  • 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.

A serious question.

Hello, and fnord, CF.

I have a question for you of a theological nature involving the proof or disproof of a divine entity.

Any member of any faith who believes in any deity is welcome to respond.

Give me one argument for why Eris, the Greek goddess of discord, does not exist, which cannot also be used to disprove the existence of your god or goddess.

Thank you.

Hail Eris.

Eris has not revealed herself to me, therefore I cannot believe in Eris. Jesus has revealed himself to me and continues to do so, therefore I place my trust in Jesus who has proven to be who He claims.

OP, I must ask: Do you really worship Eris? I've always been under the distinct impression that Discordianism was a fake religion. Having at one time, many moons ago, been somewhat of a faux devotee myself and religiously reading the Principia Discordia (and the associated reading materials by Robert Anton Wilson and J.R. Bob Dobbs), I always doubt those who claim to be serious.

Seriously though: I experience my God's presence every time I go to Church. I experience a miracle every time I partake of the Eucharist. My God has revealed Himself to me (as someone else has said). I've had no other experience by any other god or goddess. And, this is my opinion and I don't mean to offend- if anyone is having experiences with other gods and goddesses- I don't doubt it (I simply doubt your explanation for it and the source of it as I consider it demonic). At best, I'm agnostic about it. This did not answer your question, as I did not refute the existence of anything.
