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.
If we accept evolution, then where will we get our morality?

Not sure why some people seem obsessed with skin color. Some folks are so sensitive that they find a racial undertone in anything almost.
That is like trying to pick a fight.

Anyone willing to accuse God of genocide is willing to accuse His children of racism.

I guess they need some reason to post on a Christian site..it isn't like they had some science. The compulsion to accuse the saints seems to run unchecked in some here.

You have to remember that, in their eyes, we are followers of a book written by ignorant, Bronze-age, goat-herding, desert nomads.

And you have a twisted way of thinking that will insure we stay that way.

More like your interpretation of what we said.
And if how you guys interpret what the Bible says is any indication ... I'm not surprised.

If there was a Jesus I don't think he would be very happy with some of the things a lot of American Christians say, do you?
As Ghandi said, “I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.”
In a nutshell I suppose people are free to call themselves whatever they like even if they are nothing like what they call themselves.

As a person who denies Jesus as the Christ, what is your idea of a true Christian?

It probably began about 100 000 years ago. I'd ask an Anthropologist, but there all out digging our Mother.

First off how can I deny something about someone who does not exist? do you deny Allah?
Secondly the clue is in the name Christian.
I will just sat say that depending on which version of the Bible you adhere to a Christian would be someone like this:
"Ye shall know them by their fruits."
