Ok, so you have a "general" knowledge of Christianity?
Do you have a personal knowledge of Christianity? If not, indeed, if no one on the panel does, then it's all futile, as I said. It just becomes a laugh-fest, at the expense of the Christians.
Originally posted by rwingettI know you're not one of the judges. But FMF is, and I must say that the atheists in this forum could probably field no better representative for their cause, which as I said above, is, in this case, suspect.
Give it a rest. I'm not one of the judges. I'm sure they'll give your entry all the attention it deserves (assuming this ever gets off the ground). And I won't be giving an "atheist" sermon. I'll be giving a Christian sermon, although I'm sure my interpretations won't jive with the likes of RJHinds.
So you plan on doing a parody? Actually, that might be amusing, especially if you somehow avoid crossing the line into offensive.

yo it's me hasn't said anything.
Deadline is when again?
edit:no other judges forthcoming at present. I was actually looking forward to judging and not waffling on for a change
Originally posted by rwingettI was hoping that perhaps someone with more experience with the written word would step up and offer their skills to the cause. I was never good at composition in school.

But then again, what am I expecting? An author? An essayist? A student of theology? AND a Christian? In THIS forum? Who am I kidding?
Originally posted by SuzianneFMF is no longer a judge. That's why I'm doing whodey's work by trying to get you to be one.

I don't even know if I'm going to compete. Id like to, but it depends on what topic the judges choose. If it's something lame then I won't enter.

While not often agreeing with FMF, his intellect was never in question for me.
Looking back, I now see he did quit long before I started my yapping in this thread. Not Reading = FTL 🙁

yo it's me might come back to this thread before too long, and maybe FMF might even be coerced back (shhhh!)(ummmm, I mean enticed back, yeah that's it) if some kind of length limit were placed on the entries.
Just saying it seems too soon to give up on it completely.
Originally posted by SuzianneWhat I was really hoping for was an open exchange of expression about what people believe without the bickering. Why focus on the judging? So what if the judges are biased. I got news for ya, if you were a judge you would have a biased side as well no matter how well you were able to hide it.

Originally posted by rwingettOne judge might actually be better than two or three. After all, if we only have one judge there will be no doubt as to the winner. The other way you could have a myriad of conflicting decisions.

As for choosing the topic, I have the utmost confidence in our judge to pick a topic that everyone would have an interet is giving a sermon about.
Originally posted by whodeyI've thought about this. You'd have three judges and they'd each choose their first, second and third place winners. Each entry gets three points for each first place vote, two points for each second place vote and one point for each third place vote. That's 18 points being distributed between the candidates.

I think you need three judges to offset suspicions of favoritism. One confirmed christian judge, not so Christian judge, and one Hindu judge (or whatever it is our only currently functioning judge is).
