Warbler's Christian thread.

This is a thread for me post Christian thoughts and pics and stuff like that.  I do not wish this to be a thread to debate religion.   Feel free to debate religion and Christianity and, but please do so in another thread.   Please keep anti-relgion and anti-christian  and disrespectfull stuff and mockery out of the this thread.  I thank you in advance for doing so. 

EDIT: I have created a thread specifically to debate anything posted in this thread: The Debate Anything Posted In "Warbler's Christian Thread" Thread.

That said, I will continue what I started in another thread:

So, this is, like, a bit?

Please tell me this is a shtick.

...

And then I'll tell you it needs work.

I respect your wish for a safe space Warbler.  I really do.  However, what purpose does this thread serve other than to demonstrate blind faith?  A Christian thread with no discussion is nothing more than that.

You're making it hard to defend your position here.

 I created this thread due to what had happened in the religion thread.  Someone said it was not Christian monopoly thread and he was right.   Let that thread be a thread where Christinity and religion is debated.   Let this thread be what I want it to be.  I simply wanted to celebrate Holy Week by daily posting pics.  I did not want debate surround them.   There are many threads to debate for or against Christianity and religion.   I wanted a thread where I could post Christian things without getting into debate or contraversy.   And if I wish to create a thread to demonstrate blind faith, what is wrong with that?  If you do not like this thread you do not have to post here.  Feel free to criticize it in another thread.   I urge you to consider what I said in my first post in this thread.

 I don't believe this thread's Charter and Bylaws permit me to state it outright.

Well, you are permitted to do so in any of the other appropiate threads.  Not that I'll be reading it.

I really don't think it's so much to ask to let him and any others have a thread for them to discuss their own religion.  In fact I thought about suggesting it in the religion thread but forgot to do so.  We're allowed to have threads about whatever we want, can't you belittle and mock it in... I don't know... ANY OTHER THREAD?

Why does Warbler need to defend a position.  He just wants to celebrate his religion.  Why is there any need to try to belittle him?

Thankyou Ender and Possessed.

 Because he's "celebrating" his "religion" on an unmoderated chat board, by posting a bunch of anodyne, stilted iconographic pseudo-art according to some obsessive "schedule" he cooked up for himself (probably while self-flagellating in the throes of a late-night chat-board dust-up).

If that ain't asking for a-teasin', I just don't know what is.

I agree 100%.  Post away Warbler.

 Can't you "do it" in "any possible other thread"?

Dammit, people! Don't you know how to resize pictures on this board? ;-(

@dclarkeg, ideally there will be teachings here as well, as that is any Christian's prerogative when posting here.  However, I love the art you've shared.  The last picture was commissioned by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, BTW, by the artist Harry Anderson, who was a Seventh Day Adventist but did a number of paintings for my church.

The first is also LDS, by Greg Olson, an LDS painter.  So good choice of pictures.

 I am not really sure how much teaching I will doing here.  I just wanted to have a thread to post Christian things without having to have a debate* about it.  I am not exactly sure what all I will be putting in this thread.  For now, I am doing pics of Holy Week.   perhaps I will post scripture too, we will see.   You are free to post some teachings if you want.  Keep in mind the Christian things I post here will lean toward the Protestant side of Christanity as that is the kind of church I go to.

*if people do wish to debate things I post here, there are multiple other threads to have the debate in.

You made a thread to display your crap and at the same time you forbade people to debate or give feedback. This is an internet forum, not a parking lot in front of your house where you show off your new car.

 There is a separate thread for debating religious topics, Christianity included, why can't you just be a decent human being and take your debates there?  I'm not a Christian, but you can at least respect other people's wishes.  Wanna bag on christianity? No problem, THERE'S A SEPARATE THREAD.  It's not that hard, it's not even inconvenient.  A couple clicks.
