• 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.

Dear creationists...

I corrected your post.
There are many christians who aren't creationists and who celebrate Easter too.
It fits to wish them a the same lovely day.


That wasn't cool. I targeted creationists for a reason.

It is the creation forum, after all, and I spend an inordinate amount of time debating against creationists - so I thought it would be good to go out of my way and wish those specific people a great Easter.

Not everything is politically laced and divisive. I merely wanted to be nice.

This part of the forum is the sort where you have to carefully tip toe least you accidently give someone ammunition to use against you, isn't it?

I can't say this enough, and I'm sure you guys don't like to hear it, because you don't want to be associated with the "other side;" but for the record:

Theistic evolutionists are creationists.

(According to Wikipedia.)

And like I pointed out before, you are a Homo Sapien, according to Wikipedia.

Yes - and it drives me crazy.

Us TEs celebrate Easter too, you know
Thanks? I never made any comments about whether or not TE's were creationists - as it happens I think TE is a fine model for creationism.

Why are people so difficult? I want to wish a group of people, creationists, whom I usually debate against, a happy easter, and communicate some good will.

All those people who want to tear apart a good intention can "take a hike".

No worries. I almost said something myself but realized that this is the creationist/evolutionist forum. However, I would not have pointed it out from being upset just to let you know. Its no biggy really. :hug:

From a creationist that also believes in evolution I thank you for your kindness and your good will. Thanks. :)

Sayre, I think that's admirable of you; I really do.

I have to say I'm impressed with your style, although you make me mad as a hornet at times.

But for the record, I think this thread shows your true colors, in that you're willing to get along with your antagonists on their level.

Oh no, now look what you have done, you can never use it as a source again!
Wrong.

I pick and choose carefully from Wikipedia.

If it supports my point, I'll use it.

If it doesn't support my point, it can take a hike.

That won't change anything though.

I'll still think that's admirable of you.

Seriously.
