• 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Only with rose coloured glasses on. With clear vision it is clear that a great many major wars were tied up with religious differences, evangelism, proselytism, intolerance, and even "civilising the heathen".
sources? I have provided valid sources, I would expect the same respect for logic of debate from you.

Who says that they are reliable?
first source is a history book written for public schools, and is in fact in the princeton library...

Encyclopedia of wars / Charles Phillips and Alan Axelrod. - Princeton University Library Catalog

both authors have advanced degrees in history.

second resource is about nobel peace prize history, from a scientist is Israel.
found here:
Does religion cause war?

but to answer your question no resource is objective truth. You cannot find true authority in this world other than God himself and His word. But you can use resources by people with PhD's and that is what I did.
