I mean look at all the rules
1.1 No Blasphemy
You will not use the names or titles of God or Jesus (in any language) as expletives or interjections. You will not refer to God, Jesus Christ, or the Holy Spirit in a demeaning, degrading, or insulting way.
1.2 No Proselytizing for Other Religions or Faiths
You will not use any aspect of CF to promote a religion, belief, faith or doctrine other than "Christianity" as stated in the Nicene Creed. A post that merely provides information about a non-Nicene Christian belief is allowed for informational purposes only (with references provided) and without promotion. Promotion is defined as encouragement of the progress, growth, or acceptance of something including advertising and publicity. For the purposes of this rule, atheism and witchcraft/psychics are to be considered faiths.
1.3 Misrepresentation of Beliefs Prohibited
You will not misrepresent your beliefs to make posts in those areas of the site designated "Christians Only" or to use one of the "Christian" icons. You may only make posts in those sections if you agree with the contents of the Nicene Creed and the Trinitarian nature of God, with the exception of threads containing the [OPEN] tag in their titles. You may only use one of the "Christian" icons if you agree with the contents of the Nicene Creed and the Trinitarian nature of God.
1.4 Congregational Areas
You may post in any of the Congregational Forums if you agree with the contents of the Nicene Creed and the Trinitarian nature of God, but you may not argue or debate with members of particular denominations and groups in their congregational areas unless you are a member of that particular denomination or group.
1.5 The Questions By Non-Christians forum
The Questions By Non-Christians forum threads will only be answered by Christians agreeing to the Nicene Creed.

- Stating or implying that another member or group of members who have identified themselves as Christian are not Christian;
- Calling or describing other people, groups, belief-systems, or ideas as heresy or a cult (or derivatives of these words). Instead of using these emotionally charged words, please state "X is wrong because of Y" rather than using these words in polemical discussion;
