  • 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.

In my theology, any omniscient, omnipotent “god” that communicates with creatures in their creation, knowing that those creatures do not have the wherewithal to comprehend said god, is abusing their power.
In Christian theology God says that His creation is able to understand Him. Your theology comes up with excuses for not listening to God and rejecting and rebelling against Him. Which you'll find out was a really bad decision once you stand before Him in the not too distant future.

More errors than tbat [sic]? Or that? Would you like me to capitalize on every error you make? Or would you object to being given your own medicine?
No. Such a trite atitude is a good example to others as how not to conduct yourself in a forum. And there was another for you to exhibit it.

I realize it’s a medical condition, but those who get the surgery and pretend to be something they aren’t mock God.
I wonder if the same would be said about those who need surgery because of the issues surrounding National Smile Day (celebrated May 31st). You know, surgeries like dental care and cleft palate repair. Maybe those also mock god by having people pretend to be something they aren't, or perhaps instead there's something specific being sold to rile up people only about the day mentioned in the OP. Would be interesting to figure out why there's not the same level of manufactured outrage about both.

It's the genitals. It's always about the genitals with certain people.

Hooray for false equivalencies.

Like the people who want to perform genital changes on children to see how it turns out for them ten years later?

We were talking about people getting offended about some things that "mock god" and not about others. Try to keep up.

Yes, that's one thing that gets some people riled up disproportionately.

Not infant circumcision to prevent masturbation, though. That's okay.

Gender is performance. Sex is the physical anatomy. One and the same, in physical terms.
Now that you've come to these conclusions, I think you should spend some time thinking about them.

What would be proportionate riling up over that?

That's odd considering that circumcision in no way whatsoever prevents masturbation. American parents went with circumcision because US doctors told them it was hygienic and helped prevent urinary tract infections, penile cancer, STDs, and cervical cancer in sex partners. That perhaps could have been a smoke screen when the real reason was to prevent maturation, except it doesn't. Also there are a lot of people who get riled up over circumcision. They're the probably ones you heard the masturbation myth from.

Here on Christian forums Christianity is considered the only true belief and should be heavily promoted here. The only legitimate complaint regarding that is we don't do it as much as we should.
A lot of the Christians here disagree with one another on the will of God do they not?

I don't care. Are you or are you not a mortal man who is fallible?
Of course I'm a mortal man who is fallible, so was Moses and the prophets and the apostles and all disciples of Christ whom God told to proclaim His will and commandments.

The scripture describes it well. James 5:17 -
"Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are..."

And: 1 Corin 10:13 -
"There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man:..."

And Peter, after the healing of the lamb man Acts 3:12:
"why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our own power or holiness we had made this man to walk?"
Of course, the implied answer is no... there was no holiness on their part.
