  • 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

    1) Any concept of a being or consciousness that has either created this planet and it's inhabitants or is directly involved with them. Also any being or consciousness that is all-powerful, all-knowing, or exists beyond the universe. 2) I don't know whether Atheism is really about enriching a...

    In England you hardly meet any girls my age who give religion any thought so I don't know whether you could classify them as anything in that regard. I'll assume you mean a practising Christian. Yes I would, it might be that irreconcilable differences on the topic cause the relationship to...

    Yes, to enjoy myself and make my way through to world. Hopefully I can also bring some sort of positive experience to other people's lives but I'm not the best judge of whether I achieve it.

    No need for you to worry that I think you're preaching. This feels like an exchange of ideas, not a sermon :).

    I've never really given much thought to how the universe came to be. I'm a fan of Big Bang theory but as I understand it BBT explains how the known universe came to exist, not reality itself. I haven't come across the Ontological argument before but it definitely makes more sense than the...

    I think that, although the reason compassion evolved is it's conducive to survival, it is not necessarily why we feel it (I'm struggling to put my thoughts into words so sorry if this means little sense). What I mean is that we don't necessarily feel compassion because it helps us survive. We...

    I'm not familiar with many philosophical arguments for the existence of God. Also me being an atheist means that I've not found any overly compelling. I have to say though the worst are the teleological argument and the cosmological argument. It must take a special kind of person to formulate...

    To be honest I've struggled a little bit with the number of various sections here. I am aware this is a Christian forum where I am the minority and rather than posting my views all over the place I would rather stick mostly to one section. This section seemed to be the best place to set up...

    To me there isn't much more than survival of the fittest. It all boils down to subjectivity in the end. What do you do that gives your life meaning. I think originally (if you go back far enough and by that I mean before humanity) we did. As we became increasingly social it became beneficial...

    As far as survival goes I meant for no reason other than the biological drive. I get the feeling that we define the word meaning in slightly different ways. When I say meaning I simple mean what we aim to do in life. I get the feeling you mean a bit more than that (sorry if I'm wrong here)...

    Erm, that's a good question. I think as far as an objective meaning goes there isn't much more than the survival of the human race. I think that each individual gives their life a subjective purpose that is particular to them. Maybe it's scientific advancement or helping the homeless, or...

    I'm an atheist (*shocked gasps, woman screams*) and as this is a Christian forum I've opened this thread so anyone who wishes to know more about my beliefs or why I hold them can quiz me to their hearts content. The only rules are; The may be a point where we have to agree to disagree...

    I'm liking this place already :). Hopefully I can find a little time in my schedule over the next few days to begin picking all your brains. And maybe even have my picked in return :D.

    Greetings

    Thank you for the welcomes. And no need to worry Rev, as long as good humoured debate and knowledge expansion class as good intentions I should be fine. On that note I'd just like to ask if there's any specific part of the forum that's geared towards atheistic/theistic debate? I wouldn't want...

    Greetings

    Hello all. I'm Orochi. First things first, I'm an atheist. I don't know many Christians who are happy to talk about their beliefs hence I have a lot of questions regarding people's stances on various issues and how faith has influenced them. That is why I'm here. I hope that in my time...
