  • 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.

    Would you sacrifice your soul for everyones soul?

    I wonder if anyone could be selfless enough to send their own soul to eternal hell if it meant freeing all trapped souls and all future souls go to heaven. Maybe not all of those souls deserve to be in heaven, but it would save and prevent an unfathomable amount of souls suffering in hell at a...

    My road to unbelief

    This is the same road I went down OP, I was a believer when I was very young, as I got older I had more and more questions. Instead of turning to fallacies within the bible for truth, I went to science and history. It seems science has no evidence for physical events in the bible (great...

    Ultimate Conflict for a Mother

    Make sure shes is constantly having medical tests done to know the state of her kidneys. If they start to deteriorate then she must follow the advice of a good doctor. It would be foolish to continue the pregnancy on faith alone, so I pray she receives good medical attention.

    intelligent discussion

    One of the best answers to your questions will only re-affirm your agnosticism. Nature is cruel, but through the cruelty something beautiful emerges, evolution. Yes disease and deformity are cruel, but are they not a strong driving force behind human ingenuity? As for god killing Job's...

    Using pascals wager and christianity to kill babies

    This statement really hit home for me. I used to be a believing Christian when I was young. My faith started to waver in high school and finally in college I realized what I saw as 'the truth'. One one philosophy class I heard the professor read "Religion is a fairy tale conceived to make...

    Using pascals wager and christianity to kill babies

    So what your saying is, now Christianity involves reincarnation, because that is the only acceptable remedy for this situation? The baby going to hell is not fair, for obvious reasons (which I have already gone over). Now the baby going to heaven is not fair, because god won't allow himself to...

    Using pascals wager and christianity to kill babies

    Ok, well maybe baptism doesn't allow a baby to go to heaven after death, however my point still stands that it is unjust to send a baby to hell after death.

    Using pascals wager and christianity to kill babies

    Try telling a grieving mother that her dead baby is in hell because she was too slow to baptize it. This is just not fair and I would expect better from god. This is why dead babies going to hell is ridiculous, not simply because I said so. Try again. Blow up the whole world you say? Actually...

    Using pascals wager and christianity to kill babies

    Well if babies do not go to heaven then they go to hell. Either scenario is equally ridiculous. Try telling a grieving mother that her dead baby is in hell because she was too slow to baptize it. This is just not fair and I would expect better from god. Because of this, we can assume babies...

    Using pascals wager and christianity to kill babies

    So by killing a baby I am taking away its purpose, which is to be tested and learn about god. The result is the baby goes to heaven and experiences eternal happiness. The baby will also learn all about god when it gets to heaven, so that is not an issue. All I am taking away from the baby...

    Using pascals wager and christianity to kill babies

    Lets not derail my thread now, please try to discuss the issue I have presented. Highwayman your post doesn't really make enough sense. In point 2 you say god alone decides who lives and dies, and then you say if you kill babies you interrupt his plan. This point conflicts with itself. I am...

    Using pascals wager and christianity to kill babies

    Pascal's wager is a philosophic reason for believing in god. It states your expected value is greater if you believe than if you do not. If you believe and you are correct, you are rewarded with infinity in heaven. If you believe and are incorrect, you are not punished. If you do not believe...
