• 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.

In most instances the methods and tactics of those posting replies to you have been earnest attempts to point you in the direction of reality. That you interpret this as fudging and purposefully twisting is evidence that the facts presented you have had an impact that you did not want to experience, therefore, to protect your belief structure, you must assume that everyone is lying to you. But they aren't.

Inan3, you don't have to reject God to also understand corporeal reality. It's sad that you apparently think you do, as sooner or later this is likely to lead you to a crisis of faith that didn't have to occur, and unlike a few here, I don't see much point in trying to deconvert people if they are happy with their religion (as long as they don't try to make laws out of it).

Good luck.
