• 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.

You do realise that you are just demonstrating my point, right?

"Oh, I could choose to, but I just don't wanna..."

Exactly, belief is a choice. I chose to reject my belief in unicorns, and I chose to believe in God. We all have a choice.

Except you are. LOL. You could just answer the question. Instead you evade and come up with excuses.

Oh, so it's an "excuse" to refer to the fact that you were once a Christian?

I've answered you, you don't ''like'' my responses. But, I've answered you. lol

Exactly. I've repeatedly come up against the same accusations. Apparently when someone finds your answers "unsatisfactory", they can then accuse you of not answering at all.

LOL. This is becoming comical. You could choose, and thereby prove me wrong, but you "just don't wanna."

Actually, you were being evasive, and you still are.

You need to stop making these accusations. Just because you don't like someone's answers or you don't find them "satisfactory", does not mean you can accuse them of not answering at all.

I thought you were interested in being honest? Doesn't seem like it.

I've already addressed this:
Yes, and I explained why your answers didn't satisfy the question or why they raised further questions. You ignored my explanations or gave the meagre rebuttal of "that's just your opinion, man." In other words, it seems as though you don't care about the merit of your answers, so long as you are able to say that you gave an answer.

Want I don't want to do is accept your ultimatum. My beliefs are not a game to me, and I don't choose to believe something just to "prove a point." The fact that you think I should is what's "comical."

Do you really consider this approach an honest one?

Come on, amariselle. We both know why you won't choose to believe that there is a prancing unicorn in your backyard, not even for 5 minutes... Because you can't choose to believe that.

I've reported you...you're in violation of the rules here, for the forum. You're not permitted to mock us, and that is most likely why you're here.

Well, perhaps you should politely address that then. Instead you are insulting her (as you've insulted others). Do you think anyone wants to continue a dialogue with someone who insults them?

Which is in fact why I have stopped dialoguing with you multiple times. At which point you have continued to insult me with accusations like "you're running away again."

Fair enough. Your choice. But if you don't want to be honest, then don't expect others to think you truly are interested in honest discussion/debate.

I did:
Okay, but that doesn't remotely address my comments.
So are you going to address them or not?

What insult? I observed that she was being evasive; her responses did not address the content of my posts.
