  • 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.

    Christians using derogatory terms for homosexuals. Is it acceptable?

    He did, anecdotal evidence is not valuable to explain how things work for everybody. Being gay has nothing to do with free will, and 'curing' is just suppression of feelings. If I would go about pretending to be straight after being brainwashed by crazy Christians in a camp, I would be deeply...

    Christians using derogatory terms for homosexuals. Is it acceptable?

    What a classic nasty, grumpy fundamentalistic-religious-person statement. Depending on your definition of abnormal, you are also wrong. In the animal kingdom, we see many animals that show homosexual behavior, so it is not definitely not something that is only shown in the human race. If you...

    The Earth is Flat, and you will prove it.

    Except, what I am saying is not my opinion, it is the truth and that's what I care about. I don't care if the earth is flat, round or a hexagon for that matter, and the truth does certainly not care what I like or care about. I just say it's round, because it is round.

    Christians using derogatory terms for homosexuals. Is it acceptable?

    Wow, I'm sure you have many sources to back up your claims.

    Christians using derogatory terms for homosexuals. Is it acceptable?

    What people should say to their children, is that there are people who are attracted to the same sex. And that mum and dad think it is no problem, and that mammy and daddy will love you, and that you can tell us anything if you feel to. And then the child can discover itself, knowing it won't...

    Christians using derogatory terms for homosexuals. Is it acceptable?

    Oh I totally agree with that. I am gay myself, and I think I would be able to say that most people don't notice immediately. I have many friends who range from kinda the same as me, to very feminine (and I love them all, they are amazing), and I have often wondered why I never felt the urge to...

    Christians using derogatory terms for homosexuals. Is it acceptable?

    Just out of curiosity, can I ask where you live in the Netherlands? I have been to many places, even in the Bible Belt, (Hardinxveld-Giessendam and the like), but I have never come across anyone who is a YEC. Also why do you think atheism is a believe system? It is basically not-believing...

    Christians using derogatory terms for homosexuals. Is it acceptable?

    All very true. Gay pride is a way of letting your voice be heard, something like a demonstration (well in some countries, I know in the Netherlands it is mainly a big party week, with police, politicians, everybody joining :D). You guys should go to Amsterdam when that's happening, it will open...

    The Earth is Flat, and you will prove it.

    So you are saying, the earth is flat for any daily purpose, but it is actually a ball on a a larger scale? Well then you are right :)

    Christians using derogatory terms for homosexuals. Is it acceptable?

    I know this. But if all Christians would know this, we would either still be excluding divorced people AND homosexuals, or we would have decided that both are normal in today's society, and that the bible is old and could not have foreseen that. Instead, Christians pick and choose, agreeing...

    Why is homosexuality wrong if it's not long term?

    Those claims only have meaning if you support them with evidence. In what why do they get damaged? What do you mean with soul? You might have experienced it, or think like that. But is certainly not the case for 'all people' (and I can speak out of experience ;D)

    Christians using derogatory terms for homosexuals. Is it acceptable?

    Again, a very good example of how 'loving' your God and his followers are who think this. Come on guys, it's picking and choosing all the time! If you can stand people that get divorced because society came to understand that such a thing is sometimes necessary, then you should tread homosexuals...

    Christians using derogatory terms for homosexuals. Is it acceptable?

    Right they advocate equality for everyone. Why be against that? This is from their website: We accomplish our goals by working in hallways across the country -- from Congress and the Department of Education to schools and district offices in your community -- to improve school climate and...

    Why is homosexuality wrong if it's not long term?

    Homosexuals can be just as loving as heterosexuals, to either each other, other people, the community, or the children they raise like their own when heterosexuals cannot take care of them. No matter what scripture litirally says, if God is really loving, he should have no issue with this...
