  • 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.

    Christian tactic for losing debates with atheists like Bill Maher

    The YouTube title is horribly mistitled. Let's examine the strategy that the Christian in this video used to lose the debate. 1. Argue that key portions of the Bible are complete nonsense. 2. Argue against Maher's claim that the Bible itself says it is all true. 3. Join with Maher in...

    Summary of the personal apologetics. Are God-proofs the proofs?

    In the links below is summary of talks between Theism and Non-believers. The main results: 1) "Atheism" is anti-idolatry, 2) False atheism is denial of God, 3) The proofs of God are objective, because a proof can not be subjective, 4) The proofs (including the "5 ways of Thomas A.") are not...

    A Modest Proposal Regarding Debating Religious Claims

    MIchael Martin, Philosophy of Religion Professor at Boston University and an atheist said, "The aim of this book is not to make atheism a popular belief or even to overcome its invisibility.

    Do you believe the earth is only 6000 years old ?

    Protestant Denominational Differences (I want to hear from YOU!)

    televised debates are pointless

    people kinda get an impression, of maybe what they want... A person needs to determine the answer to the right question Not just take what the PR experts told the candidates to say to gain the most supporters and avoid offending anyone So what is / are the key questions?

    VP Debate: Who won the debate?

    Gov. Pence won hands down. He did what Trump couldn't do in the first debate, give voters a reason to vote for Trump over Hillary. Gov. Pence's tone also was more appealing to undecided and independent voters. Sen. Kaine's tone appealed only to the Democratic base only. My take on the debate...

    Trump vs Hillary: The most anticlimactic debate ever

    Despite all the hype and promotion the debate of the ages became the debate of the boring. It was the most watched in history but I am pretty sure that it was also one of the most anticlimactic in history. Neither candidate gave voters a reason to voter for them. Once again voters are the true...

    Trump Trainwreck

    The Trump Train has gone off the rails. He got caught lying about the NFL sending him a letter about the dates of the Presidential debates. This man keeps digging himself into a deeper and deeper hole. https://thesystemsscientist.com/2016/08/02/trump-train-derails/

    U2 and Evangelicals in the 1980s: Was their Christian faith important to you?

    When I was growing up in the 80s, I remember having a lot of the "are they or aren't they" kinds of discussions about U2's Christian faith. It was, for some reason, really important to me back then. I've been thinking back to that era recently, wondering why it was so important. What did we...
