  • 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.

I found that strangely very therapeutic.
Yes! Very peaceful. They're kind of creepy and beautiful all at the same time. And calming.
It's probably a good thing they don't need to wear contact lenses, because that would get expensive. :eyes::eyes::eyes:

At least we can be sure that they are keeping an eye on us. Maybe they are watchful Angels.

Here is a video that shows what angels might look like according to the descriptions of them in scripture.

Brings new meaning to "an eye for an eye"

Wow interesting. Kinda scary but not scary at the same time. If I saw that in real life I would be scared though.

Re. angels: If you’re open minded, and not easily offended, you might consider reading an early 20th century French novel, La Revolte des Anges (The Revolt of the Angels.) Written by Anatole France, a journalist, author, and critic. It’s about the guardian angel of a wealthy young man, who comes down to Earth to study in the man’s extensive library. He reads books on history, philosophy, science, theology, geography, and many other topics. He comes to suspect that everything he thought he knew about God, is upside down. God is not the righteous, holy deity as portrayed in the Bible. He’a actually a power-mad demiurge (a minor god) who craves worship and adoration. Satan, OTOH, who was the greatest and brightest angel is the true lover and benefactor of mankind. Who led the unsuccessful rebellion against the dictator God, and whose name and reputation have been falsely smeared for all eternity. I won’t get into the rest of the plot. The link has more info:

The Revolt of the Angels by Anatole France

Of course, the book was immediately banned as heretical and blasphemous by the RCC when it was published. But that didn’t prevent Anatole France from winning the Nobel Prize for literature. Being banned might actually have helped it win. :oldthumbsup:
An angel appeared to the children at Fatima. Later came the miracle of the sun, the events were documented by so many anti-Catholics and atheists. If you're open-minded you might take a look at the evidence.

Wow, that’s an oldie. I haven’t heard anything about Fatima in decades. As I recall, not everyone in the crowd saw the sun dancing in the sky. And anyway, we only have one sun. If it was doing acrobatics, why wouldn’t that have been noticed, and reported, everywhere in the world?

You’re entitled to believe anything you like. But the Fatima event is clearly an example of mass delusional disorder. Nothing supernatural about it in the least.

Indeed, if the sun danced why would people who were only eleven miles or closer see it? Science cannot explain it. Yet 70,000 people is a lot to be deluded, all of those atheists, journalist skeptics, you would think at least one would not be subject to mass delusional order, one individual did try and explain it away--odds are you would have seen it as well. Even more interesting is everyone was soaked and then immediately dry after the vision. Do you think all 70,000 hallucinated the dryness for hours until they really were dry? Is There Strong Evidence for The Miracle of the Sun? Personally I believe the children saw an angel and that the people saw a miracle.

The sun may have been eclipsed by an Angil just lined up with that specific area.

Yes, the Angel was dancing in front of the Sun just for them, not the whole world.

Easily explained. A crowd of people whipped up into a religious frenzy staring at the sun for too long lol.
Have you ever heard of refraction?
I see, so you as an atheist would also have been whipped up into a religious frenzy like the atheists and other skeptics who were there? And it just so happened that there was something strange going on with the sun that 70,000 people were mesmerized? How about their clothes being completely dry after the deluge of rain?

Saying things doesn't make them true.
I'll give you an example.... Yesterday I saw a fairy in my garden pulling up daisies, prove me wrong
I was making the point about Fatima, at Fatima we have documented supernatural events observed by a variety of witnesses.
