So, theophiles.org needs a tagline/slogan.

Sort of like christdot's "Christ. Period."

Let's gather some ideas and then have a vote!

Post 'em here if you've got 'em...

metallurge  - Starter ideas   |2008-04-09 10:17:14
These have already been proposed elsewhere...

Edifying News and Discussion. Period.

What do you prefer? Shall I come to you with a whip, or in love and with a gentle spirit?
Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.
Do everything in love.
If anyone does not love the Lord—a curse be on him
The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.
serve one another in love.
love covers over a multitude of sins.
Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.
God is love.
since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
We love because he first loved us.

an oasis of edification in the wasteland of the internet.

I'm partial to:
"Love of God. Love of neighbor. Love of news."
JudahGabriel  - ditto   |2008-04-09 11:30:14
My vote as well.

Yah. I'm partial to this one also.

that's nice, i like this one.
Entity  - A few more   |2008-04-09 13:17:04
I never knew how to worship until I knew how to love.
Henry Ward Beecher

Love is like pi -- natural, irrational, and very important.
Lisa Hoffman

If you judge people, you have no time to love them.
Mother Teresa

The good life is inspired by love and guided by knowledge.
Bertrand Russell

I love humanity but I hate people.
Edna St. Vincent Millay

We need not think alike to love alike.
Francis David

Love must be as much a light as it is a flame.
Henry David Thoreau

A religious awakening which does not awaken the sleeper to love has roused him in vain.
The Quaker Reader - Jessamyn West

Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into friend.
Martin Luther King, Jr.

...spread your love everywhere you go.
Mother Teresa

Religion is to do right. It is to love, it is to serve, it is to think, it is to be humble.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Where there is great love, there are always miracles.
Willa Cather

Love all, trust a few.
William Shakespeare
wezlo   |2008-04-09 13:05:59
Yah, these are great quotes - but not sure they fit as a tag-line. Love the Francis David quote though...
metallurge  - Yep   |2008-04-09 13:10:20
That one stood out to me also.

And I agree, the requirements for a good tagline would probably exclude most of Entity's list. But I like the list as inspiration. Thanks for posting it, Entity!
Entity   |2008-04-09 13:16:41
That was actually my favorite as well. I didn't want to bias it by putting it first.

Unfortunately, the quote is by a Unitarian Universalist and Non-Trinitarian.
WebbedFeetOfClay  - ha!   |2008-04-09 15:48:41
A.D.I.D.A.&Theta

(though I'm really a fan of Love of God, Love of Neighbour, Love of News)
Entity   |2008-04-09 15:54:47
OK.

AD = Anno Domini
ID = Intelligent Design

What does AΘ stand for?
WebbedFeetOfClay   |2008-04-09 16:27:08
It's a play on A.D.I.D.A.S. which according to legend, stands for All day I dream about sex., but I've replaced the S with a &Theta so it's God (or Theophiles.org, or ADIDAS said with a lisp)
John  - A.D.I.D.A.S.   |2008-04-09 16:40:35
Also a Korn song...
PerpetualAgnostic  - Not sure   |2008-04-10 09:24:45
I say to you that you must *hate* the news.
Entity   |2008-04-10 09:28:24
No, just the media. They are the devil's spawn!

:-)
Jim   |2008-04-09 16:52:21
That's what I was thinking!
metallurge   |2008-04-09 17:15:56
Jim, where was this comment supposed to go?
Jim   |2008-04-09 22:52:41
earlier it was under John's comment. I don't know when it moved....

Love will tear us apart.
-- Ian Curtis

i can't understand why "Assimilate or burn" isn't getting any traction...
PerpetualAgnostic  - Can't.   |2008-04-09 21:27:17
Already trademarked by Microsoft.
wezlo   |2008-04-10 11:55:47
ROFL
PerpetualAgnostic  - site name sez it all...   |2008-04-09 20:24:49
"Theta. Phi."
wezlo   |2008-04-09 20:50:10
Oh man, we'd spend every day explaining it.
SasyMomaCat  - Proverbs 9:10?   |2008-04-09 21:17:46
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom,And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. (NASB)

or maybe just "In search of wisdom."
OrionBlastar  - How about these?   |2008-04-10 01:04:54
Theology, period.

"He loves you" (Ok maybe Marvel uses that for its Secret Invasion comic book and it is a play on John 3:16)

Theology Porn. (Not of naked people, but the best kind of porn that is not of naked human bodies but based on theology)

Theology Lovers.

Theology that even a non-Thesis can love.

Religion, period.

Praise the lord, pass the ammo, pay the lady. (I always wondered what PTL really stood for?)

What would Jesus blog? (WWJB)
patronpeter  - WWJB...   |2008-04-10 16:48:22
that's funny
HenryJBemis   |2008-04-10 13:50:25
"Talk amongst yourselves."
HenryJBemis   |2008-04-10 13:55:50
Oh, or "Christian perspectives in a disparate world." (or diverse).
patronpeter  - or...   |2008-04-10 16:46:07
theophiles: another notch in googles belt theophiles: where xtians with too much time go to gossip theophiles: love thy cyber-neighbor theophiles: a great place to grow (slogan for the town of Sparta...)

"where xtians with too much time go to gossip"

LOL!

thank you thank you i'm here till wednesday, try the veal!
Karolyne  - Keep it simple   |2008-04-10 18:03:22
theophile- means- person loving, or loved by, God.

So if you keep it simple

thophiles- people loving and loved by God.
wezlo   |2008-04-10 18:15:20
Not bad.
patronpeter  - hey   |2008-04-10 18:20:12
that's kinda nice. :-)
PineHall  - Simple is Best   |2008-04-19 16:33:38
This has my vote.
theophiles- people loving and loved by God

Theophiles. We're smitten.

Theophiles. Where ignorance and superstition come to party on the web.

Theophilz. In your face God-talk that's straight from the heart.

Isn't that what Captain Ahab said to Moby Dick and Khan also repeated the quote to Captain Kirk?

It seems to be quite a stretch from

Quote:

Which sounds like what Dolly Parton once said in a song: http://www.stlyrics.com/songs/d/dollyparton1225...
Straight from the heart.

Unless you were joking, in which case it is funny in a way.
metallurge   |2008-04-10 21:52:33

metallurge   |2008-04-10 22:13:11
Eek! Sorry. I missed that potential implication. No, that's not what I meant at all!

That "character problem/empty comment" line was the system complaining, not me.

Theophiles, because doubt loves company.

Theophiles: Where doubt springs eternal.

Theophiles: Where heresies come to die.

Theophiles: Where orthodoxy fears to tread.

or was it Captain Kangaroo and Dancing Bear?

captain kangaroo? from BigDaddy? must google... from wiki;
Quote:
Captain Kangaroo was a children's television series which aired weekday mornings on the American television network CBS from 1955 until 1984.
no wonder i didn't recognize it... i wasn't born till 1987... lol.
laika   |2008-04-10 22:01:19
man, i hate it when my pop cultural references expose me for the ancient that i am :-(

it's o.k., we'll pretend you saw it on nick at night or something...
NotSyncing   |2008-04-10 23:51:17
Captain Kangaroo... Mr. Green Jeans. Classic.

Of course, I was but a wee boy. But I remember.
grizzly   |2008-04-11 00:22:26
Do you remember these Statler Brothers lyrics?

Counting flowers on the wall
That don't bother me at all
Playing solitaire till dawn with a deck of fifty-one
Smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo
Now don't tell me I've nothing to do
grizzly   |2008-04-11 00:32:17
of course, today's youth may be more likely to recognize these:

we don't know what he did
but we're down with captain kidd
we don't wake up before lunch
but we all eat captain crunch
we don't smoke, we don't chew
we watch captain kangaroo

:)
Entity   |2008-04-11 09:33:35
I have that one on my jukebox. Eric Heatherly covered it in 2000 and more people may be familiar with that version.
grizzly   |2008-04-11 18:23:19
Yeah, I know that Eric Heatherly covered it. I've got a CD Single of it. Still, it's a cool song.

hmmm... on reflection, does it sound a little presumptuous?

I was just brainstorming. I leave judgment to others.

Could be, though. But is it presumptuous to be intentional? We are intentional about something, aren't we? I see both sides. Who knows, like I said, I was just throwing it on the pile.
