  • 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.

    Riqfa Bary lying or saying the truth?

    I've read a few things here and there, watched a few vids, and am also of the opinion that things are not exactly as she is telling them. At this point we can only speculate as to why, but as you pointed out there are just way too many inconsistencies in her version of events.

    Reductio ad Hitlerum and Godwins law

    I will quote myself to end this quoting debacle: Fetuses are only terminated up to a certain point. Most fetuses are terminated while they are still only in cellular form. I can certainly tell the difference between a group of cells with human DNA and a human. And you've just committed another...

    Reductio ad Hitlerum and Godwins law

    Erm...'termination of life' was put on quote marks because I am actually quoting the phrase used in the original thread. Also in regards to it's application there are many different 'terminations of life'. For example, euthenasia, abortion suicide and murder can all be considered 'termination...

    Reductio ad Hitlerum and Godwins law

    It's not about whether a person objects, but whether the actual comparison is valid. For example: Hitler/Nazi Germany to Pol pots Cambodia: Both included genocide, a charismatic leader, facism, torture, work camps, etc. VALID COMPARISON. Nazi Germany to abortion; both are gov sanctioned...

    Reductio ad Hitlerum and Godwins law

    The point is that if you are going to make an argument, make it without resorting to guilt by association arguments. If one wanted to talk about another gov. sanctioned 'termination of life' then talk about something like the death penalty. To resort straight away to the comparisons with nazi...

    Reductio ad Hitlerum and Godwins law

    Alright, I'm not exactly a professor in this sort of stuff so step in if you'd like to make a correction or whatever. I've just done some of it word for word for wikipedia to make it easier. What is Reductio ad Hitlerum? The actual term is dog latin for "reduction to Hitler". In a nutshell it...

    We Cant Talk About Abortion

    Actually, I think I'll post a new thread about it. Should make for good discussion anyways. Will do it tomorrow. Oh and as I said ("I respect that you may not agree with abortion. I DO NOT respect it being compared to those who died during the years of nazi germany.") I do respect you views...

    We Cant Talk About Abortion

    I may disagree with your views on abortion but am not offended by them. Perhaps if people thought a little harder before making such a comparison there would be no offense at all. The 'termination of life' allowed in abortion is entirely different to that committed by nazi germany, and therefore...

    We Cant Talk About Abortion

    Side note; seems we have another example of why we can't talk about abortion. Sigh.

    We Cant Talk About Abortion

    ...... I said nothing about abortion. Where did I say in this thread whether I was for or against? Just don't compare it to nazi germany. I can't believe you'd be arrogant enough to try and flip that around. Do not try and say I'm using the terrible deaths of my family members for my own...

    What's intrinsically wrong with "worldly desires"?

    Because when we forsake our 'worldly desires' all we really have left as an outlet is the church (or temple, etc etc) If we come to have the church as such a huge part of our lives then we'll think nothing of say, spreading the gospel, or leaving them a chunk of our inheritance. Money is just a...

    Hey Atheists ... Get Your Own Moral Code

    Blooming heck.... Christians! Stop claiming codes of morality that were in existence long before your religion! Get your own moral code!

    Performance enhancing supplements and drugs

    Yes it was unethical. More that the culture that existed in the sport was unethical, and he got dragged in by peer pressure. We certainly shouldn't put all the blame on him. If a drug such as steroids gives an athlete an un-natural advantage over their opponent then that's cheating, which is...

    Pedophilia and Teaching.

    Very interesting question. If the person in question has absolutely no history whatsoever of engaging in any sort of sexual behaviour with kiddies (including porn, both real and animated) then I can't see why they should loose their job. As previously stated, pedophilia is not an orientation...
