  • 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

Because they see what belief in God (whether there is one or not) sometimes does to people.

So you're answering for all of them, and don't get me wrong, that's fine with me, especially since it's is so often the case Atheists stick together, and will likely agree with you..

What does belief in God sometimes do to people?

You remind me a lot of a certain brand of Atheists. Set up an 'us vs them' narrative, making sweeping generalizations, zero-in on unimportant details to try and create flaws in someone's narrative, etc..

And you remind me of someone who, (before I can even discuss this) is going to have to show me the sweeping generalizations,,and the unimportant details I''m being accused of zeroing in on. That should do for starters.

I dont know how to find one. Ive never met one, as far as I know. Not even online.

If you are unable or unwilling to see it, I suppose there isn't much you can do when it comes to questioning them.

I'd bite, but I've seen your discourse with other users and am pretty uninterested in taking the bait you're offering at the moment.

Also, I may have meant hasty generalization instead of sweeping generalization. Sometimes I get the meanings mixed lol.

And please don't wrongly accuse a second time by saying I'm baiting when I merely asked you a perfectly legitimate question.

Actually I'd suggest, in the future, you have an accusation before you make an accusation.

No, I remember another instance where I was stalking a thread and you were exhibiting some very 'passive-aggressive' behavior towards another user, under the very guise of 'I was just asking a question'.

Obviously having seen that, and having seen the responses you've given to criticism of your behavior, I'm going to opt-out of having any kind of discussion with you on that topic.

I agree wholeheartedly.

Are you ready to get into the following implication yet or is that going to be another "That's what I thought" result"

I've seen your discourse with other users

Serious advice...Actually don't worry about it the prior request, it's clear you don't underhand that we are expected to stand behind our claims here, but you'll get it eventually.

Sorry, I assumed since you seem to only bring anecdotal evidence to the table(your comments on Atheists/atheism apply here), you wouldn't mind.

I agree wholeheartedly.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Again...that's what I thought. I have to think, just as with your claim here thee was more to it and you might just not want to get into it for that reason.

No. Believe it or not, I didn't want to get into it because I genuinely don't think it would benefit either of us. It would waste my time, and you'd deflect any claims I make.

Atheists agree with me about many things, except about the existence of God.

What does belief in God sometimes do to people?
It depends; they start inquisitions, burn witches, sometimes even fly airplanes into buildings.
