  • 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

    Islamic Denominations

    I am not sure what the situation is in majority muslim countries with regards to denominations. Are there liberal, moderate and fundamentalist denominations in, say Iran or Pakistan? Is there religious tolerance by the fundamentalists for people who have more liberal views? I myself don't share...

    Is imposing on others wrong?

    Good manners. I don't like it when people get pushy about trying to get me to accept their opinions. I think it's a form of aggression. In any case, I feel comfortable talking to people about my opinions/beliefs and listening to theirs but in a way in which we are respectful of each other...

    When teenager apparal approaches pornographic

    I base that on my life experience. Ive mentioned the reasons for my position. I don't have any sources on it, and I would be highly skeptical of sources relating to this issue. Take my view on it as simply an opinion. I think that is the best any of us can do on the matter. To me that is...

    When teenager apparal approaches pornographic

    The source you noted didn't have anything on how people viewed naked people. I am aware of that society where woman that have long necks are more attractive, and as unusual as that seems to me I can accept it (as long as there would be no health complications due to the really long necks, but I...

    When teenager apparal approaches pornographic

    Not too bad actually ;) - and yours? Beyond me and you having an opinion, I don't think either of us has any evidence to support our positions - but perhaps you do, I dunno. I would be skeptical about any evidence though on this matter - because I think that unless your a telepath it would be...

    When teenager apparal approaches pornographic

    I would think that a person who isn't used to seeing naked people is very susceptible to lust. That is probabaly quite often the case when foreigners or people from more modest cities go to those cities in France and see naked people walking around the city. I think even people that live there...

    When teenager apparal approaches pornographic

    I tend to think that seeing a naked person can certainly inspire lust, no matter what the culture. There are cultures in the world where everyone is almost naked or totally naked, and I think that lust in such cultures is more prevalent than in a society that dresses modestly. I don't know...

    When teenager apparal approaches pornographic

    I don't have a problem with seeing women breast-feeding. I do have a problem with provocative clothing and would like to see people dressed modestly. What I said was specifically in light of the situation in some cities in france where people walk around naked in public. I think that's a serious...

    Christian Morality

    I stated my opinion on a matter and my opinion hasn't changed - I think that most atheists have low morals. I said that in post #4 and in the same post I listed a number of reasons as to why that is. We have already cleared up the context that I used when I said "generally, not always, atheists...

    Christian Morality

    The only issue we discussed is fornication and as far as Im concerned I proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that it is immoral, whether or not you agree. No. That is ridiculous. The term most does not mean all. Most is a self-explanatory term, Im not going to bother explaining it. What makes...

    Christian Morality

    I know you don't like the term "low sense of morality" but you place a different meaning on it than I do. Perhaps "generally, atheists have low morals?" would be less confusing? I made it a point to say "generally, not always,...". I did not lump every atheist into my statement - some atheists...

    What's so great about Christianity?

    Eternal hell is a lie. Its written in revelations that hell will be destroyed, so don't worry about that - no one is going to be burning in fire for eternity. That concept makes me sick :sick: God bless ya!

    When teenager apparal approaches pornographic

    That's too bad. It doesnt take a genius to figure out that seeing naked people inspires lust. I'm very disappointed in how the situation is playing itself out in some parts of the world. I think it's a shame. God bless ya!

    Christian Morality

    I very much don't think we are on the same page with what I mean by a low sense of morality. I am not precisely sure what you mean, to be honest. I do not mean that most atheists have a lack of consideration or respect for morality. What I mean is that their positions on a wide variety of moral...
