  • 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.

    Question ????

    You have the right to the legal protections and benefits that the government hands out with marriage certificates. You have the right to bond in a formal, recognized ceremony to your partner.

    Question ????

    Ok, seniors not giving back was a really bad example. However, let me turn it around - Were you in charge, big boss, head kahuna, would you legislate based on your morals? And before you answer now, how about this: Morality is too firmly embedded in individuals to be separated- Were I to take...

    Question ????

    How is protecting some part of society (not allowing the rape of children, lest we forget in our haste to redefine) not a moral issue? Please, define morality! Is it WRONG to molest a child? If we're going for the greater good of society, why is it that we don't simply eliminate all retired...

    Question ????

    Will somebody please define morality for me, and how someone can possess it? Seems to me the issue is moot until we're all talking about the same vague abstraction, rather than several different vague abstractions. In all seriousness, laws that legislate morality are emphatically neccesary! The...

    Atheistic Morality

    The difference between doing something just/right/moral with God and doing something just/right/moral without God is that when you believe there is a God, you are commiting those acts for selfish reasons: God will "get" you if you do bad, or save you if you do good. When you have no supreme...

    Atheistic Morality

    1.) You have a point, it is rather hard. That could be because it's late here, and I can't focus. Or it could be because America has always been a Protestant nation, and as such, all of its heroes, all the moral people that have developed this land of the free were Christians. (Meaning, of...

    Atheistic Morality

    2.) See, here's where we come to my argument: I agree that a "good" person (get to that def. in a sec) should not be a complete pacifist; that there are moral dilemmas that are not so simple as Thou Shall Not Kill - but Christians are bound by that Commandment. Oh, and it might seem like I'm...

    Atheistic Morality

    1.) Good retort, at least in the sense that I can't really respond without accepting your premise: A belief in an eternal life. Moving on... 2.) Christianity and an attempt to save lives, and by extension souls, are supposed to be synonyms. Calling someone who doesn't support our troops and...

    Atheistic Morality

    1.) Really, you do have to tell me why it's super dooper important... 2.) I do find people who profess to be followers of Christ and then "support our troops" to be a tad bit hypocritical, yes, so I'm sorry if the remark appeared underhanded. It was supposed to smack you in the face. 3.) Godly...

    Atheistic Morality

    I think Moonless' point is that he beleives in his religion for the religion itself - he lives to "eat", he doesn't "eat" to live. Which is fine, except for the fact that in this case, I don't think one must live solely to "eat". We can live for life itself.

    Atheistic Morality

    I am not aware of any verification at all of the teachings of Christ, please elaborate. (Are you referring to the bible? If so, that's another argument.)

    Atheistic Morality

    "I can swear there ain't no Heaven but I pray there ain't no hell Swear there ain't no Heaven and I'll pray there ain't no hell but I'll never know by livin' only my dyin' will tell" - Blood, Sweat, & Tears.

    Atheistic Morality

    I am rather concerned by the sheer number of Christians on these forums who seem to believe that a belief in Christ and the bible is necessary to lead a life grounded in morality. My proudly liberal, atheistic view is that there can be good, evil, right, and wrong without a religion, so to...
