  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Supposably we (humans) came from bacteria.......correct me if thats not what you believe.

So,

where did this bacteria come from?

how did it form from nothing?

what was its purpose?

why did it change form?

why are there no fossils of the stages between bacteria and 'monkeys'?
Please don't get me wrong, but - are you serious?

So let me ask you. Do you believe the Bible is a fairy tale????

I think the Bible is a fairy tale for adults who think the world is full of happiness and pink fluffy clouds where nothing ever goes wrong - Adults who live in Lalaland and need to wake up.

In other words, yes. It's not even a very good fairy tale.

And you know what adults think, how?

He didn't say what other adults think, merely what he thinks. It is a perfectly valid point and he isn't alone in thinking that the bible is f[FONT=&quot]ictitious. [/FONT]
He must have been talking about other adults, since he is not an adult.

All I said was that he was only talking about his own opinion, you seem to have the idea that he was saying what other people think.

Why yes, yes I do
