• 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Do atheists constantly change the goalposts?

That's the same thing but in reverse. Its still requiring rational and naturalistic explanations.
No, I asked for an irrational or supernatural explanation.

No one needs a "worldview" to know that natural things do happen. They are readily and repeatedly demonstrated.
Yes but we are talking about a belief in what nature represents. Not that it does not happen. How it came to happen.

Yes thats right. Because an irrational or supernatural explanation will not do. Does not fall within that worldview belief.

Its not a case that you have a choice to ask or not to ask for such explanations. Its that you can't because its not part of the paradigm worldview belief.

The belief that the supernatural is unevidenced and therefore unreal.
