• 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.

请解释什么第一楼的意思。

基督教可以启发艺术,纯化心灵,所以是美丽的。
佛教的智慧太大,其他宗教很难超越,所以是明智的。
道教随性自在,所以是自由的。
无神论敢于挑战,所以是勇敢的。
我能包容一切,所以是快乐的。

我们为什么有宗教?
它是为谁?
是什么使基督教比所有其他宗教不同?

Some people may say that your words are linear, that they are over simplified...all I can say is that you are already far wiser and loving than so many of the people who claim to be ''righteous'' on this forum.

You are a good person with a good heart, I can tell by your personality throughout this forum. Despite your difficulties with the language (and with racist bigots), you have tried to show kindness to everyone else in your own way. That is nothing less than admirable. I want to be more like you!

Well it depends how you interpret all those things. Christianity can be beautiful, but how many practice it is rather ugly in comparison. The problem is that there are different types of Christianity. I assume that is true of the other religions too.

Atheism can be brave, but it can be merely mediocre, or part of an natural process. I didn't become an atheist because I was brave. I kicked and screamed through the process of losing my faith.

Sorry for the slight disagreement. :)

I think all of those can be described by more than one adjective, but I think it is great that you have chosen positive adjectives.

Is it great to describe things positively? I think the positive adjectives can be appropriate, but negative ones could be just as truthful.

They are a little (very) simplified, but I'd agree that she could still have a much better worldview some.

Most people habitually focus on the negatives. Perhaps they think they are being truthful, and indeed they may express part of a truth, but it's not a great way to go through life. There is greatness in recognizing and giving full honor to the positives, especially about people who believe differently than oneself.
