  • 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.

It takes a person of extraordinary arrogance to claim that the billions of people who have had and are having a spiritual connection with what they call God is really just a persons imagination.

I will ask you again, can you name one person that can demonstrate that this experience is not simply a product of their imagination?

Atheist, as in you on this forum, are more than neutral, faith-pacifists. Atheist of your type promote Godless ideals, like Mark who wants to eliminate Christianity.

When did I ever say that I wanted to eliminate Christianity? I'll admit that my memory is poor, but I doubt that I had ever said that. Link, please.


eudaimonia,

Mark

Yes, Jesus Christ.

Can you name one person that can demonstrate that God is just a product of mans imagination?

It's not a complex when it's really happening. Atheist pounce on people on these threads, but then get all like "what, who me,???? I was just minding my own business (on the Christian forum) when all of a sudden some guy gets all subjective and so I'm like "well, you gotta prove that unprovable experience" bla bla bla!...."man he must have some sort of complex or something.....weird man!?!?!?

It's called questioning you when you make assertions on a discussion forum...

Look in the mirror if you want to know who is angry.

Are you Marks mother?

You were JUST complaining about being asked to evidence the unevidencable.

I am pointing out that you can't be bothered to evidence basic claims of fact that you yourself are a supposed witness to when you make accusations against people you are having a discussion with.

I looked for it, don't remember which thread it was but it definitely stuck out. He doesn't usually talk so bluntly about it. A couple threads have been moved by the mods into Christian apologetics. Logic Fallacy was one, he had a deleted post there but I don't think that was it, I remember that day, he didn't know the thread had moved but relied to something.

I remember in the dialog that Mark made the point that he has relatives that are dear to him and Christians. It was more about the influence of Christianity on society.

Vague recollections are not evidence. When I looked I found a thread on eliminating religion where he posted:

http://www.christianforums.com/t7861266-2/

This thread doesn't seem to support your accusations though.

And you're claiming that in this mysterious, elusive post Mark claims that he wishes to "eliminate Christianity"?

Something to that effect. Would that be an unheard of motivation for atheist who consistently tell Christians on a Christian forum that we are just imagining things? Oh gasp!

Well we can't show that he didn't make the illusive post so the burden of proof is on you again. ;)

Or you can keep making assertions without evidence; it seems to be your forte.

I wouldn't say that, but I will say that it seems pretty out of character for Eudaimonist. If it wasn't I'm sure you wouldn't be relying solely on this mysterious missing post to lay your accussation. Am I right?

But you already know that religionist can't provide definitive proof of the God they know in spirit, so there is something very disingenuine about this supposedly innocent desire to critically examine someone's faith.

Then the religionist should stop pretending that I am intellectually obligated to assent to his doctrines. He already knows that it's not unreasonable for someone to not share his theology.
