  • 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.

    James - First and foremost: demonized people happen to be fragile. Mentally ill people happen to be fragile. Mentally ill people who think themselves demonized happen to be fragile. And Bob Larson and those who operate in his style happen to be horribly abrasive and psychologically...

    Answering "logical" statements of ridicule

    I find much wisdom in this post quoted above. And I hasten to add that nowhere in my posts was I trying to suggest we persist in `pushing religion` on people who clearly do not want it (as it has occurred to me my comments could be misunderstood that way, I wanted to clarify that matter). OK...

    Answering "logical" statements of ridicule

    Just because others misuse terms for their own convenience to fling about does not mean EITHER: (a) those terms no longer have any accurate or proper uses; OR (b) my use in particular was `impolite` and neither accurate nor proper. In fact if you want to be technical, people cry foul (or...

    Answering "logical" statements of ridicule

    Nobody here has said this either. Try to avoid straw men and red herrings in the future. It makes meaningful conversation difficult when people introduce those types of derailment, and it constitutes baiting, which is downright impolite.

    Cool. Dude, I am so repping you for that. :thumbsup:

    Answering "logical" statements of ridicule

    I am personally not impressed with any of these attitudes. I think the first thing we need to do with so-called `mockers` (nice dismissive category to shove anyone in who disagrees or expresses cynicism or doubt, eh?) is to love them. Next we understand what is going on in their hearts, minds...

    The problem with spiritual pride

    The more people take perfectly good, right, and true principles and say, `where do you find this in the BIBLE?` -- the more I start to wonder (a) just what the Bible really DOES teach, and (b) whether it does indeed teach what is right, because apparently these folks want to oppose things that...

    Is it wrong to go to CLUBS?

    Good point. I would have nothing against a wholesome club, like run by Christians or a Christian coffee house doing rave night or whatever. I was just thinking of typical clubs in the city.

    I am in hell - follow up and confused :(

    Dude, the definition of bondage is to be bound -- not to have fake paper wraps on your wrists you could pull apart any time. Human determination and effort are useless where freedom from bondage is concerned. The only power that can cut the chains is Christ. And that goes as much for being a...

    God's Will Is For All To Be Saved? Hogwash!!

    The will of God is that everyone be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth. Period. Never mind spinning this into doctrine, that is precisely what HIS WORD STATES. People only argue HIS WORD when they have a doctrinal agenda. People with no such agenda take His word for His word. God...
