Welcome to Gaia! ::

1. No harsh cussing. "Watch the way you talk. Let nothing foul or dirty come out of your mouth. Say only what helps, each word a gift." (Ephesians 4:29)
Shoot, darn, dang, etc. are okay, but no real cuss words, please. You can also put the first and last letters of the words with the rest stars (s**t) if you really want to, but don't assume everyone has a filter. If this becomes a problem, I'll compile a list of words you cannot use, but I hope it won't go that far. (EDIT): This includes using the Lord's name in vain. Thanks Sasuke!

2. No bashing "Christianity".
If you have questions or doubts, feel free to ask and express, but don't say things like, "All Christians are d**ks! They should all burn in hell!"

3. No flaming. "Be agreeable, be sympathetic, be loving, be compassionate, be humble. That goes for all of you, no exceptions. No retaliation. No sharp-tongued sarcasm. Instead, bless—that's your job, to bless. You'll be a blessing and also get a blessing." (1 Peter 3:8-9)
Please be courteous and respectful. If someone is breaking one of the rules, bring it up gently. If you don't agree with someone, present your side respectfully, but don't say, "You're stupid!" or anything of the kind.

4. No debates. "Warn them before God against pious nitpicking, which chips away at the faith. It just wears everyone out." (2 Timothy 2:14)
You can casually discuss Christianity and explain to others what we believe, but don't go into heavy discussions about denominations, baptism, etc.

5. No stretching the page.
Although, on my computer the page doesn't appear stretched, other people don't appreciate it, so please don't.

6. Stupid posts are allowed.
I like it when people post, no matter what they say (with the exception of the above rules). If you just post a smiley, based on what you're feeling, it's totally okay. If you bump, all the better!


If you notice anyone breaking the rules, warn them once, and if they do it again, please PM one of the Mods.
