  • 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.

Are you a christian?

Man, I didn’t say that. I whole heartedly believe in the Bible.

Oh, I know.

Sorry.

I didn't mean to imply you did.

It was a rhetorical question to you, but makes a good point with those who wor embrace science.

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.
I prayed when I was still a believer.

Lol!!! No sir. Total opposite forces. One good the other evil. Let me tell you a secret they both work. Evil forces oppose good, if you want to believe it or not.

So, answer me this question. When you were a believer or a individual who prayed. What was your experience with prayer. Were you angry if you didn’t get an answer right away?
No, I don’t recall ever being angry. Perhaps confused and I some cases helplessness. There was never an “answer”.

The “it’s true whether you believe it or not” line is nonsense. I need evidence.

What type of evidence do you want? Ok, how about the guy who killed the young college students in their home- have you heard of that story?

Or this one?

James Dallas Egbert III (October 29, 1962 – August 16, 1980) was a student at Michigan State University who disappeared from his dormitory room on August 15, 1979. The disappearance was widely reported in the press, and his participation in the fantasy role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons was seized upon by press and investigators alike as being potentially related to his disappearance, propelling the previously obscure game to nationwide attention.

What are we doing? Now choosing mythical Gods? Why? When we can all choose the one true God! Just obey.
There's the rub. Which religion is the correct one (or is even any religion correct)? I know the Bible claims God is the creator but how do we know the Bible's claims are correct?

Being told to "just obey" isn't very persuasive.

I ask about Jesus vs Allah,
They are the same. Like I said- I'm not walking into a gotcha where I am forced to choose the one you select for me. There are hundreds of gods that I could choose: why limit my choice to your preference?
