• 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.

Scientists didn't "create" LSD. They extracted lysergic acid from ergot and added diethylamine. In essence, God created LSD. According to dad, everything God created he created for our "pleasure."

We get "pleasure" from LSD, do we?

Organic chemsits trying out new things syntesized things like LSD, and, nylon.
Some felt that the bad outweighs the good, and no science should be done.

There was an early scientist / technician who invented the sharp rock too. Later, someone got hurt wit it. This brought into question whether science and technology were doing more harm than good, and who should get the blame. Some said that
people should only use what god gave them.

Then, some people started using fire. The same controversy erupted. Some groups went with it, others refused. Later, the NFU/GSO (no fire using, god stuff only) became extinct thro' non survival of the most unfittest. However, the recessive genes sisnvolved kept manifesting, and still are to be encountered, as on this forum.

Do not forget the other creations of science. Almost all of the fruits, vegetables, and animals we use were domesticated by people. Brocolli, cauliflower, cabbage, brussel sprouts, kale, collard greens, and kolhrabi were all created by man, not God.

If we want to be precise, it is for His pleasure all things were and are created. But as went man, so went the animals. They were for our use, as was the stars and sun. We were, in the opinion of some, the literal masters of the universe, and earth. We had dominion, even over, like Jesus had, the sea, and wind, and etc.

That was in the pre sin state, of course. I doubt Adam needed to mix drugs. Really.

Nothing on (gods green) earth that you could ever say to "dad" would move him a quarter point off of any idea he has. The thread I had a few days ago he wrecked and the mods closed it. I think we are all way better off if his posts are ignored.

I rarely respond to him myself. On occassion I point out when he commits Blasphemy by claiming his made-up additions to scripture represents "God's Word," since he cannot really defend doing this, even with is iron-clad ad-hoc rationalizations.

Remember though that there are many lurkers here on these forums. Though dad is set in his ways, some of the lurkers may be undecided. In dad's mind we will never prove him wrong yet we may be able to sway the undecided away from the dark side with our rebuttals.

Well, I had not thought of it that way. Perhaps you are right.
