  • 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.

    War in Georgia

    What is everyone thinking about the current war in Georgia? Is Georgia justified in attacking the 2 provinces which broke away into autonomous regions in the early 1990's? Is the Russian response appropriate? Is the international community correct in its condemnation of the Russian offensive? Is...

    antahystamine or decongestant

    If you're having problems with allergies then you should take an antihistamine like claritin or reactine. If you're still stuffed up after taking an antihistamine then you can throw in a decongestant into the mix. If you are allergy free then you don't need an antihistamine. A decongestant on...

    If my fathers sperm had fertilized your mothers egg...

    I don't think our "souls" are independant of our biology. For instance, I can clear my mind of all thoughts but if my eyes are still open I can still see the world around me. My existence seems to have very little, if anything, to do with my memories/thoughts/personality. These seem to be only...

    If my fathers sperm had fertilized your mothers egg...

    I thought of this idea just now and it is boggling my mind lol. Say that my fathers sperm, instead of having fertilized my mothers egg, had fertilized your mothers egg. Would I still be me? Would you still be you? Would the human being that was created have your consciousness as well as mine...

    Is Happiness the ultimate state of being?

    Thanks. Both objective and subjective happiness are important to complete happiness. So, I think complete happiness is the ultimate state of existence. This is what I meant when using the word happiness in the OP.

    Is Happiness the ultimate state of being?

    I mean enjoying life, feeling good and having a big :) on your face kinda happiness. Ultimately, I would like the end of the road to lead to a society where everyone feels good and is enjoying life 24/7.

    Is Happiness the ultimate state of being?

    I think happiness is not only not without substance, but is instead made of the best substance. I enjoy my life greatest when I am happy, so whatever substance makes up happiness, I want more of it! :cool: I think we have all experienced prolonged periods of joy and it is as real as anything...

    Is Happiness the ultimate state of being?

    One can't feel joy, or feel or know anything for that matter, if one doesn't exist. What I want to know is whether or not you think being happy is the best state of existence possible.

    Is Happiness the ultimate state of being?

    I believe it is. I think many Christians will also agree. The idea of heaven is basically about enjoying life and being perfectly happy. Heaven also seems to be the end of the road, so it must be the ultimate state of being according to the bible. If you don't think happiness is the ultmate...

    Perhaps omnipotence is an attribute God doesn't possess :cool:

    Is our God in jail?

    I don't see why evil is necessary for love to exist. Personally, I would much prefer a world where there was zero evil and plenty of love. Forget evil. Evil sucks.
