  • 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.

    Islamic Misogyny

    I would call it Islamic misogyny, if only for the reason that Islamic countries such as Pakistan have laws which institutionalise the abuse and subjugation of women. Women in Islamic countries are routinely given less rights and protections than men - they can be stoned to death for not marrying...

    Creationists, where do you get your facts?

    I get that you and Nathan Poe are making a joke, but the idea that being a creationist is in any way comparable to the trauma of being raped... Yeah I gotta say I find that fairly offensive.

    The aliens among us

    I have read a study where violent, incarcerated people with psychopathy were tested against normal matches for the speed of decision making. The study included functional MRI's and decisions were pose in an either emotional or non-emotional setting. It found that even for simple "left or right"...

    Ask an Evolutionists anything!

    Do you, as someone involved in the biological study of evolution, think that evolutionary psychology holds any water?

    So I'm looking

    I find that here, the higher the service, the more liberal the theology. Which, to me, is most definitely the best of both worlds.

    Answering questions on Evolution

    I seriously had to stop reading the thread halfway though. There didn't seem to be any questions about evolution, and AVET's worship of the KJV was downright creepy. I love the KJV. But it was written by man, and it certainly was not purified by those men. They had their own political agenda...

    Birth of New Species Witnessed by Scientists

    This is an article from wired dot com. I cannot post links, but searching "speciation-in-action" should bring up the original article. Please note - I don't have any further information about the science on the article - I study sociology, not biology.

    Anxiety & Christianity - a quiet rant

    My church has started doing a big run of "healing services" Not only do I think these are bunk, I think they're selfish bunk. How many children in Africa died of starvation while the person with a bruised elbow was being prayed for then? Why didn't God feed those kids rather than magically heal...

    WWMC Random Thoughts Thread

    Dear friend, the only reason I did not watch Torchwood season 3 was specifically so I didn't have to listen to you talk about it. so [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse]!!!

    Chastity Bono

    Yes, I indeed believe that the Bible is the final answer in all matters of God. Perhaps then you could answer where the Bible clarifies whether people who were born neither male nor female, or both, or wrongly assigned - were created by God or not. Because those things aren't matters of God...

    When can I give up?

    I've been ill with depression for three years. I'm only 20, and despite the myriad of drugs and doctors I have seen, I'm getting worse and not better. I've never had a job, can't get educated and basically have no future. I pray every night that God will let me die in my sleep. I've attempted...

    Taking questions on Embedded Age Creation

    I wonder what this theory of embedded age gives us in terms of the methods to understand the development of life sciences as they are being studied today. Evolutionary and old earth geology gives us ways of understanding not just the past, but the present and the future. How does this ex-nihilo...

    Chastity Bono

    Well, because not everyone is XX or XY. There are a lot of people who are X, or XXY, Or XYY or Y, or have endocrine or hormonal disorders (Androgen insensitivity syndrome is an interesting one - is a person who is physically entirely female, but genetically entirely male a man or a woman?) or...
