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.

Actually of all the books, in this case songs, I've found these to be very comforting even to someone who has zero faith. I often remember a colleague who when tempted by vision of pure delight (in his case a beautiful woman) would recite a passage from there.
It's also known that soldiers in some of the most horrific scenes, witnessing horrors untold would evoke the name of God -- even if it were just to say, "OH MY GOD!!!!!" (then again they were probably right : http://www.nobeliefs.com/DarkBible/darkbible3.htm )

It means someone can be the author of something that someone else typed.

I have even heard Christians praise the name of Thor once a week, on the 5th day of each week.

I highly, highly doubt that.
My wife is a secretary of a Fortune 100 company, and I can ASSURE you, if she "makes it up," she'll be working in the mail room (if she's lucky).

That's because her boss is real.
Do you think Muhammad was making it up? He didn't get fired.

Yes, there's need to be some credibility to any text which was claimed to be authored directly, partly or even second, third, fourth etc. hand. Hmm?

The letter itself contains the evidence.
The secretary puts his/her initials in the closure.

Weren't the quotes from Paul's letters -- who contest authorship?

The letter is the claim, not the evidence. If you really believed that, then you would accept the Quran since the Quran says it was dictated by Allah.

She types what she's told to type.
In her case, it's called "dictation" or "mechanical inspiration."
God, however, used a different kind of "dictation," called "verbal plenary inspiration," in which He let His amanuenses use their own terminology and style of writing, so long as they conveyed pure Truth and the subject He wanted written.

Can you just for once not derail the topic of a thread? Please contribute to the subject of the thread. It shouldn't be hard since it is something you believe in.
