  • 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

    Satanism?

    I once went to a Satanic website when i was trying to see how different or similar all the religions were. It seems that overall, Satanists seemed to fist in several overly broad aspects. One aspect was that it is anti-Christians. Some disliked what Christianity preaches or what has been done...

    Christianity in a nutshell

    I tend to see it like dewaddict84 does. There is a basic idea that Jesus is the son of God who died and was resurrected. After that, it varies widely. I think t is very easy in Christianity to pick your morals first and then pick your denomination based on your morals.

    christopher Hitchens the atheist messiah.

    Imagine how it would sound if this were turned around. Just replace "Christopher Hitchens" with "Pat Robertson" and "atheists" with "Christians."

    Trinity: Contadiction or Not?

    There are many possibilities. In quantum physics, we can have events that influence each other, but their order in time makes no difference (quantum entanglement). So it can range from anywhere from "the Big Bang is caused by some event within the universe (like a Big Crunch)" or "The Big Bang...

    christopher Hitchens the atheist messiah.

    There are a lot of atheists who agree with his anti-theism, but do not like the guy that much for his other views. For example, he was a big supporter of the Iraq War. I don't think he is a messiah or savior any more than Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, PZ Myers, etc. are. Atheism gains are a...

    The Trinity and the Principle of Contradiction

    It seems that "is" and "is not" are not used logically very well here. Maybe it should be more like The Son is a member of God; The Father is a member of God; and Holy Spirit is a member of God. One of the interesting "theories" of this is that it should be a Quartet with Satan being the 4th...

    Unexpected guests

    I use to have some JWs who would show up regularly. I find it fun to discuss religion. Sometimes it was inconvient, but most times, I would chat for a bit with them. One day they showed up and my wife was doing some housework. She had found some devil horns from the Halloween party and stuck...

    Atheist here (Ask me anything)

    I would be careful with that type of thinking. I know people who wanted to be faith healed. If they were not, they blamed themselves. You have shown more faith than many other people I have talked to, so I hope you don't feel the fault is yours.

    The Trinity and the Principle of Contradiction

    It sounds equivalent to multiple personalities.

    What if: Duped by Religion

    I think it puts a strain on the relationship. I had a girlfriend back in college who skirted between agnostic and Christianity. We talked about the effects of her belief on our relationship. I told her it was ok for her to believe anything as long as she did not try to force me to and she did...

    Atheist here (Ask me anything)

    If God communicated through prayer, then you could easily prove He exists. For example, one person picks a random number, writed it down and seals it. You pray to God to give you the number. This could be done scientifically and prove God exists. As it is, we have billions of people praying to...

    The God Delusion

    I think more evidence is needed for the wilder the claim and the more impact it will have on my life. I think God falls into both categories of being a wild claim which also has a big impact on someone's life (maybe the Deist God doesn't have much of an impact on a person's life).

    The God Delusion

    I read the book awhile back and liked it. I had heard most of the stuff before. I thought Dawkins did a good job of bringing it all together. There were a few things that stood out to me even today. The first was the story about the Christian babysitter (or was it a nanny?) who baptised a...

    Lack of Proof

    At that point inmy life, I had been baptised and believed that Jesus was my savior. I was just starting to have doubts. So if I got the lottery numbers, I would have stayed a believer. But knowing myself, I would have attemoted to find out which version of God was the right one. Was He the...

    Lack of Proof

    Why not trust in Zeus's way? Or in Odin's way? Or Ba'al's way? Or in the way of Mother Nature? It seems very arbitrary to pick omne of the gods and live you life as just that one (or set) is real without anything else helping you make a decision. I remembeer hearing sermons on hell. The...
