  • 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

    Who are we?

    Sophia23 Do not down-play the importance of your answer, please. I also believe exactly as you do, the divinity or godness of everything. I also see the human "ego" as our downfall. It turns the "eden" in which we live into the hell that now exists. But what in us makes it possible to turn...

    Was hitler any more "evil" than anyone else

    Every person, I believe, has the capacity to be Ghandi or Hitler. In fact they were very much alike. They both understood the unbelievable power of the human spirit to care. They both focused that caring on nationalism. They both used that caring for political purposes, though one might believe...

    Who are we?

    If you could point to one thing that makes us distinctly human. For example, Descartes pointed to the thinking process when he said "I think therefore I am". That quote of yours sees to point to choice, as did the moment in The Matrix III where Neo says to Smith "Because I choose to". Is it a...

    Was hitler any more "evil" than anyone else

    Hitler was and was not more evil than anyone else. His soul was the same as everyones. His manifestation of that soul through life was or became what we would call evil by the body Hitler. Evil, in my opinion, is a distorted view of the human soul.

    Who are we?

    If not a philosophical question - then what? It was a question in reference to human essence, not one of empirical observation.

    Who are we?

    Has anyone stopped to ask "if we are the children of God, what makes us so". What sets us apart from the rest of creation that makes us special? Or on a purely philosophical level what sets us apart from the other animals? What is human essence?

    Is love unconditional or is it extortion?

    What if everyone is already a Christian? Did Christ march around expecting people to worship him? And what was his message - was it not that we should simply care about each other? It is hard to find many that do not love or care for someone. Are they not all following the message of Christ in...
