• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

Can anything be done about pornography and it's many supporters ?

I understand that people doing things you do not morally agree with is stressful, no matter if them doing those things has any influence on your personal life, but I'm sure you'll manage. Chin up!

Yeah, I'll manage. And if I find the going gets too tough, I'll just get Louis. :sorry:

Beating that thesaurus awful hard to avoid addressing something you introduced to the thread.

Beating the thesaurus? .... I'll just take that as a cheap attempt at humor.

And actually, I introduced TWO things to the thread; and I expect both of them to have relevance to this thread at the same time (... I was going to say "concurrently," but I want to avoid using a big word for your sake ... )

Oh really? That's all that's driving it, ay? I think you know better than that. One doesn't have to read a little Ann Bartow to know this.
This may be a prime example of something I occasionally read on this site: ignoring the profit motive and over valuing the ideological motive behind the issue de jeur.

Did you intend to say "de jure"? ... and where RIGHTS are concerned, being the unconforming philosopher that I am, I have a different praxis about how to mesh out a social definition of it all. I don't just assume that what's given is either true or legitimate, unlike when I was 7 and not cognizant or discerning that things could be otherwise.

What is being inappropriately assumed. Your philosophical-fu is significantly more advanced than mine so I freely admit I may have missed something.

Do you mean Hannah Arendt?

No, I wasn't referring to Hannah, although she is notable. Rather, I was referring to Ann Bartow of Pace Law School.

The only thing I know about her is her exiting from her place of work even though she had tenure.

I’m not sure what that has to do with porn.

If you have a degree in psychology but still can't do a simple interdisciplinary google search or journal database search and see the relevance, then I think we're done here in this particular thread.

I'm sure other Christians here have their own perspectives to share ........ I wouldn't want to hog all of the screen time.

Porn and it's supporters are everywhere on the internet.
Even if it were eliminated, pornography will still be produced in the mind. God knows our thoughts.

I think the thing is like most things: everything in moderation. No one is forced to watch it.
Who’s forcing you to watch it?

Do these pro-pornography atheists have anything on-topic to add to the thread, or are they just going to continue to derail it?

What's there to add?

No, there's nothing that can be done about pornography. Learn to live with a world where porn exists.
