• 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.

He was saying it’s as if Patch Adams no longer existed
Not clear in the Reddit post. He says:
'But, if you told me it didn’t exist, I’d freak out. It is exactly the same for me with Shazam'.
I took the 'it' there as meaning the movie. I suppose he was talking about the character no longer existing because Robin Williams doesn't anymore(?)

What is it with you and this 'Mandela Effect' thing?
Do you think the memories come from some past existence (or life)of the rememberers?
If that is so, .. then I am not with you in that belief.

I tried to explain
.. and I'm trying to listen .. but you haven't explained your reasons for continually citing this 'Mandela Effect' thing as your reason for everything. I cannot see the relevance. Perhaps you should try again .. without the videos .. y'know, like in your own words!

I know it's not false memory
Earth is literally altering
Ok .. so how do you know either of those conclusions?
Ie: can you explain 'the how' you came to those conclusion?
Few explanations could be given

That’s clear
Well rather than trying to justify that you: 'know its not a false memory' and that: 'the Earth is literally altering', you should be able to at least tell us the steps by which you managed to come to those conclusions, no(?)

Do you see that justifying your conclusion, and laying out the steps for coming to it, are two separate exercises?
I'm prepared to suspend my (personal) disbelief in your conclusions, for the sake of understanding how you got there.
Do any of those steps involve, in any way, this 'Mandela Effect'?

First I noticed south America moved


A decade later I noticed many examples of the effect


I’m not in denial, that’s all

The cause is clearly that the original memory was formed from a belief, (perhaps even, a widely, collectively held one?)
Whereas science distills knowledge of 'objective reality', based on its process .. (which excludes beliefs because everything used in that process is either testable or has already been tested).
