  • 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

    Year-long wait for skull surgery

    I bet the US health care system of better IF you can afford it. If you cannot afford it, you are probably better off in Canada.

    Nine U.S. warships in Gulf for show of force

    I think it is ironic how some here want to use nukes to stop them from getting nukes. We are worried they will get nukes, so we nuke them. They are worried we will nuke them so they want to get nukes... Also, if Iran wants to destroy Israel, that's Israel's problem. Let Israel's military...

    US funds terror groups to sow chaos in Iran

    I can think of a reason why Iran might hate us. I'm thinking of a 1953 coup in which the CIA overthrew a legitimate government to ensure control of Iran's oil fields, and installed a brutal dictator.

    Contradictions in the bible making me question my faith

    The Bible has contradictions, that much is clear. A workaround that would be to say that man made human errors when writing it down. However, that is not my reason for posting. I mainly wanted to demonstrate that many of the responses were shameful in their reasoning. Yes, if the Bible was...

    Why did God allow Hitler to do such terrible things?

    1. Please support your opinions with evidence. 2. Hitler and Stalin are only two examples of a broader theme we are discussing.

    Why did God allow Hitler to do such terrible things?

    Yes, Hitler's crime was much worse. The fact that you would even compare genocide to prostitution or lying is absurd. [/FONT]

    Will there be time in heaven?

    How do we experience things without the duration of time? How can we communicate without time (assuming we can communicate with others in heaven)? It seems time must exist for an event to take place. Without time, there can be no events. That's not how I understand eternity. I understand...

    Why did God allow Hitler to do such terrible things?

    If this were true, I think the next natural question to ask is: Is such a God worth worshiping? And if so, why? Also, your idea is inconsistent with free will. Because then Hitler cannot be responsible, as God "raised him up TO DO what he did"

    Why did God allow Hitler to do such terrible things?

    I never liked this justification: it is part of his plan. That is not satisfactory. For are you to say then, it is part of his plan that children starve to death before they are 1 years old? What purpose does that serve at all except unnecessary anguish? Is it part of his plan that abortion...

    Why did God allow Hitler to do such terrible things?

    Dear ToucanSam, The answer to me is obvious. God defined a system that obeys rules (or laws for the antiquated). Then he "wound" up this system and let it go. Based on the biological and physical laws of his system, Hitler came to be. God didn't kill Hitler right away because he didn't want...

    Israels largest illegal construction project in West Bank "legalized"

    This sort of reminds me of when the US booted the native Americans off their land. Sad but true, those with the bigger guns will conquer.

    Soldier Under Fire For Controversial Decal.

    Of course, who is to say when war is really just? Just because he *thinks* it is just, does not mean God thinks it is just. Right, that is why we didn't get UN support after Powell's presentation of "evidence." Nonsense, his army was destroyed in 91, and UN sanctions and routine bombings...

    Let G = {g : g is a god} denote the set of all gods. Proposition: Suppose G is not the empty set. If g1 and g2 are in G, then g1 = g2. How to prove it?
