  • 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.

Yes, he does seem kind of young to decide to take on some of the more zealous defenders of the faith - attackers of those who think differently - that are here.

On the other hand my son just turned 14 and he assures me time and again that he knows everything :D

He may be young, but he is thinking seriously. Let's not forget that we were fourteen once too. He has a reason for believing as he does and I think we should be listening to him.

I dont claim to know everything. I dident mean to have it sound as a disease i just had nothing to do.

I didn't think you sounded as though you think you know everything, neither that you made it sound like a disease. I think you are hosting this thread like a real champ. You are openminded and fair and that's the way to find the truth.

You invited questions concerning your atheism and I asked in an earlier post how you came to your conclusions about God and the origin of our universe. If you care to share that I'd love to hear it. I know you posted something about it and lost it in a computer glitch and I know how pleasant it is to re-write the same thing twice, so if you don't care to go to all that effort again it's ok. I'm only curious.

I havent ben to this site before favorite color is green and i found out god wasent real by myself.

You found that out, did you? How does one make that discovery? Is it kind of like when you're sitting on Santa's lap in the mall, and you pull on his beard, only to find that it comes off in your hand?

Aside from that; being an atheist what made you decide to come to a Christian forum?
It's a prequisite in order to advance in EAC rank. :p

It's blue! Red is the tool of the Man! Rise up, my brothers, with the hue of the enlightened!

I lived with my grandmother for about four years. She took me to church and sundayschool every sundday.Back then i had questions that were never awnsered so that made me a little sceptical. I moved back in with my mom and dad when i was 10. I dident go to churchanymore after that.I started figureing things out on my own and went to websites to learn what i could.At school when people tried to make me see 'the christian way' and make me join a grouip i asked them my questions. They really couldent give me a good awnser. I knew what atheism is and decided to look it up.I found atheism was more like me and I knew myself that gods/Godesses werent real.I found other atheist forums like iidb.org and information sites like positiveatheism.com and no-god.com. Thats how i figured out god wasent real for myself.

Im not going to lie i wanted to go here and lurk around just for fun.Its pretty crazy stuff ive heard some christians say on this site.Its that and boredom.

Morrowinds a game i had.


Oregin of the universe i believe that it created itself but other people have thier opinions.Im fine in the fact that the universe had created itself because we may not know otherwise.

Oh yeah a question that priest smiley, doesent it look like a kkk member with the white robe and all?

Agreed. Esspecially on the creation/evolution debate forum. Not so much on this particular forum, however thatmay be due to the fact that Christians are a 'minority' here in NCR. :)

Not quite. It looks like a bishop.

You didn't figure it out for yourself then, you adopted the opinions of fools on internet forums (no offense intended. I calls em as I sees em). You didn't get answers from Christians, but you got answers from atheists. It's only reasonable to assume you would adopt their views.

I'll give you my "god story" when I get a free minute. It's the first day back to school and I've got an hour or two worth of homework.

If he just believed it on faith Im against that as much as I am any faith, but if he actually understood it then whats wrong with that?

What? Please use a proper sentance structure when you post. I hate it when I have to try to make sence of a badly worded post. If he believed what on faith? Christianity? He said it himself that he didn't understand Christianity and that people didn't answer his questions.


And if he believes you on faith, wouldnt that be just as foolish?

I'm no missonary, I'm not recruiting people to Christianity as some atheist groups do to their cause whenever someone new comes to one of their forums.
