• 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.

Origin of God's Morality.

Step up to the plate with some criteria, and examples both positive and negative, and I will let you know.

How is that list of testable criteria coming along? Do you have anything yet? No?
Always questions.......never answers....

I presented as much a case as you did. Why was your case sufficient, but mine wasn't? Is there one standard for you and another for me?
The "four designers"....are they just a fantasy in your mind? If not, would like to see the basis for them.....

LOL. You haven't presented a case at all. You've simply insisted that the answer is design, and you've assumed that there can be only one designer.
Well, one is more believable than the four you have postulated.....

That's the thing, civil, we do understand it, which is why we are asking you to show us how you reasoned to your conclusions regarding gravity being designed, for example.
Are you saying gravity was not designed? Do you believe it is a random field?.....maybe it is systematic.....do you have evidence of that?....I mean besides what you fantasize in your mind?

That's what I thought, nothing but a fantasy in your mind.....
Such double-standards you have. You expect me to provide evidence for 4 or more designers, but you give yourself a pass for not being able to provide evidence for even 1.

I honestly don't know why I'm continuing with this conversation, given how fruitless it has been so far. I don't normally engage in discussions of this nature, especially when the other party isn't beyond such juvenile tactics. Perhaps it's boredom. In any case: @civilwarbuff and @Root of Jesse: either put up or shut up.

You are the one who brought up 4 designers not me.....cough up the evidence or take your ball and go home.
