The reason I ask is because there is blasphemy in the Religion and Politics & Other Controversies forums, lewd talk in the Relationships Forum, and perhaps other sinful content that the moderators do not filter as a matter of policy.

Do we participate in the sins of the posters and administrators by merely being on here and encouraging the forums' existence?
Well if it is a sin, I am a really big sinner, as I am on C-D at least a couple hours everyday. If it is a sin, God forgive me, I can't help myself...

Are you joking or just that brainwashed? If this is the case lock yourself in the your room and toss away the key because according to you religious folks there is sin everywhere.

I have a strict policy regarding CD. I never discuss anything here that I wouldn't discuss with my kids.

Then again, i'm very open and honest with my kids, their friends too.

It takes a village ya know!

OP, are you an adult? I ask because adults usually don't use the term "sin."

You must understand that while calling God insulting names and making cynical sarcastic remarks about him or Jesus, is a sin in your mind and consciousness, certain hardcore unbelievers do not have that consciousness which you have. There are things that you willnot dare to do, but to them its not even a dare, its nothing! And you must understand that God understands this, is even using this in his unstoppable will.

Nothing; no human behavior is being unused; all things are in the active radar of Gods ongoing purpose; both belief and unbelief are " Needed now";

and absolutely nothing can stop this incredible display of light and darkness intermingling. It is not a sin to post here at CD. To him who knows not to blaspheme- to him ONLY is it a sin to do it. To him who knows to do good, and does not do it, to him only is it a sin.

Didn't think of it like that. I don't think so.

The reason being most people in today's culture get their information from browsing the internet. While their is much junk on the internet, it is also a channel for preaching the Word, reaching the Lost, connecting with others, etc.

If Christians weren't on the boards defending the faith there would be nonChrisitians on the Christian, Religious, and Politic Forums leading people away from the truth.

People looking for answers can see both sides of the story and come to a conclusion for themselves.

I do think turning of the propaganda TV outlet is a huge step forward however. If the people stopped playing the game as they've been spoon fed to think in a particular paradigm, the whole nation would take a million steps forward. But that most likely isn't going to happen.
