DynaSword is a bold Christian. He does not compromise his faith or is he willing to do so. He writes reviews based on what he feels is correct and pure. I appreciate him very much.

No offense, but these reviews are painful. You guys are rating each other as Christians? How exactly does that work? Isn't that like playing God or something? Enlighten me...

It's not called "playing God". It's called encouraging, and our Bible talks about it a lot.

MissPackRat4Jesus commented 591 days ago.
Well, did that enlighten you? :-D

Reviews on drinking and spit tobacco are painful to me. Magellan, I am beginning to think you have a real problem with Christians.

MissPackRat4Jesus commented 591 days ago.
Free speech, free speech, free speech. Let people talk about their beer, ciggies, tobacco, and sex. That is their right to talk about those things, but Christians have their rights, too. Let's not trample on them.

Rating each other's Christianity is offensive to me. Sorting of like rating each other's mothers. But like MPR, I support free speech.

Magellan, I can understand how someone could feel this way but, this list is no different than rating anything. I had taken my name off your list because a certain reviewer was using the Lord's name in a blasphemous way; this had nothing to do with me as a reviewer but was allowed to continue. People also may be offended because someone criticizes them unfairly on the RIA Reviewers list. People who are republican may be offended because someone thinks they are not conservative enough. People who support TV Evangelists may be offended because someone criticizes their pastor. Atheists may be offended because someone thinks or writes in a review that they believe their stand against the belief in God is unfounded. Any list has the possibility to offend someone at anytime.

I think it is different. I'm all for rating Bible Characters and Bible Verses and Religions - I find it very educational. Even rating the quality of somebody's reviews, while subjective, makes sense to me. Same with where they stand on the political spectrum. But rating somebody's faith? It is flat out offensive. I think Randyman puts it far better than I can in his post. I see this as, at worst, playing God. At best, it's a pat on the back (as MPR says). But I think there are better ways to pat somebody on the back on this site that rating their faith.

As a final note... do you remember the creator of this list? Do you think he made this list in good intentions? I don't. I think he made it as a mockery, and you guys are playing right along.

Again I understand what you are saying. You will find that I have only rated those I know and I remain positive. I agree that no knows another person's heart or their personal relationship with God (especially via the internet). Maybe Christians are a tad bit defensive lately on RIA because you've made comments about RIA being too Faith oriented. Are we playing God? I don't think so and any believer in God would not dare to do this. The reviewer list you made has a tendency to get personal(rating the person and not their reviews) as well. Political lists can be fun and educational as long as they address issues and not the reviewer personally (so and so is a moderate and they...). Even Bible Characters lists can be judgmental and just because the person may be dead does not affirm that we know or understand their personal faith (I know this is a stretch but it makes my point). People even judge God himself. Religion lists attack at times a person's faith. The TV Evangelist attacks most of the time a persons walk with God, people are judging whether or not the person is genuine pastor. Those who may like a particular pastor/ preacher/ evangelist are often criticized for their opinion. SpecialboothvicJr. created this site and I did not know a lot about him so I can not say he did or didn't make this list in good intentions. He was always nice to me.

Oh, I did not see Randyman's comment but I'm sure it was good and appropriate. Randy is a class act!

I don't know whether anyone will see this, or not, but I think what people see in the reviewers in this list are certain qualities reflected in their comments. I didn't know much about the listmaker, or what his intentions were, but I feel this list is a good opportunity to be positive. As I said, I don't believe anyone is "playing God". Rather, it is simply harmless encouragement, which the Bible talks a lot about. Finally, if a person doesn't like a particular list, they shouldn't go to that list. There is always going to be something offensive to somebody else. Plain and simple.

I think I might have missed the point with this list then. The question I've been answering with each reviewer is "Do they believe in God?" and as they all say they do I've just been five-ing everyone... :)
