• 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.

Well, you are a grammar sinner, but as for myself, my answer will be more complicated than expected. Have I done immoral or bad things in my life? Of course, anyone who lives long enough to walk eventually does lie or other such nonsense. Do I think these little things make me a bad person? No. Overall I would say I am more neutral to slightly good than anything else, never going out of my way to be terrible, but rarely going out of my way to be generous either.

Define what a bad person is? Is a liar a bad person?

Well, this would be highly subjective. I view a bad person as someone who regularly goes out of their way to hurt others without remorse.

Remorse or repentance?

I don't say how big god is. But photons have measurable properties without size.

I meant to say photons, did I say protons? (My mistake)

What are the properties that can be measured?

Remorse. If someone just emptily apologizes but still doesn't care that they hurt people, I would view that as a bad person.

Have you always shown remorse, your entire life to those you have hurt?

Honestly, depends on the circumstance. But you have to understand, to be a bad person to me cruelty has to be unwarranted and unjustified, cruelty for cruelty's sake. Also, a person either has to commit severe acts or generally tons of little acts of evil without any real acts of good. I don't view lying once to hurt someone's feelings by itself as making that person evil. But doing it every day without doing anything nice for others ever would.

The energy and roughly the number of them being released by or hitting an object.

So we are back to space that is defined by density. If there was no object to hit would there be evidence of a photon?

Well, seeing as we measure photons using instruments the photons have to hit or measuring the energy they release hitting the instruments... I suppose so. However, if they didn't have anything to hit, that would make the conditions without mass, and that has bigger problems.

How did you come to the conclusion of what is justified to call someone evil? If I never stole, and another person has stolen does that make the other person evil and me good? But you asserted the basis for stealing as a factor of justification. What court of law justifies a thief based on reasoning?

Would there be evidence to support the existence of photons if there was no object?

There would be no atoms or matter then, which BTW is what releases photons. So if there was nothing for photons to hit, there would be nothing to produce photons either.

The same as photons require objects to be revealed; how would you know what good is if there was no evil?

The photon is not the antithesis of matter, nor would matter cease to exist if protons didn't. And if this really was an issue, then heaven, which is supposed to be free of evil and sin, is in trouble.

How did I come to that conclusion? A combination of personal experiences and thinking about it.

Why would it be in trouble. Also I never meant existence of a photon. I said would there be evidence for a photon if there was no object to hit?
