Yeah, I'm gonna have to say I was a little underwhelmed by this years' members awards. And lets be honest, we all waited all year for them . 
There's so many members here that are due credit where credit is due, and I think it'd be a good chance for the staff to see what our peers see and hear and think about us, while giving an example of most exemplary posts, in case they have need for new moderators or whatnot. There's a lot of unsung heroes around here that I'd like to sing about, and have a place to voice my nominations for mod-hood.
Also, just a note because I know TEGH is thinkin it: You cannot nominate yourself.
1) name the person, and name what kind of award you give them
2) provide a link to a post that exemplifies the nomination
3) that's it
My first Nomination would be:
xPastor
For his exemplary posting in the face of .. well, Drich. Despite being put through the ringer about his ex-pastorial qualifications.

If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!
Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.
I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.

Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.
