  • 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

Cows don't exist (a game).

Many of you drink milk every morning, and no doubt you've been told it came from a cow. But how can you be sure those really exist? I think it's a massive conspiracy by cowists, with the financial incentive of selling you milk. Big Milk of course tries to silence any critics. Of course, it is up to you, the cowists, to provide evidence since yours is the positive claim.

Now to address ahead of time the most common of the so called evidence (I call them "old canards"):
The milk: I'm not sure where the milk actually comes from, but I suspect it is from a factory of the same sort that makes American cheese. The whole cow thing is just a trick to make it seem more natural and healthy.

Photographic evidence: Everyone knows photos can be faked. All the x-ray pictures of cows are faked, but the normal pictures are usually the "real live" cows.

"Real live" cows: In fact, Big milk has made a robot coated in leather or something like leather. The models that are intended to be shown often have a built-in milk dispenser and milk warmer, to help further the myth that milk comes from these creatures. But not all of them do -- as you'll find out if you try to go milk the ones that aren't kept near the milk factory. As of yet, not one has allowed me to dissect one of their cows, so I can't really see for sure.

Of course, it's long been politically incorrect to question the existence of cows. Generally, questioning the existence of cows was simply met with ridicule, but more and more people are starting to question and we demand real proof. So, are any of you cowists going to respond? Those of you who aren't convinced are welcome to point out where their proofs are lacking.

Come visit me in CA, there are more dairies than you can shake a stick at. I can take you to dairy in about 15 min from my house. You can milk a cow if you'd like. I can show you the incredible amounts of manure they produce. Then I can introduce you to one of the farmers that grows hay to feed the dairy cows. Lastly, I can take you to any number of grocery stores and buy a 16 oz. New York cut to throw on the BBQ.
If that's not enough, then nothing is.

People in insane asylums see and hear things all the time. The human mind runs excellent simulation software which causes it to recognize images and sounds which aren't actually there. Why should we trust people who claim to see and hear cows? How do we know that they aren't hallucinating?

Sorry, I'm not going to go travel all the way to California just to see the supposed cows.
In that case, how do you know California even exists? In fact, the plane you would take to get here is a figment of your wild imagination.

How do you know anything at all?

Yeah, I've milked cows, but of course the fact I say that merely proves that I'm part of the conspiracy.

I'm reminded of something G. K Cahesterton wrote:
"The man who cannot believe his senses, and the man who cannot believe anything else, are both insane, but their insanity is proved not by any error in their argument, but by the manifest mistake of their whole lives. They have both locked themselves up in two boxes, painted inside with the sun and stars; they are both unable to get out, the one into the health and happiness of heaven, the other even into the health and happiness of the earth. Their position is quite reasonable; nay, in a sense it is infinitely reasonable, just as a threepenny bit is infinitely circular. But there is such a thing as a mean infinity, a base and slavish eternity. It is amusing to notice that many...take as their sign...a serpent with his tail in his mouth. There is a startling sarcasm in the image of... a degraded animal who destroys even himself"​

Define "cow"!

Aren't those the critters that we call the females cows, the males bulls, and the young we call calves until they're weaned, cattle for a group of them, bovine for things referring to them... But what do we call them as an individual, without referring to their age or gender? You cowists don't even know what the animal you believe in is called, do you?

Where I come from, farmers would refer to these mythical constructs as a 'beast'. Says it all doesn't it.
