• 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.

Being evil proves you`re not a brain

Chesterton sounds like an idiot. The doctrine involves having sin because of something done long ago and not in the paper. No crime, no matter how awful, reported in the paper is "original sin".

People who are not idiots have the ability to recognize humor, and your error is compounded by the fact that I put a smiley face at the end of the sentence to indicate that it's supposed to be humor. Huge swing and miss, but thanks for playing.

And by the same token...

The stomach, or center, of a human being is what controls all the rest of the human being. If the stomach stops digesting food for the rest, the rest will die. The brain is something that allows us to distinguish one thing from another. But the brain needs the stomach in order to survive. Everything therefore relies on the stomach.

And the same argument can be made for most organs.

Far from it.

Context would have helped, but the net effect is that we're all inclined to do Bad Things, an idea that appears to me to be irrefutable.

Symptoms thereof. And the gist of what Chesterton was saying is that the human tendency to Do Bad Things is inherent in all of us. Call it what you will, the fact seems to me undeniable.
