  • 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.

    Exclusive claims

    Some people twist scripture by quoting out of context - chapter and verse numbers in the Bible have done more harm than good when you think about.. All this shows is that peoples interpretation of a text - scripture in this case, are fallible. Christians hold the view that the Bible is...

    Christianity: just a joke?

    Why is the Bible biased? What evidence could you present to me to justify this? "Good enough" is purely subjective. What does "good enough" mean in objective terms? Sorry, I don't understand this comment. Please explain. So given that we sort of agree on this, then you can...

    Christianity: just a joke?

    In a qualitative sense, yes I would. This is where I think your argument falls down. Rather than demanding whatever evidence is required to prove something beyond reasonable doubt, it appears that the demands for evidence go over and above what is actually needed to establish something...

    Christianity: just a joke?

    Same flawed argument that Gadarene has used as mentioned in my post earlier in this thread. How is it a double standard? The post you are referring to simply stated that the known evidence for Christianity exists. You can either reject it and leave a complete gap in the historical record...

    I've mentioned in alleged contradictions in my previous post, and given an example. Point dismissed regardless because you have failed to provide any examples of such contradictions you keep referring to. Right, so just leave gap in the historical record then? Does it not occur to you that...

    No it doesn't! Here's an example: I went on a holiday 10 years ago to France with my friends. On the penultimate day of our holiday we all went to Toulouse and spent the day there. Now if we were all to sit down tomorrow and write down our own accounts of what we did on the penultimate day of...

    Just to change the emphasis of this thread, I was thinking about what it would take for me to loose my Christian faith... In simple terms, I would have to be completely convinced that The Biblical accounts of Jesus were completely fraudulent. I know some would argue that is already the...

    Do you want to think about removing this from your post? I'm happy to discuss things with you, but please don't resort to personal accusations. If I've written something that you take exception to, then let me know & explain why and I'll edit it out. Remember, I was referring to atheists in...

    A bit of patience please! "Would you believe in the claim of the resurrection from death of an Allied soldier during the D-Day landing - when the claim was made by contradictory, third-hand accounts dating at best to 1984 at the earliest? If the answer to the above is "no", then you have...
