  • 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.

Another look at the moon landing.

"The round red, white and blue insignia, nicknamed the “meatball,” was designed by employee James Modarelli in 1959, NASA’s second year. The design incorporates references to different aspects of the mission of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The round shape of the insignia represents a planet. The stars represent space. The red v-shaped wing represents aeronautics. The circular orbit around the agency’s name represents space travel."

Thanks for this David, I suppose the red chevron's are well over exaggerated by a snake :)

Not really sure what you mean - sorry! Do you mean that the chevrons need to be exaggerated to make them into a snake's tongue? I am fairly sure you didn't mean that a snake exaggerated the chevrons. :)

IMO - The chevrons have been highly exaggerated by a snake via certain individuals.

A snake exaggerated the chevrons? If you mean the devil, who is also called the serpent and Satan, why would he want to exaggerate something like that? I thought your whole idea about NASA was that it is deceptive. Drawing attention to the devil would take away the deception you say exists. I am sure most people wouldn't even think about a snake's tongue when looking at the NASA logo. I have only ever come across such an notion from your posts on this thread.

Yes, I would agree with you there.
Someone has looked at it, thought "that could be a snake's forked tongue" and told everyone else that that WAS the case.

It's a conspiracy theory - "NASA's logo has a snake's tongue on it; a snake can be poisonous or dangerous and in the Bible it is an analogy for the devil. Therefore, NASA is dangerous, evil and can't be trusted."

I think she might mean that the red chevrons on NASA's logo have been likened to the forked tongue of a snake. And some have produced pictures which show that.

Thanks. That would certainly make more sense than the idea that a snake did the design.

Yes, I didn't think you just looked at NASA's symbol one day and thought to yourself, "Ah, that red bit is a serpent's tongue, so that shows how devilish NASA is!"

I still wouldn't trust NASA or believe any of them especially the top dogs.

Sorry, but I doubt very much that you know the top dogs.
And thousands of people work at/for NASA. It would be a bit like me saying "I don't trust the Irish, when I don't know anyone from Ireland."

Right - and do any of those short bios say; "and he is a well-known liar who has successfully conned people into believing the moon landings"?

So you might have some information about what they do, but you don't know them.

They wouldn't would they ? It would be more than their jobs are worth.

No I don't & wouldn't want too.

Why?
If those men were proven liars, it's not slander to say so.
No I don't & wouldn't want too.
So you don't know that they are liars.
How do you know they're not Christians, run Bible study groups or preach the Gospel?

I don't know
Exactly - you don't know.
They have to be to support man walking on the moon.
So Charles Duke and the other Christian astronauts are liars too?
And if Charles is a liar, he's not only lying about the moon, he's lying about Jesus too. I hope you've told God that.

Jesus told us to treat others as we would like to be treated.
You say that everyone who doesn't agree with your beliefs is deliberately being deceitful. Not that they're mistaken, their research is wrong, their scientific knowledge is faulty or incomplete, or they interpret the Bible differently - they are deceitful, lying. They know that what they say is untrue but they still say it to fool and mislead people.
You say all this even though you don't know them, haven't met them and have decided you don't trust what you read about them.

I hope you're prepared for others to treat you the same way.

Your doubts mean only that you doubt.

You don't know that either. Charles Duke isn't.

I don't understand your confusion, it's simple enough.

Jesus said, "do for others what you would like them to do for you", Matthew 7:12. Or, treat others as you would like to be treated.
So if you would like people, for example, to be kind; to buy you surprise gifts, to notice when you are tired and make you a cuppa - then you behave that way towards them. If you would like others to treat you fairly, then treat them fairly. If you would like them to say that you are truthful, then be honest with them and treat what they say as the truth.
And if you wouldn't like people to jump to conclusions about you, or tell lies about you - don't treat them that way.

You have been saying that people at NASA and certain Christians are liars. You don't know them.
Would you like people to treat you like that? To make judgments and jump to conclusions about you, when they know nothing about you?
If not, don't treat them like that.

Look, we are discussing a very controversial subject here on this thread, so not everybody is going to agree & to get a point across one has to tell the truth, whether someone dislikes it or not.
