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.

Where did that "something" come from?
It was not to foil their plans. It was a response to tell them to take a hike.
We did not care what Boris was thinking about it. It was about what the American people were thinking about it. Godless Communism produced a mentality that was sub-human. No joy.. only a drive to tell other people how to live and wanting to control others with tyranny.
Someone gives you the finger. You simply give them the finger back if you have a little gumption. Its not supposed to be a way for defense.
The only real defense is to seek to live in truth and not lies. If atheists had their way, we would all be living in lies. The Communists does not have to attack us within. All he has to do is to fund sympathetic atheists (unnamed) organizations and let them do the work for them by giving them the power to feel comfortable to be themselves. Kindred spirits.
The godless always seek the same path. They share in a common hatred for those who love and cherish life with a capacity to appreciate material things. They want to control their thinking and force them not to enjoy a life that acknowledges that God gave them life.
I had a dream last night that atheists took over Life Magazine in the 1960's. They changed the name to "Existing Magazine." The price was still 25 cents. But, added an additional tax of 5.00 to pay for all their government organizations designed to make the people feel like the state was their father and god.
If there were no God? Men would invent one to escape the death thinking of atheism.

Don't know.
Baloney. I am pretty sure that the little smatterings of atheistic communist americans already knew they were not welcome.
I think you need to take the blinders off. Atheism has nothing to do with communism. Atheists are not nihilists. Seriously, actually learn what people think instead of thinking the worse of them.

Attacking a Christian nation and a nation claiming "God with us" are two different things.
To quote a famous quiz show:
"Will the real Christian nation please stand up?"

Probably just what scientists think of us.
What did the Canaanites think of the Jews?

You don't know where that "something" came from. Yet, you know there is no God? How do you know?
No one has ever seen God.
The One and Only Son—the One who is at the Father’s side..
He has interpreted Him and He has made Him known.

Man can not see God.
Nor, can we see radio waves.
Its a radio that makes them known.
Radio waves are real.
God gave us His radio.

Truth is not determined by a majority belief.
Psychology plays a huge role in beliefs and especially beliefs on faith, which essentially means one holds a belief, with no objective evidence to support it. Do some reading on; psychology of belief.
Everyone has different psychological needs and not everyone believes in something because it was taught to them when they were young, or there exists significant social pressures to believe in it to be accepted.
Some choose to believe in things when that belief has evidence to support it and or it makes logical sense.

Any guesses?
How long did it take for the caterpillar to go from his leaf eating stage to finally evolve and enter into the cocoon stage? Why did he not die while in the cacoon stage, but emerged as a butterfly? Would not that require a drastic and rapid transformation after entering the cocoon stage, and not take millions of years to come about?
Come on. Some honest, thoughtful answers, please.

Why then, do so many find Him?
You think He will save just anybody? Anyone who makes demands of Him to make Himself known?
Luke 23:7-9
When he learned that Jesus was under Herods jurisdiction,
he sent him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem at that time.
When Herod saw Jesus, he was greatly pleased, because for
a long time he had been wanting to see him. From what he
had heard about him, he hoped to see him perform a sign of
some sort. He plied him with many questions, but Jesus
gave him no answer.
Its all about attitude. The proud do not hear his voice.When he learned that Jesus was under Herods jurisdiction,

You might as well ask why humans do not die when they have to metamorph from a baby into an adult.
