Hey Everyone!!
I generally like more playful titles -- things like, "Let's Get Ready to RUMMMMBLE!!!" or, "What To Do When the Thread You're Reading Turns into A World Wrestling Event and Full-Contact Sport! (Why, Bring Snacks of Course!)"
However, being sensitive to the fact that new people Googling for a Christian Forum might not realize the titles are all in jest, I have to undergo the difficult task of restraining myself. (It's a full-time job -- just ask my family.)
Here on the forum, we know we're bound to run into some "hot button" topics, twists, or turns in the threads that are going to result in the verbal equivalent of The Jerry Springer show. Some are so committed to these events, they even talk about bringing snacks!
A recent conversation in one of the threads had me thinking about exactly what kinds of snacks people are going off to get.
@ThereRoseaLamb is absolutely correct -- people often talk about bringing popcorn -- but WHAT KIND of popcorn?
And Lady @Magenta makes an excellent point -- exactly HOW SPICY are we Christians allowed to have our popcorn -- without verging on the edge of SIN?!
I hope every answers both the poll and posts in the thread so that we can find out!!
Answers will be multiple choice and visible to others. Please note, the poll system only allows about 10 answers so I try my best within the limits I'm given. Many answers won't make it, so come back and tell us WHY you chose what you did, or tell us about the snack YOU would choose that isn't on the list!

This thread is simply meant to be a lighthearted discussion of what some of us choose to snack on while we follow along.

This would make SUCH a good idea for a thread... Would you mind if I used this quote to explain the idea? Feel free to say no! It's just that I can't pass up claiming such a fine piece of forum real estate without at least asking!
I was gonna say...Perhaps just plain old buttered popcorn. Who could object to that? After all, we are Christians. Nothing too spicy for us!
I've heard of being plain old vanilla, but plain old buttered popcornis a whole 'nother level!
