  • 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.

    Richard Dawkins...

    Doesn't one have to be unreasonable to be religious though? I mean the entire concept of 'having faith' is believing in something you can't see. Which is unreasonable. Why is it a bad thing to be called an enemy of reason? I am a Christian, and I do not disagree with much of what Dawkins says.

    Osama's Assassination Biblical or Evil?

    The only time I can see murder (or killing, at least) being Biblical is when God specifically mandates it. And I am pretty sure that God did not tell Obama to kill Osama. I mean hell, maybe he did. But I would be surprised. Either way, I do not think we should ever rejoice in the death of a...

    Voluntary poverty?

    The truth is important to me. I am not set in my ways if my ways are shown wrong or illogical or stupid...so if you could do that with my points, I'd love it, as it would mean that I'd be closer to the truth. :-)

    Voluntary poverty?

    And what will they be if they follow him in that command, and take what he tells them to take on that journey? They will be poor. Right? Or does the idea of having nothing in your possession but a robe and a staff sound wealthy to you? "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth...

    Voluntary poverty?

    1. The first verse has to do with voluntary poverty because Jesus is commanding his disciples to be materially poor. You said something like "voluntary poverty is not in the Bible"...I was showing you a place where it was. 2. I am not arguing that you need to be poor to be a Christian...

    Creationism in public schools? (2)

    I like that, Growing Smaller. Although I doubt most creationists/IDers would support creationism being shown in a 'bad' light in a science classroom.

    Voluntary poverty?

    Those passages I quote where Jesus tells his disciples to "take nothing but a cloak and a staff" on their missionary journeys? That fact that Jesus himself did nothing to accrue worldly wealth? The Rich young ruler? Need I quote more?
