[Faith-talk] word of testamony

[Brandon A. Olivares]

Andrew,

No, this is not a Christian list. It is a list for people of all faiths. I doubt just a Christian list could be created, because then there would need to be a list for every faith. It’s better if everyone can just learn to respect each other here.

It’s fine if you share your own faith. What isn’t fine is when you call others names, tell them they are wrong, or otherwise disrespect them just because they are not Christian. Obviously we all have different views, but we can respect others who believe differently than we do.

Peace,
Brandon
