• 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.

Is there an answer to this question?

If thoughts don't have weight then do they really exist? Can you name something that really exists that has no mass and hence no weight?

Aren't thoughts electrical impulses in the brain? Of course on would need to identify the source of those thoughts, IMO.

How much does love weigh?

The people I love do weigh something. Parents, spouse, cousins, uncles, aunts, friends. They are all able to be weighed since they exist. I can measure the events that led me to love these people. I think that answers the question as best as possible.

Interesting idea, I presume the idea is "electrical impulses in the brain". Would one get some thoughts if one ran an electric current through a cadaver's brain?

Interesting question. This would mean that consciousness is more than just the brain.

How much does your love weigh, not the weight of those you love.
