  • 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.

    Does 'Goddidit' constitute an explanation?

    What a strange narrative. This entire concept brings us full circle to the concept of a loving God. I am now, 6000 years later, suffering for a single act of disobedience by two people that I couldn't possibly have influenced? 6000 years??? How do Christians buy into the Adam and Eve story and...

    Evolution Proven!

    That's the problem I'm having with the two ideas being contrasted with each other as opposites. Either way, God created a universe that is young but appears old. Regardless of whether or not that entails history, it's a deceptive move on God's part. I see no justification for God needing to have...

    Evolution Proven!

    You can lump me into that group. AV, you were asked the difference between omphalos and embedded age. You QVed a thread about embedded age without a distinct line drawn between the two concepts. You're saying that God created the universe and embedded age without history. Omphalos says that...

    Does 'Goddidit' constitute an explanation?

    Why does an omnipotent deity have to have flawed humans argue with emotion that He's real? Seems both inefficient and insufficient... Been there, done it, and it didn't work. Again, I ask why an omnipotent and loving God chooses not to reveal Himself to those who seek Him when He clearly...

    I still don't see where you get 30 years old.

    I think Willow already pointed out the flaws in this argument sufficiently, but I want it to be said that a great number of fictional works reference actual places and people. It doesn't make them true.

    Does 'Goddidit' constitute an explanation?

    I didn't really get your point, and that's why I used the phrase "I'm not sure that's your point." So none of the different denominations of Protestant Christians or Catholics or Mormons worship the Biblical God? :confused: That's because when we do see with our eyes and hear with our ears...

    I believe there is enough reliable, documented historical evidence of George Washington's existence, yes.

    Atheist here (Ask me anything)

    But loving my family is a subjective, personal experience that applies only to me. I don't extend my love for my family to you and your lifestyle. I don't propose that you should also love my family. Regardless of whether you believe I love my family, I will continue to feel the way I feel. It's...

    An atheist simply does not (or cannot) believe in the existence of gods. They don't have to firmly declare the non-existence of gods as established fact. Read your definition again (emphasis mine).

    Why is there still sin?

    What if a person who isn't one of the elect asks? What if a person who is one of the elect changes their mind? Doesn't your concept of "the elect" contradict free will and add an air of deceit to the whole salvation plan? Sounds like it to me.

    Atheist here (Ask me anything)

    I never said, "There definitely is no God." I (and many more atheists) have said, "It is extremely unlikely, due to a complete lack of credible evidence, that there are gods. Because of this, I am unable to believe in any gods." Further, it is even more unlikely that if there were a god it would...

    Atheist here (Ask me anything)

    That's all I ever say: I don't know if there is a god or gods, but I have no compelling reason to believe there is/are, nor any desire to worship It/Him/Her/them. That's why I call myself an agnostic atheist.

    Atheist here (Ask me anything)

    It's in the same place as the evidence to prove there is a God, or gods. Do you need evidence to disprove the flying purple elephant over your head right now? I think not.

    Does 'Goddidit' constitute an explanation?

    No, I'm not sure that's your point. You spout scripture just as much as the next Christian in the discussion and then go on to say that the Bible isn't your source of guidance. Does that make sense to you? You all worship the same God too. Shouldn't your God have the power and/or the...
