• 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.

Thanks for pointing out another error in the Bible.

As long as you repent of your error, it can be forgiven. The Bible points out a lot of your error.

don't be angry that your champion believes in the possibility of little green men. Not everyone is perfect.

right?

He must be a Apple fan, more than a Microsoft fan. With the bite and the snake tail it fools most atheists to believe the lies told by others of the Genesis account.

...and EVERYONE else basically turned against God to worship the fallen Angels which were teaching them agriculture, architecture, metallurgy etc etc, even the wheel.

so agriculture, architecture, metallurgy and the wheel are all gifts from hell?

Ooooookkkkaaaaaayyyyy...

I mean they all are pretty awful things, but I didn't realize they were SO evil.

If you turn against God, he will not force you to worship him, it's your choice.

I'm not entirely certain that is much of a "choice". According to some versions of Christianity you get a short time to make a choice (~70+ years) and if you make the wrong choice you will spend ETERNITY in torment.

So that works out to about 70/infinity...that's a ratio pretty close to ZERO for choiceunishment.

But is it really a "choice" then? Kind of like a mafia boss saying you can pay him or you can be killed.

That's not what I would call a "choice".


So, this is the point of the sacrifice. Either you are thankful for a way out, back to eternal life

What if I'm ok with a regular life? What if I'm not interested in living forever? What if I just want to be happy in THIS life that I KNOW I have?


, or you are egotistic and choose to ignore God.

Maybe for some of us it isn't egotism. Did you ever consider that? Perhaps some of us cannot force ourselves to worship that which doesn't appear to be there to us.

If God wants worship then why hide from some of us?

If God simply wants to play a game in which he holds all the cards and I am powerless then why not jump straight ahead to the torture NOW?

You see, it is hardly "egotistical" to ignore that which doesn't appear to be there to some of us.

I am not sure I believe the video you presented, have transcripts? Even if major parts of interviews are removed that is not considered a lie. Thus video editors are all liars right?

Let's edit your response and remove a few major parts, shall we?

Are you starting to see the creationist strategy at work?

"No one has commented on this in the day or so since I posted it, even though the other things three things I posted were shown to be false. Victory!"

In what universe is being 25% right a win?

Actually it is considered a lie if you substantially change what the speaker said by editing.

That is extremely dishonest.

And we don't have nor need the full transcripts of the original interview.

Why do you ask these foolish questions when you refused to watch the video that explains how Ben Stein's movie was a lie? Watch Potholer's very short video and you should be able to understand.

Sight is not our only sense. And we can see things fall, we can feel the wind, all of the things that science treats as correct can be observed in one fashion or another.

Yet you cannot provide objective evidence for your god.

Why are there so many grammatical errors in your quotes? Are you typing them all our yourself, or are you copying and pasting from elsewhere?

Excellent job.

And he has the benefit that this site let's someone check out the full original quote, via the blue arrow that takes you to the quoted post.

Watcher of the movie do not have that option. They cannot go back and see what was actually said.

So if you see things fall, yet you do not fall explain to me why some are believers and others are not believers yet neither can see God?

Let's loook at one of these.


The bolded part should clue you in to something.

The Origin of Life and Consequences

That's the source. Does it look like the writer of this is for or against evolution? Be honest. Try.

Please, that sort of thing can lead to acronyms from the other side. Of course some creationist would probably get ticked off since his panties got scorched and would report the "blasphemy".

I thought the other side was supposed to be neutral?

(And for the record, I won't EVEN tell you what "atheist" anagrams to! )
