• 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.

So humans memories are not a good indicator of the past. Thus I would conclude these memories are not good evidence for gods or aliens rather than an implication. Which leaves the question of do you have any evidence that reality is not stable? And at this point we probably ought to define "reality".

And I checked the first one I responded to. Yes the Mandela effect was relevant, people have fallible memories. Now what are you arguing that that there is some question about reality? How are you determining reality?

Many people have a memory of "Luke I am Your Father" as the iconic line from the Empire Strikes Back. Apparently he says No. He never said Luke.

So, the Mandela effect. Your point?

You do know what the Mandela effect is?
