Let me clear up something. This "group" will never limit who can and who can't be in the group. Say we start a website, or forums, we will say, "Anyone that wants to be a part of this can. Just please respect our God and each other." We're not out to segregate FIRST. Not in the least bit. That's what I love about FIRST, is that no matter where you go, if you find someone from FIRST, you always feel comfortable, and are able to talk to them. That's how Dylan and I started, before we knew each other were Christians, we talked for about 45 minutes to an hour about FIRST. We just want to take that one step further. We want Christian's to be able to meet up with one another (I'm not saying that when we meet, it's gonna be this huge blob that travels around together. It might be like that sometimes, but we are at Regionals, and Nationals to support our team. Dylan and I are both on Drive Teams, so our time is really limited)where they won't hear the profanities and all the other stuff that we normally hear. As I recall, there was a thread about profanities at Nationals. You can go to that thread
here.
So the summary of this post is to say that this group is not going to pressure any others or make people feel left out if they don't join.

Again, we aren't going to limit who joins. This would be open to all people. If you were to join, we would just ask that you respect our God, our beliefs as well as others in the group.
Thank you for the continued feed back! It is greatly appreciated!
