  • 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.

Questions you always wanted to ask a Christian or non believer and remarks are accepted also.

No please explain
A ‘Karen’ in modern parlance is a shrill, entitled, overbearing, nearly always complaining woman. It’s used as an insult to denote someone demanding better service, often demanding to see the manager to be a preferential service or for someone to lose their job due to a perceived slight.

Huh? Who is that
One of the chief Sumerian gods. He is known for his affection for humanity. He created the first humans, was lord of fresh water and warned Ziusudra about the Flood. He taught humans irrigation.

He’s be my choice if I had to choose a god.

We have to finally come to the knowledge of an evil presence exist. Fighting humanity at every cost.

And how are we going to do that with science?

Especially the brand of science (so called*) that doesn't accept Biblical cause-and-effect?

* 1 Timothy 6:20 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:

A disrespectful non-answer.

(I knew I wouldn't get one though. This isn't my first rodeo.)
Dunno why you say that. Enki is one of the many gods who is not Jesus. Beside, Saint Pope JP 2nd said God and Allah are the same god so it’s an obvious trick question that I’m not falling for.

I wonder how many left god because God didn't answer their prayers,?
The problem I encountered with prayer is that it amounts to an interpretation game like describing what you see in a Rorschach picture. Everyone will come to a different conclusion but seemingly never a clear answer. May as well read tea leaves.

Then why does God tell us to pray?

God never told me anything. Man has written in the Bible what they have decided God wants. I have no evidence that a god or God has ever communicated with humanity.

What are we doing? Now choosing mythical Gods? Why? When we can all choose the one true God! Just obey.

So that "problem you encountered with prayer" is not based on your own experience with prayer, I take it?

It's based on what others say about prayer?

That's like me saying:

The problem I have encountered with walking on the moon, is that others who have walked on the moon have different experiences doing it.

I never have walked on the moon.

So, answer me this question. When you were a believer or a individual who prayed. What was your experience with prayer. We’re you angry if you didn’t get an answer right away?

I ask about Jesus vs Allah, and get Enki.

Par for the course for academia.

Like I said, this isn't my first rodeo.

No, I assume he has rated in the past. I believe his problem is not getting the answer he desired? Is that right, Comana?
