• 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.

The video offends me as does your post. You should be ashamed of yourself.
Yeah, the music is admittedly quite terrible. I muted it.
I'm surprised you didn't like the guy's argument, though. His paranoid tirades about "atheistic evolutionist conspiracies" sound a lot like your own! :p

Indeed. All it needs is a gratuitous and entirely ironic Francis Bacon quote.

Actually, I think the music from roughly 0:25-0:45 is rather nice. Sounds like something from Halo.

Ahhh creationism....what a lovely story!

I think I prefer Amazon.com: The Belgariad, Vol. 1 (Books 1-3): Pawn of Prophecy, Queen of Sorcery, Magician's…

I've read the Belgariad and the Mallorean in full. Also read part of Belgarath the Sorcerer, although I never got through it. Good books, although a lot of the characters are very stereotypical fantasy/"traditional" molds. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but some people don't like it. It is a valid point of criticism.

Oh, I know, its very stereotypical fantasy. Funny thing is, Eddings even admits that in his new introduction. ^_^

Still an entertaining choice if you are in the mood for a book that doesn't require any intellectual challenge. :)
