  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

    I agree. People would do anything if their existence is being threatened. Self-preservation is part of the core programing in human beings and other animals. On the other hand, people with no souls would be just like computers running on DOS alone and without a proper operating system (I don't...

    I don't mean to sound rude but...what does that have to do with the topic?

    "Living" Computers

    Good guess. Would you believe I'm only 22? Also I'm one of those guys who looks younger than they actually are. They still ask for my ID at the local liquor store (btw, alcohol is legal at 19 here in Toronto). My buddies actually find my youthfulness very this amusing. Just they wait till the...

    Sure, you may guess at my age. It's probably on my profile but the finer details are probably blank because I'm guilty of being too lazy to fill out the rest. Gosh, we really have strayed from the topic White Dove. I'd love to tell you what I can but maybe you could start a thread for...

    Yes, the waltz was wonderful...now to the tango!:D 20 years old huh? Dare I ask your age? (just joking:P) I notice its around that age that some people come to a sort of crossroads. I myself came face to face with mine when I was 21. I sought, I found, and it was an experience. What!?! No...

    I supose it would serve the simple purpose of creating and no creation would not cause people to stare at the heaven in awe. God never needed our adoration to begin with. I mean adoration is something nice to give to God but if you notice, all he has aksed for is a simple thank you for...

    Sorry for the late reply, I got really busy this week and had no time to indulge in my hobbies but I'm back...for now. Back to the issue... Interesting thought. Then could it not be said that a sentient software might be formed in an engineer's mind by God? The engineer could just be there to...

    Police arrest lesbians for 'torturing' boy, 5

    Well said KatAutumn! Your statement reminds me of certain sayings like "People who live in glass houses should never throw stones" ...then again, people who lived in glass houses would be fried by the heat before they can throw any stones. ^_^

    To Tissue and Interactic: Please calm down. As much as I am for a HEALTHY debate between religion and science, you've strayed from the issue at hand. Beware the sin of Pride! For now let's call it a draw but I would love to hear a continuation of your discussion on a more appropriate thread...

    This statement implies that God has stopped creating. Also, does this mean that for something to be created by God he himself has to come down from heaven and breath life into it? How does that make God the middle man exactly? I agree with that statement. However, could it not be said that...

    I agree with that statement but I wasn't talking about the here and now. There MAY come a time, sometime IN THE FUTURE, where this may be possible.

    Interesting... What if God, through someone else, did make a sentient computer. I mean he does work in mysterious ways and doesn't come down from Heaven to make babies. We do know of God acting through someone else so why can't the creation of sentient programing not also be an act of God? What...

    I'm curious as to what people think of the idea of intelligent machines... In today's world many things exist that were once thought of as the stuff of science fiction and there may be more to come. Take computers as an example, they have become progressively more complicated and andvanced...
