  • 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.

So would I be right in saying that Jesus is stated as being a god to those who believe in Jesus. If I was doing a research paper I would refer to Jesus as a god in Christianity? Is every God equal to all the other Gods or are some Gods more equal than others? Do all God exist? if not which Gods exist and which Gods don't exist?

In Christianity all gods are made of wood, ceramic, paper,etc; they are all dead and are just knockoffs that satan uses to deceive men. Except the only Living Eternal God of the bible; who also is represented by Jesus the son of God (God incarnate) and the Holy Spirit (the Spirit of God). That's how I feel.

And a Hindu, for instance, would feel the same regarding all gods and the gods pertaining to his religion. No particular reason to pick one or the other then?

So then you agree that no man is good. That what I believe also.

How good of a person you are isn't related to bias. For example, even god is biased in the Christian religion in that it treats "bad" people differently than "good" people. Favoring anything because of personal preference is bias. It has nothing to do with whether or not what you favor is good or bad, because giving anything more support because you like it or were exposed to it first is bias.

That's exactly what I was doing, being frank.
Surly that would depend on whether the beliefs are stupid and nonsense wouldn't it? belief without evidence is stupid.

Treating stupid claims as if they are stupid claims should surly be the norm, why beat around the bush?
Would you say that telling us they have an invisible friend is insulting our intelligence? they don't think twice about offending us but we must always consider their feelings, why is that? people talking to them as if they are stupid and they don't understand must surly be even more offensive to them, we know they think like children but there is no need to speak to them like children.

They can't even tell us what it is they actually believe because they don't know themselves so why shouldn't we tell them?

Because religion isn't inherently stupid just because you personally think it is. It has both helped people and hurt them, it remains still a prominent factor in our societies, its historical relevance is unmatched. And you just blow it off as stupid? Because that makes you so much better than people who call atheism stupid.

On the other hand, sometimes it is the pure entertainment value that keeps people engaging with him and at times, he does provide some entertainment.
Thank you, sir! :)
