  • 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.

  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

    Suppose you were on a date...

    Does she look like Kim Petras? ;) Well... does she look like Kim Petras? :thumbsup: No. Of course it would. I like vaginas. A lot. (But, umm... does she look like Kim Petras?)

    Hate Crime @ McDonalds

    And yet you're attempting to have a meaningful discussion about a different topic you've not studied. No, I equate disagreeing with the accepted definition of GID with lacking sufficient understanding to have a reasonable conversation. GID is not feeling "more feminine" or "more masculine"...

    Hate Crime @ McDonalds

    Actually, it would seem from my responses that I don't believe you can contribute to the discussion in any meaningful way, due to your lack of knowledge. Could you have a meaningful discussion of code optimisation if you've never studied computer programming? Could you have a meaningful...

    Hate Crime @ McDonalds

    I did. Re-read what you said. You said they just need to play the part of the biology they were given. That's what books and universities are for. I already have a full-time job, and it isn't teaching. Your first classes for each of psychology, sociology, and human sexuality will be one...

    Hate Crime @ McDonalds

    It's not about feeling "more feminine than most men feel", it's about feeling "female". There's a big difference. So, essentially, you would tell someone with depression to just stop being depressed. Brilliant! It doesn't work for depression, or social anxiety, and it sure ain't gonna work for...

    Help! Friend in need; dont know what to do!

    You clearly know very little about "drug deals" and the drug trade. The entire story sounds ludicrous. Or maybe I should ask the growers *I* know how often the Hells Angels or the mafia get involved! :P

    Pureland Buddhism and Amitabha

    Well, sure. Most of them don't do much serious research. They read the suttas and sutras, they read works by various meditation monks or scholar monks, and ultimately they end up siding with one of the common party lines. They'll debate the meaning of anattā 'til the cows come home, but...

    How Easter Killed My Faith in Atheism

    It's true. The pagans have nothing. Well, I guess they do have eggs. And bunnies. But, like, other than that, I mean c'mon! Oh, and chocolate. In the shapes of eggs and bunnies. Yummy, yummy chocolate.... Mmmm... It's true. Seriously. A scientologist told me so. That's just ridiculous...

    Pureland Buddhism and Amitabha

    Just to make it easier, here's an excerpt: "'Other' does not mean a spiritual power or object external to your self, like a God, but the 'Other' refers to your true and real self shared by all things, the Oneness of life itself." Which seems to disagree with the excerpt I posted from the jodo...

    Pureland Buddhism and Amitabha

    This is from the jodo shu website (in contrast to jodo shinshu, the other japanese pure land school): "The Pure Land school established on this basis may be called the way of salvation by a "power outside of ourselves," or "other power" (i.e., the power of Amida Buddha)." FWIW.

    Pureland Buddhism and Amitabha

    Eudaimonist pretty much nailed it. And wikipedia is a good place for more info. Amitabha is sort of a "deified buddha", and unlike the historical buddha, arahants, and bodhisattvas, was likely never a real person. Pure Land is very much a christian-like form of buddhism, relying on faith and...

    Cheating against the house.

    Ok, let's clear up a few things: First, as already mentioned, counting cards in your head is not illegal. Second, it's actually pretty easy to determine whether someone is counting cards or not. Third, a casino may or may not kick somebody out for winning "a lot" (which is rather subjective...

    What should the punishment be for enjoying gore?

    Yay! I'm not the only one! =D It's hard to not like the classics. ;)

    Was it right for God to offer Job to Satan?

    Sounds like some folks need to learn what satan's role is in judaism.

    What should the punishment be for enjoying gore?

    I'm not sure to whom this is directed, since I don't think anybody has given advice on what to watch, but I'll assume you're referring to my post (correct me if I'm wrong). If that's the case, I'd like to make it clear that I'm not promoting any particular movie selections, and I am not giving...
