Club Seeking members - Christian based
 

Well, I finally got up the courage to start 'advertising' the club I've started. It's name is CISCO which Stands for Christ Inspired Sports Car Owners. If you or someone you know is interested, here's the website:

http://reactornet.net/cisco2/

If this doesn't interest you, fine. If it does interest you, great. If you have questions, I'll try to answer them.

Look out for the lawsuit.

Where's Thom?

Ok, Victor, I give. What's the grounds for the lawsuit?

Hmmm, yes, good point. My stance on lawsuits like that has always been pretty simple. Cisco isn't liable to make a nuisance of themselves until David has developed a forum that's self-sustaining and is producing enough money to pay a decent legal team. As long as they stay below the radar, Cisco isn't liable to give a rat's petut.

Realistically, a lawsuit like that should* be dubbed as "frivolous." There's no realistic possibility that anyone's going to go to buy Cisco gear and find themselves buying network gear from David instead. I mean, if whitehouse.com can exist without hassle from the good folks at whitehouse.gov, then David ought to be reasonably safe.

I am not really a lawyer, I just impersonate one at work sometimes.

*should: ought to, but not necessarily will.

Thats a great idea.

Ive seen Christ so many times in my German sports car, Ive started using Him as a braking marker.

Lawsuit isn't even a possibility. Especially if you are non-profit.

I'm not a lawyer, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express once.

Good luck with your club. I'm not religious myself, but any positive reason to get folks together for the good of our hobby is great.

"Christ Inspired Sports Car Owners"

Yeah, I seem to remember a few bible passage when jesus said, "Screw the poor, I need my Bilsteins re-valved" and, "Can someone hold my Rolex while I put on this chain tensioner?".

Hard drive - :)

It doesn't mater what you have, but what you give and do.

Now, go easy, there, Hard Drive. Seems like there's strong biblical support for racing. I mean, James writes that we should "redeem the time, for the days are evil." That's only slightly different than what any good autocross instructor will tell you: "Get out there and redeem those last couple of seconds, 'coz those cones are evil!" Same thing, right?

And heck, Paul talks about racing all the time. You know, run the good race, and all that rot? Let me see here ... Acts 20:24, 1 Corinthians 9:24, Galatians 2:2 and 5:7, 2 Timothy 4:7, Hebrew 12:1 ... yeah, Paul was serious about racing. ;)

And about those poor? Jesus said, "The poor you will always have with you, but you will not always have me." (Matthew 26:11, taken _badly_ out of context) So don't stress about the poor, get those new Bilsteins.

Wow and I thought white males were the last group you could freely discriminate against. I bet if he was fronting for a car club for African Americans, ya'll wouldn't be saying what you are saying here.

:cool:

God speed!

Get it? God . . . . speed. . . . sports cars. . . .

HAHA. Very funny. The Fast and the Really Quite Nice?

And these sports cars....only driven to church on Sundays, I suppose?

Wow, yes, this is certainly discriminatory -- all of this talk of violence toward Christians... why, it's tantamount to a high tech lynching!

Get a grip.

Sounds like a cool idea to me.

Like the movie about ballistic missile submarines: The Slow and Mildly Disgruntled?

Equating some snide comments on the internet with the 400 years of brutal racism African Americans endured.

Astounding.

That club would have to be called "Pimp my Jesus".....

So your saying my new tee shirt reading "Powered By Faith" is a bit too ricer?

I don't think he was equating the two at all. It seems very clear to me he was pointing out that it's seemingly acceptable to many on this site to frequently ridicule Christians as a group, but not acceptable to do the same with other groups.

Hardly astounding... to me at least.

I'm more partial to" CISCO on Sunday...Come to the service, stay for the race!!";) :rolleyes:

Ooooh. I like that too.

I will admit that do rather enjoying giving Christians a bit of grief.

It just seems like when Christians organize non religious activities around their faith.......it just seems a bit off.

If your going to be a fisherman of men, you can't just hang out with other fisherman. You got to go to sea and fish.

Does that make sense?

I also don't like you guys implying that I would treat this differently if this club were exclusively for african americans. Nope. Equal opportunity offender here. So when some black lesbian jews announce BLWABABJCWP (Black Lesbians With Absolutely Big Ass Bootys Jewish Chicks With Porsches), I assure you will give them grief to.

:)

They're supposed to endure trials and tribulations in this life anyhow. The way I see it, someone has to do it. We are all doing them a favour - without us they won't get into heaven!

Count me in to the BLWABABJCWP!

Yeah, actually, it does. It's really profound, and much simpler than the method I used to try to explain it to someone just Sunday.

Christians are instructed to go out and spread the Word. If a person only hangs around other Christians then he is not glorifying God. If this club were only in a small area, then it would not serve the goal I have. My (His?) idea for this is to build confidence in others of similar belief to go out and be themselves in the world. I had noticed many (maybe most) Christians on this and similar boards remain quiet for fear of retaliation. I would like to see all Christians use this retaliation and grief as a stepping stone and as a way to show what we believe.

Thank you for pointing this out.

Good thing we have you Victor. Thanks. :confused:

We're also supposed to fellowship with other Christians.

There's a difference between fellowship and evangelizing.

There could be a lawsuit if the original owners of CISCO were Jewish. May not want there company name being tarnished with the christian faith. Im not either, so dont flame me just a thought.

Maybe you could use this on a t-shirt. :D http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1123188105.jpg

It's from an Peugeot add.

While acknowledging that it's totally irreverent, I can't help but laughing. That's awesome. :)

R.F.C.

Wasn't that pic from a Renault ad?

I saw that add somewhere. I think someone had the whole video here.
