  • 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.

    Why Islam is not for me

    I feel that Islam would repress my ability to think outside the Islam-box. That or die. I also feel suffocated by the constant reassurance that 'Islam is a religion of peace', whereas we all know that it is not.

    convert me

    I posted because I have the right to post. And I will exercise that right in any thread which I am by rules, allowed to do so. I also wanted to point out that this is rather a counterproductive threat and topic, seeing how your mind is already made up, as a Mormon. People who already have...

    Let's Have a Peaceful Debate About Islam

    I don't really buy the ''verse taken out of context'', as I cannot imagine in what circumstances one would call Christians or Jews pigs and monkeys?

    convert me

    It is not my place to convert you. The whole idea should be that you find what you yourself, find true, not through my sugar-coated religious speech of how my religion is right, and everyone else is wrong.

    Merry Christmas for Non-Christians

    It is strange, but it bothers me somewhat when peopleuse ''Happy Holidays'' instead of Marry Christmans. If someone wished me marry Christmans, happy Chanukah or happy Diwali, I would welcome the good thought! But people are different.

    Does Islam spreaded out by Sword ??

    I believe you are mistaken. Far east, ie Persia was concured by Islam, through Arab conquest. Turk's Ottoman Empire spread into Europe / West, and Arab conquest into East. Here is a wiki explanation - I am not sure where did you get the information about Ilsam spreading through trade. It...

    Does Islam spreaded out by Sword ??

    Islam is not spread by the sword? Im sorry but every single historical evidence points to otherwise. Islam has NEVER, in its history, been spread by book or by pen. Hundred million Hindus were slaughtered by the Muslim invaders, the many forced conversions of people in Ancient Persia, and...

    Buddhist GF

    With all due respect, what you said to your girlriend was exreamly tasteless and rude. How can you possibly tell her she will burn in Hell, since you ourself do not know this for sure, and you most certainly cannot call it a ''truth''. Truth is a pathless land, and there are more than one way...

    Who is God?

    Hello. I will try and answer some questions regarding this. Since we do not know anything for sure, the explanation given will be out of my own personal, non religious based ideas. I don't believe ''God'' can a he or a she. If there is such a thing as a our creator, generally speaking, that...

    For my fellow Atheists...

    I guess I would fall into an Athiest, if such means lack of belief in a sole creator, or a God. I have not managed to convert anyone, nor have I tried. I enjoy religious discussion, and as far as personal belief goes, I believe everyone should believe what they feel in their heart is best. I...

    To Muslims: Australia's top Muslim cleric blames women for inciting sexual assault

    The sheik's comments are very sexist and furthermore, he has absolutely no understanding of concept of rape whatsoever. It is shocking that there are people out there who think like such. People with some kind of inflience is even scarier. So basically what you are saying is that men cannot...

    Drinking is bad?

    No, drinking is not bad - but of course in moderation. And what I mean by that is, that if you felt the need to be drunk every day, then you might consider stopping. You are a student, I was a student and for pretty much all of my degree, fun was comencing :D But of course it didn't interfear...

    What are your favourite religious quotes?

    ''Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers...

    Am I correct about this point in Islam?

    But doesn't acting in a violent matter, and threatening attitude just confirm what Pope said? Calling for a death of Pope, and such doesn't really shed light on the missinformation of him, but it rather confirms it.

    God, Earth and Universe...

    What makes YOU the best of the beings? Do you know all other beings in the Universe? Can you deny their existance? we do not know other beings in the Universe - but that is too bold of a statement. You are on one a very very small planet in a solar system which is nothing but a dot in the...
