  • 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.

    First Commandment

    You know the UK has a Pagan heritage if you look back enough. What your actually saying is there, more of us than you, so if you want to be on our turf you play by our rules. Freedom of religion is one of the fundamental pillars on which western society stands. It would not be western society...

    fellow atheists

    Well whether religion is good or bad isnt really relevant to being atheist, or any religion really, it simply comes down to what you believe. For me Atheism is the clear undoubted belief that there is no God or Gods for that matter, and therefore I'm indifferent to religion.

    Does atheism deal with a person’s significance and purpose?

    I feel my only purpose is to 'Be happy' whether it be in the long or short term. I dont really understand why all things must have a purpose? My significance doesnt really seem to have any bearing on why I continue to live. I'm happy with my life, I enjoy each day and will continue to do so...
