  • 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.

    The Ten Commandments or the ten amendments?

    I wish I could find the link (I'm sure it would turn up if I had the energy to google for 5 minutes), but I remember a while back WorldNetDaily published an article called "Declaration of Independence Banned From Schools!". The article tried to say that a school prohibited a teacher from...

    I have a (pro-life) dream

    And in Christian Utopia, everyone is happy, gets along, no one's rights are ever marginalized at the expense of the group in power, and no one is ever publically executed: Come on, Voegelin, you know better. Atheists and materialists despise Pol Pot tremendously, because he is a tyrant who...

    Evolutionists saying categorically wrong things

    To be fair, I once found a guy who was claiming that Bigfoot is evidence of evolution, but those categorically wrong statements are just once in a blue moon. However, they're nothing compared to "APES DON'T SHAVE!" and "HOW CAN BULLS MATE WITH OTHER BULLS! ITS YOUR FUNERAL EVOLUTIONISTS!".

    Perversion

    Are you trying to say that gender roles tell us anything morally? No, I'm saying that no one has ever defined the word "perversion", it doesnt mean anything. People use the word as a way of dismissing behaviors as morally without ever explaining their moral relevance.

    Perversion

    You know, when people talk about sexual morality, the word "perversion" comes up almost 100% of the time. I'm sure you all know what I'm talking about: The word "perversion" is a pretty nasty word, isn't it? Apparently, it has moral implications such that something being a perversion makes it...

    Some People Have No Idea What They're Saying

    What irony? That works too, I completely agree.

    Some People Have No Idea What They're Saying

    I want to add another "DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT YOU'RE SAYING" moment to the list, and this comes up a lot: Verse (such and such) says atheists are liars and fools, and they are rebels and (insert long list of other attributes that describe atheist's evil intentions). I don't know how many...

    Some People Have No Idea What They're Saying

    Self-referential paradoxes are often the least interesting, they usually result through quirks in our language rather than indicating some forsight in thinking. "There are no absolutes", "This sentence is false", "I am lying now", and so on. Go derail someone else's thread.

    Evolutionary thinking and God's thinking.

    Let's do ourselves all a favor and stop responding JohnR7's posts.

    Some People Have No Idea What They're Saying

    Its only natural that some people form opinions on ethical questions, such as on the permissibility of abortion or gay marriage, but too often I see some people who say things that are just bizarre, as if they weren't actually reading the words they were typing. Here's one example of just...

    Mr. President, I'm Headed To Mexico

    I suppose then you wouldn't have a problem with immigration if we didn't go out of way to make accomodations for them, and required them to pay taxes like everyone else, right? Thats probably the most reasonable solution and it enjoys bipartisan support, and its certainly a superior option to...

    What do Republicans stand for again?

    There used to be a time when the Republican party was all about personal responsibility but now their major party platform is strongly based on legislating moral standards, especially in the bedroom. And they used to embody conservative values like slow, controlled change, but they've become...

    Do you value life?

    People kill plants, animals, and microbes all the time, and don't really think about it. But they don't take human life with such ease, which clearly implies that something having the property of "life" is irrelevant otherwise there would be no way to make moral distinctions between taking plant...

    Abortion -- I'M SICK OF IT!!!

    Its not even really that, but rather it has to do with the moral status of the fetus. Abortion comes down to the question "on what basis is the fetus so morally valuable that its life should be protected". Its pretty clear that abortion does not come down to the definition of life (or death...

    Choice and discrimination

    The "homosexuality is a choice" argument is just a red herring, because whether its a choice or not does not explain why homosexuality should be condemned. The reason why people state so forcefully that homosexuality is a choice is to paint homosexuals as people as wantonly immoral people...
