  • 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.

    Is god willing to prevent evil but not able to?

    *passing torch off to evan if he so chooses* Power knocked out via storm for almost 4 days. Lost urge to debate meaninglessly. Have fun! Your god ruined lots of food for 5000 people :'(. Wasteful.

    bleh lost urge to debate... Power knocked out from tornadoesque windstorm for almost 4 days. Going to revitalize with some computer games. Been uber bored. Reading and card games only go so far.

    A question about Judas

    If that was suppose to be satirical at my expense I never claimed I have or even know first hand. But through out the bible it isn't described as a place where you're forced to lick a never ending lollipop for the rest of your afterlife. So just the theists aspect of allowing their god to be...

    Is god willing to prevent evil but not able to?

    Well probably because you're applying a supernatural entity smiting you for your own decisions when with out his smiting you would otherwise have gone on living. You didn't kill yourself by jumping off the bridge, you didn't electrocute yourself by sticking your fingers in. When you choose to...

    Hey... I had a reply I really did. But this dastardly forum system logged me off when I had it typed up and posted. And as a result I lost the whole post. So I apologize. It's 3:30am though and I am much to tired to rethink what it was I wrote and even more so to go about writing it. So tomorrow...

    Seeking atheist, but not seeking god

    I am most saddened. I had a reply of huge proportions but for some reason I was logged out while in the process of typing it and I'm now unable to recover what I wrote :| 3am. I don't feel like rewriting it. So I will lamely and with out shame post some quick remarks and then call it a night...

    Seeking atheist, but not seeking god

    Except that that number is 1/10th of the estimated deaths as a result of religion be it wars, witch hunts, inquisitions etc. Do the math. Find the heinous acts religion has done and add the numbers. Far more than 100 million. And from what I recall Stalin's act wasn't specifically tied to...

    Is god willing to prevent evil but not able to?

    So are you claiming god went to sodom and told them to stop? Or his followers. I don't recall it mentioning it when I read the passages. But supposing it's true. Why are all gay men and woman not being burnt alive as back then? Or was that gay especially gay? and needed to be dealt with...

    "why would god not protect the writing" Well to do so would violate free will. He'd be telling people to make sure it's right, and would probably threaten hell onto them if they don't. This violates free will. Did god himself write the book no. Does Satan have this same limitation of not...

    A question about Judas

    I don't think you fathom the cruelty and unjust punishment of hell. To say it's less painful than sins which cause no actual physical harm. I could murder a man tomorrow and not have the sin rip me apart. I could sleep with my neighbors wife and would actually feel satisfied for being able to...

    Is god willing to prevent evil but not able to?

    So your parents told you of said rules right? There was no bible, there was no 10 commandments when god did this. So it was his ignorance to not even tell the people what they were doing was wrong. Or was burning them alive and sending them to hell a way for him to tell them? Such a loving...

    Is god willing to prevent evil but not able to?

    Ah but you're using free will to swan dive off that cliff. They didn't use free will to become a human bbq. Or are you implying that them being gay is the reason god had to intervene and abruptly kill the whole village, which I think would be out of their free will, rather than wait for them to...

    Is god willing to prevent evil but not able to?

    So god judging people and smiting them where they stand is completely not inflicting with their free will? What are you on to make you think such. Would be like saying god is giving you free will but if you don't do what he wants he'll kill you. Where is the freedom to choose your path? "He can...

    Is god willing to prevent evil but not able to?

    So when the village of sodom wanted to sleep with those men, god was respecting man's dominion by torching them alive? So when (can't remember his name off the top of my head.. orne? ornan?) was choosing to [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse] onto the floor rather than impregnate his brothers wife, and was put to...

    Is god willing to prevent evil but not able to?

    "But you are dismissing the obvious. God uses evil to do His will. Is part of His plan, therefore, He doesn't have the conundrum of free will. He is not either willing nor unwilling to stop evil. When He will stop evil is prophesied in scripture. We, mankind, are perfectly capable of messing it...
