  • 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.

    Epicurean Question

    I like this analogy, I am not saying that the solution is blame God and declare victory. Nor am I saying we shouldn't try to make the world better on our own. I am saying that based on what Christians have told me and what the bible says it's Gods fault things are the way they are.

    Epicurean Question

    Oh I see, so you are saying that God cannot perform paradoxes. Example : God cannot make a burrito so Hot that he cannot eat it. I see what you mean. So scripture isn't to be taken literally then it is just how people perceived Gods actions ? This is interesting to me. I am also a strange...

    He actually coerces us into accepting him on pain of eternal punishment. Is that really a choice ?

    Epicurean Question

    When you say single voice what do you mean by that ? When you say that accomplishing the greater good without evil is logically impossible are we agreed that God (if he is) is not all powerful ? Thank you for your thoughts on this <3

    Does that un-rape the victim ? Seeing all Hearing all and being all powerful could prevent it from happening but it happens anyway. Why is that ?

    Epicurean Question

    1. Couldn't God being all powerful accomplish that greater good without evil ? 2. The bible seems to disagree with Gods Power level. Jeremiah 32:17 The bible seems to disagree whether or not God created evil. Isaiah 45:7 Thanks for your thought <3

    Epicurean Question

    Mark 1, if you have nothing to compare something to how can you demonstrate contrast and define it in a meaningful way ? 2, That is my definition of evil. Pretending you know something I don't know about evil is not productive. 3, just because someone doesn't assume that book that was written...

    Epicurean Question

    Ok, I don't think I claimed my definition to be infallible. If I can imagine a better path with less human suffering what could God have done ? My point is that God is very unlikely as a hypothesis with this taken into account. Stating that God did it perfectly. The world seems pretty imperfect...
