  • 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.

    Ex Christians, what has brought you into your new faith?

    Well, let me see... How many people have been called the antichrist in the last fifty years??? The fulfillment of a prophecy always depends on the interpretation (aka self-fulfilling prophecy). Btw this is going of topic, you should open a new one.

    Ex Christians, what has brought you into your new faith?

    Ah yes, the problem of hell, and accompaning it, the problem of evil. The unaswered question of freedom. I do not want to insult you, but the chains of death are unbrekable.

    Ex Christians, what has brought you into your new faith?

    I do feel quite misunderstood now. I wanted to say if you live you die, and death is universal=for everyone or to be philosophical: Every man dies but not every man truly lives...

    Ex Christians, what has brought you into your new faith?

    Fall...fall from grace...my fall As for me, I grew up as a holy roman catholic, until the day I started asking myself: "Why is there evil?" and over the years I started to percieve the holy mass and the church as empty words and rites, carried out for the people, while their creed was abused...

    As i looked into the newspaper today morning, i read: "Stoiber fordert Verbot von Killerspielen" translating as: "Stoiber demands ban of killer-games". Seems to me like Edmund Stoiber has finally found something to save his career. What worries me more is, that this leads to a domination of...

    What purpose does marriage serve?

    *nods* And perhaps also out the feeling, that it is "right", because the society does appreciate it as a whole, in the likeitornot christan tradition in the west.

    The chess club...? I don't know. Maybe the roleplayers they are better targets. [/irony] But still, it is the same discussion we had 60 years ago about rock'n roll for being "morally dangerous" and driving pleople to do stupid things.

    After reading this for quite some time, i have finally decided to join as I enjoy skillful debate about faith. In my eyes it is the "koenigsdisziplin" for it cares about the things beyond... Now enough wishes, something about me: I am an atheist in the sense of refusing the idea of the christian...
