I've demoted myself to "Lurker" status, but I had to laugh my fanny off at this one.
The first step in any recovery program is for one to admit that one has a problem.

Re: How would you define AFF?
I would define AFF as a place where people can come and gripe and complain about everybody and everything,that we think is wrong with religion and politics. Nobody's apostolic or right, except me of course. And as long as we don't get personal it's okay.

MOW, Thanks for the kind words, but I think that the preceding posts prove my fears...

Why was the part about admins playing favoritism left out?

For example, Martin Luther believed the book of James did not belong in the Bible due to its take on works. Nor has the thicket of relations between faith and works been settled today, for example, among AFF brethren. Of course, everyone here can probably explain what makes personal sense, using lotsa, lotsa Bible.

I don't feel that they are playing favorites at all, in fact there have been several on this post with differing opinions.

Re: How would you define AFF?
A place where you can send people to hell, for anything you want if you are the pastor. Beards, sleeve length, anything. I am going to open a church and preach against any hat that isn't a 49er hat. You better not wear anything other than that on your head or you will go to hell and God will back me up on it because I am the boss.

But the Chargers have the lightening bolt- wouldn't that be a holy symbol? Or the Saints? How can you scripturally back up your support of the Forty-Niners?
