• 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.

My memories are the same as everyone who remembers the original reality
Ah, OK. So nobody remembers how "the original reality" is different to this reality other than trivial differences? Nobody remembers anything truly consequential like different history, different climate, just a missing letter in a name or a mistake on a map.

What does gullible mean in the original reality?

You post like one. Most of your posts are meaningless groups of words that very rarely have anything to do with the post to which you are responding. And when presented with information or counter arguments you ignore them and simply repeat previously refuted assertions.

A lot of what you say is unnecessary


And should be ignored…

I changed my philosophy several times
If you think your current "philosophy" is an improvement... I shudder to think what it was before.

But, just so that people don't think I'm just flinging around empty insults: you have repeatedly shown that you have no understanding of how things work - and more important: how they don't, cannot, work. You have repeatedly shown that you have absolutely no interest in learning, calling such informations "unnecessary". That's ignorance.

But you have no problem proclaiming your intellectual superiority over the people who answer your contentless oneliners with detailed explanations. That's arrogance.

That's ignorance. That's arrogance.

K… I can appreciate this effect is real


Many people cannot appreciate this effect


Or do not appreciate it is happening

That's the problem with ignorance and arrogance. It results in people not understanding that they don't understand. It's called the Dunning-Kruger effect. And many people cannot appreciate this effect. Or appreciate that it is happening. Or that they themselves are examples of it.

Previous unedited quote: "If the test is whether you understand this effect, then you seem determined to fail"

What is there to understand? That some people claim to be totally certain of something they "remember", without providing any details as to what it is they "remember" so perfectly. And that some of these people claim that this is because of a "shift" or "change" or "slide" or whatever... they come from different "timelines" or "dimensions" where these things they "remember" really seriously are real.

Well, that's nice. I understand that. What you don't want to understand is that a lot of these people "remember" stuff that isn't possible. Is inconsistent or even contradictory to some other things they also "totally certainly remember".

It's quite simple to understand this whole "effect". It's a bit harder to understand anything beyond these peoples' claims... because there is nothing to understand other than their claims.

Note… every atheist thinks exactly so
Note: even most theists have better "evidence" for their claims that you do.
You cannot evade the utter failure of your system by blaming it on "atheists just don't like it, these meanies!"
