• 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

And thus you made the typical leap of illogic that anyone who dares to give a modicum of respect to the Fundamentalist tradition, in the face of a clearly incorrect characterization by the poster to whom I was responding, must himself be a Fundamentalist.
Clearly you mean something rather different by "fundamentalist" than the way the term is commonly used now to describe those who hold to the five Fundamentals as necessary to salvation, or merely as a pejorative.

You keep saying that, it doesn't make it true, you're making bald assertions with no substance beyond commonsensical simplistic inferences

No, beliefs are rooted in a system of justification, not whether you believe or disbelieve in a deity, that's incidental

And you also think that just using agnostic in some "common" meaning suggests you've just won an argument, you really haven't, just shown you aren't willing to discuss objectively
That you don't think that "Atheism" is a belief system, proves that you would be incapable of discussing anything "Objectively", so why would I bother?

What's the rest of the system? Besides non-belief in gods?
