New FB Page CAFE: For Both Sides To Duke It Out

One of my admins saw a comment on here that there was no sight dedicated to abuse awareness in the fundamentalist circles, so she started one called CAFE: Christians for Accountability in the Fundamentalist Environment. The anti fundamentalist groups have their pages where no fundamentalist is permitted their opinions, and then those who have fundamentalist websites that have a low tolerance for shallow theology and lack of critical thinking critics scare the dissenters away. So we created a boxing ring.

We do encourage stories about dealing with abuse within the fundamentalist environment, but primarily want to have a place where those who are antagonist to fundamentalism can have a chance to state their case with those who actually know the Bible and know how to defend their beliefs.

Discussion

James,

This isn’t intended as punishment or anything, but we’ve got good reason to believe quality discussion is very, very unlikely on this topic. So for now we’re closing discussion on this thread pre-emptively. Might re-open at some point, but probably not.

A big part of the problem is that there are already several other sites/facebook etc. where lots of verbiage is flying back and forth in a very unhelpful spirit. When the topic moves here it tends to bring that anything-goes toxic rhetorical approach with it.

We’re usually not able to get to substance… and most of that has been clear for some time anyway.

Views expressed are always my own and not my employer's, my church's, my family's, my neighbors', or my pets'. The house plants have authorized me to speak for them, however, and they always agree with me.
