  • 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

    Christianity is True

    I wouldn't be arguing that the bible is literally true, since that isn't something held by the whole of Christianity. I might argue that Jesus was/is the son of God, depending on theological implications of such a statement, given that most of Christianity does hold that to be true. A hebrew man...

    Formal Debate Peanut Gallery thread - Unmarried Co-Habitation is Morally Wrong ...

    Seems to me that according to the bible, if you form a household, make a commitment, and live like a husband and wife... biblically you're married. I'm not sure God's going to listen to the defense, "yeah, but we didn't sign a government paper."

    Christianity is True

    I would not be hinging my position on typical post-reformation sola scriptura. And Christus, I guess you could say I've had a bit of a conversion experience... I'll call myself a Western Unorthodox Christian now lol ;)

    Christianity is True

    I'll be taking the position that Christianity is true. I'd like the most intelligent, most highly-qualified non-believer to debate me on the issue. Whoever debates me should know that I may not take orthodox positions in many cases, but I will be well-reasoned with them and supply ample support...

    Is the self eternal?

    I would say we don't know enough yet, but I probably hope so. There's a hard problem with qualia that we have yet to answer.

    It could be. Just given her specific conditions, it's less likely than other answers. I think sometimes we let our biases tell us what the most likely answer is: in this case a complete skeptic such as myself, fully aware of the situation, had to step back and rethink my position. You have to...

    She was in a constant state of believing she was in her home and her lack of short term memory was a barrier to creativity (conscious and subconscious). She was a lovely person stuck in mental loops in which she repeated the same things over and over (although to be fair she was so kind and...

    I'm not sure parsimonious is the correct word there.

    Well there's always the chance. But as far as probabilities go, it is highly unlikely. That doesn't mean there's a religious answer, and it doesn't completely rule out hallucinations. But it's enough to give me pause and consider.

    If your personal hunch is the ultimate truth of the cosmos, I would indeed be surprised. I'm hoping for something more amazing. =)

    Well, given that I find the Bible to be lacking in many areas, I doubt that is true. That said, maybe there's a more beautiful truth out there. =)

    On May 24th, my Grandmother passed away after about three weeks of kidney failure. She was 87 and a wonderful, wonderful human being. Three weeks prior to her death we were informed that she had six hours to live due to the kidney failure, however, a 1/1000 chance medication did cause her...

    YAHWEH is GOD - Peanut Gallery Thread

    That which is asserted without evidence is dismissed without evidence. I cannot disprove invisible pixies are God either, but without evidence I don't need to.
