  • 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

    The Morality of Heaven and Hell (2)

    Ok Steve, you have obvious difficulties in following an argument written in prose, so let's boil it down to point by point for you...not that I have too many hopes for success... 1. You claim that your God/Joshua were justified in killing ALL the Canaanite babies, because they were going to be...

    The Morality of Heaven and Hell (2)

    So, you do agree that there is a "bad" side to what your God is claimed to be about....excellent, that's progress...! Except we were speaking specifically about the people your God had slaughtered. So you're trying to change the subject, as you always do when your argument is failing....so...

    The Morality of Heaven and Hell (2)

    More garbage.... They came back?? After being slaughtered, every man, woman and child came back?? I thought resurrection was a trick performed by only a select few Steve...!?? And of course the Bible claims that your God is loving...it's a self-serving document! It wasn't written by people...

    The Morality of Heaven and Hell (2)

    Steve, you are simply unbelievable...I'm beginning to think you're an atheist that has planted himself amongst the theists, just to make them look bad...! Watch this ridiculous argument..... So, the babies that were slaughtered by Joshua (which was ALL of them!) would have been sacrificed...

    The Morality of Heaven and Hell (2)

    You won't debate the issues because you can't... You either throw up a wall of rambling text that has little to do with the issue, or you you start bleating about verses being out of "context", or you whine that you are being picked on by the nasty ol' atheists...! So, if you have an...

    The Morality of Heaven and Hell (2)

    All morality is subjective Steve. It's why we no longer do many of those things that were commonplace in the Bible. Only the "evil" we're punished Steve? Yeah, sure....all those babies slaughtered while they were at their mothers' breasts.....all those unborn ripped from the womb.....all those...

    The other Commandments

    Ummm.....that's kinda the point... DogmaHunter is right....

    The other Commandments

    Except it really doesn't cover "you shall take slaves from the FOREIGNERS among you" does it...?

    The Morality of Heaven and Hell (2)

    As has been explained to you many times, from the same place that you do!! This is why you and I have the same, or very similar, moral code. Neither of us would ever sacrifice one of our children. Neither one of us would ever enslave someone. We wouldn't seek to kill someone because they have...

    The other Commandments

    How about something dealing with the care and nurture of children? All we ever seem to hear in those horrible stories is how children can be sacrificed, slaughtered, raped, beaten or sold into slavery. But never that they should be loved and cherished...

    The Morality of Heaven and Hell (2)

    No, as has been repeatedly explained to you, the reason that your and my moral stances are very similar has NOTHING to do with us both having a "sense of the spiritual"...! It has MUCH more to do with the realisation that you put your religion behind you when considering moral issues. You...

    The Morality of Heaven and Hell (2)

    Now, young Steven..... So far, you have indicated to me that you are opposed to 3 practices that are condoned or supported by the Bible... You don't hold with slavery... You don't hold with slaughtering those whose religion offends you... You don't hold with murdering your prisoners...

    The Morality of Heaven and Hell (2)

    From human beings, living in ordered societies, using their empathy towards one another and coming to the realisation that such moral codes benefit all...and in doing so, also benefit the individual... We have modified our codes over time as we have moved from more isolated, independent...

    Ex-Christians

    No,they don't, as much as you'd desperately like to convince yourself....the behaviour of quantum particles has been conducted entirely through natural processes... Our reality has had its boundaries pushed all through history...we once thought it impossible to fly, to travel through space...
