• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

You objectionable atheist?

I admire the courage and humor of atheists, but atheists are too proud, they believe that only atheism, indeed, religion is false, the discourse is very sharp.
I consider that the atheist is no manners, no respect for others.
I am a Chinese girl. China has a lot of atheists, there are many religious people. I prefer to exchange and religious figures.

You don´t happen to have an even broader brush in your toolbox?

Thank you for commenting.

Have you met any Christians that are part of what we call the underground Christian Church in China?


What do you know about Christianity?

Well, except for the Buddhists who have an atheistic religion. I'm guessing they don't believe religion is false. :wave:

As a Humanist, perhaps Rose you can work on your people skills. And not judge people so harshly.

I have great respect for the atheist, like atheists brave, but I think atheists are too proud

Which atheists?

they believe that only atheism, indeed, religion is false, the discourse is very sharp.

Religious people usually only believe that their own religion is true and other religions are false. I'm not certain how that is different.

I consider that the atheist is no manners, no respect for others.

I have respect for you. Respecting you doesn't mean that I have to agree with you. I can disagree with your beliefs and yet respect you as a person.

I'm not a Chinese atheist. Do you think I have to be like one just because I'm an atheist?

Two points:
1) Trying to paint all atheists with the same brush is being prejudicial. Some are proud, some are not. You can't just write off the differences between people.
2) I don't see what point you're trying to make... Religious people think Atheism is false. You're either a Theist or an Atheist, holding one position means you don't hold the other... there's no discourse there at all.

I consider that the atheist is no manners, no respect for others.

This statement in itself is rude, disrespectful and lacking manners.

I have a great deal of respect for many people, religious or not. I don't respect religion though, as I think it's a very destructive force in society... but I judge people based on the content of their character more than anything. Most people are good people, and I don't care what their religious beliefs are.

I'm not sure what you mean here.

But religious people will be gentle, though probably only because etiquette

I think atheists rude. No relationship with philosophy, this is a matter of personal accomplishment.

I did not expect atheists reply me
