Hey wesie42,

I'm not here to bash your religion, I just want to say a few things... You may agree, you may disagree, but at least listen, and remember that I am Christian, too.

First off, I think it's great that you're so enthusiastic about your religion, about following Christ. However, not everyone believes in Him, and not everyone wants to. In fact, although our country was founded as "one Nation under God", the Founding Fathers sought freedom from religious oppression and thus decided to separate Church from State. It is for this reason that I ask you to please stop religious forums on Instructables.

Is it fine to have a Christians group? Yeah, of course it is. As long as you don't bother people to join, yeah, that's a great idea!

Is it alright to publish religious forum topics? No, unless you post them under a Christian-themed group. Also, be careful about what you post; our goal is to make people think good of Christians, not bad.

Alright, so how should I treat others who don't follow Christ? Be open to other religions. Try to understand their points-of-view. This is how conflicts are settled and avoided: by hearing what they other person has to say.

Is it alright to have a Christ-oriented avatar? Yes, of course! There's nothing wrong with a "Jesus Inside" avatar or an avatar of Jesus healing a blind man. I like to think of avatars as bumper stickers: if you can have a Christian bumper sticker, why can't you have a Christian avatar?

Well, I hope this helps; just remember that while not everyone is Christian, we're all still humans (and according to Christianity, that means that we're all brothers and sisters in Christ), and we all just need to respect each other's beliefs, even if we disagree.

In Christ,
Labot
