  • 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

    The future of evolution?

    Indeed. Which is why I find traditional Christianity and concepts like transhumanism/singularities/etc. to be... challenging to reconcile. We might not really even be able to consider whatever comes next as "human". What we consider "humans" right now will probably no longer be the dominant...

    I don't follow. How does belief in a declassified, publicly known, well-documented program indicate what someone would believe about aliens? The existence of one does not imply the existence of the other in any rational way

    "Atheists get asked about this a lot, so I wanted to ask it from a different position." He's taking the idea that, as most Christians believe, Yahweh would judge someone for not believing in Him, and exposing the inconsistency with also saying Yahweh is loving by creating a hypothetical in...

    He is making a hypothetical, not a statement of belief. His profile says "atheist" so he clearly is not saying that. What he's saying is "if there is a god, and he/she/it were to judge you based on a lucky guess, would that be ethical?" You are saying "that's not what God is like". He is just...

    So you don't believe in a God who would judge non-believers. Perhaps I am reading OP's original post wrong, but he seems to very clearly be targeting his question to people who do believe in a god that would do this, since that's exactly what the god in his story does: Pascal's Wager

    OP's question was "Do you think <Shiva> would be morally correct to punish you <for not specifically believing in Shiva while you were alive>?" Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems your answer is a simple "yes". Whether or not this is the case is aside from OP's point; again, OP was just...

    You still have to first choose to believe in that God. And you're hoping that that God does indeed not care too much about specifics of which religion you worshipped him/her through.

    My Muslim & Hindu friends would say the exact same thing. They would of course be talking about entirely different creators. I would have to... pick... which one I believe in.

    Simultaneously bringing up both the ethical problem with hell and the reason most arguments for God brought up by Christians are basically pointless since they don't actually point to Yahweh.

    If cars could reproduce and mutations that moved them towards being a truck made them more likely to reproduce than other cars, yes, but I'm not sure what your point is. Also, you need to define what you mean by "robot" before answering the second question

    It was the peer review process and scientific method that revealed them as fakes, so yes

    Embarrassing Evolution proofs

    The peer review process is exactly how we know these were fakes. They were tested by other scientists, who used to scientific process to eventually determine the truth.
