I can almost guarantee that if I say the Christian Creed is what Christians believe, we will get a great diatribe from another poster. So what statements can you make? Seriously, what can we say when we disagree on just about [more]

Is the board Christian fools or Catholic fools?

*This* board is neither, it's the Civil Discussion Forum, and as I say, it's not for carrying on any actual religious arguments.

Hi DtB,

I think that about puts my views on what the CFB should be, so I will stop there.
