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.

To be tautological, a fool is someone who lacks wisdom. (Wisdom as defined in the OP). That's a basic definition but there are many other ways to describe a fool.

Are you suggesting that wise people are inoculated against Christianity?

Christianity is a religion suited only for fools, morally weak people, vicious people, and poor people.
Those who are wise, virtuous, or rich should take no interest in it.

Living in the Light
How may I be a better Christian?
Brightlights, your light doesn't shine very bright. I'm curious, since your faith icon is Calvinist where you are coming from? This post is exceedingly toxic:
"Christianity is a religion suited only for fools, morally weak people, vicious people, and poor people."
Those who are wise, virtuous, or rich should take no interest in it.

imho exactly the opposite is the case,for what does it profit anyone to gain the whole world and then loose it all - the hardest thing to do is to simply simply believe like little children viz simply simple but not childish - twinc

Jesus himself says that he only came to save sinners. He cannot help the righteous.

that is exactly what He said but what He meant is unlikely to mesh with your understanding for not being there you are unable to say whether He spoke with tongue in cheek so to speak - twinc
