
-
Right on, sister! Get this crap out of here! This delusionary garbage!
-
and he wonders why he got banned.
Please, just remove this whole thread. It's been hijacked by immature spammers. -
Agreed. It would appear that offering an olive branch by posting here for a "Christian" moderator has resulted in two so-called Christian showing us all their true colours by trolling, spamming the thread, fear mongering and attempting to inflame. How shameful. WWJD?
-
@morgantj
Indeed let him continue to demonstrate the behavior that we put up with in the group before he was banned. That way everyone reading the thread can ask themselves, if they so choose:
Am I witnessing an incarnation of Christ, walking in his footsteps and carrying his cross?
BTW I come from a very large family of devoted practicing Christians, whom I love and have great respect for. They do not behave this way. -
[It would appear that offering an olive branch by posting here for a "Christian" moderator has resulted in two so-called Christian showing us all their true colours by trolling, spamming the thread, fear mongering and attempting to inflame. How shameful.]
I agree. Even if their accusations were true, wouldn't a Christian moderator change that? I think they're just butthurt because their attitudes aren't tolerated.

WARNING: Christians in discussion groups are automatically called trolls and are accused of spamming.
-
no, only you. And now EVERYBODY can see why!
-
dlowe was called the same in this very discussion.
Here is another warning: some people on this site dabble in character assasination with false accusations of trolling and spamming. -
Is that the Holy Spirit of God that is prompting TBR to type these accusations? Or is it something else like possibly, his ego? This thread is simply asking for any Christian, who would like to be a Moderator to come forward, that's all.

Ruski and everyone, stfu. You are trolling, it has nothing to do with your religion. This is a thread asking for applicants interested in the position. instead you are starting up a debate and being a thread nazi.
I'm Catholic, so don't go being like, "HOSHIZ LOOK AT HOW THEIR KIND ACT!" like you have several times in this thread. Let the man look for applicants in a peaceful way, you know...kind of like he was trying to, so that the religious threads can have fair modding.-
Thank you. Would you like to apply?
-
I would, but I run 4 websites and wouldn't have the time to do a proper job ^^;
But thank you. I will, however, keep an eye on it all. I don't like either side getting a bad name. My bf is atheist and I'm Catholic. Christmas is a hoot. We celebrate Santa christmas and Jesus christmas

Sorry but this thread has gotten way out of hand. Next time please try and show a little respect to your fellow community members.
