  • 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.

Isn't that the story for every religious belief?
No. Some are able to admit they believe on faith and dont pretend other people are misled if they dont agree with them. Others, need to convince themselves they have evidence for their belief and anyone who doesnt see it, is wrong.

I don't think there are many religious people who will ever admit that they could possibly be wrong.
Saying they believe by faith amazes me, Muslims and believers in other religions believe by faith and Christian think they are all wrong, how so? they got where they are through "Faith" and faith is supposed to be the pathway to truth, it's the exact same "Faith" Christians use but the others got it all wrong.

They don't have to spend time and money defending freedom around the world, feeding the hungry, healing the sick, etc. So they can sit back, "let George (Washington) do it", and enjoy their traditional lifestyles. Greece (and Brexit), is their "canary in the coal mine'. I hope they're paying attention.

Even assuming that this is even only remotely true, it still doesn't add up.

Are you seriously suggesting that kids in US highschool get served deep fried crap, because the US military is engaged overseas?

That Americans stuff themselves with McDonalds and Kentucky Fried Chicken, while drinking a large coke, because the military is engaged overseas?

Your logic simply does not add up. Not even remotely.

Where do you think those European countries get the money to do all that good stuff? They all have huge trade surpluses with us, not to mention our contribution to NATO and to the U.N. They are not pulling their weight, we are.

You seem to be suffering from a seriously delusional superiority complex.

And once again: even if what you said is remotely true, it does not add up in the conclusion "...and that's why we feed our kids crappy food".

I didn't make that connection. I'm saying that Americans don't have time to linger over lunch, we're too busy defending the free world. ;)

And while I don't think I'm superior I do think that I'm exceptional. :D

Faith combined with work/deeds is a powerful spiritual combination. :preach:

And do you consider this a serious argument?

Really?

More of an overview. Americans are crude by European standards. We haven't yet learned to make an art form out of everything we do. Nor do we have the inclination.

I thought Christians in the US were not bothered about works or deeds, for them just believing is enough, that's why most American are wasteful.

Joshua, what is the point of this thread? In you first post, you made absolutely ZERO mention of the Paleo diet. In fact, your only comment on diet was that since you had gained weight after loosing weight from a yo-yo diet, that you feel that invalidates the theory of evolution.

Try, for once, concisely and clearly explaining what this thread is about from your OP.
Just read the posts in this thread by
FrumiousBandersnatch . I do not think anyone here can add to what he has to say about the subject.

No, I don't care what FrumiousBandersnatch is saying. I want YOU to clearly and concisely explain what you are talking about in the OP. It is not that hard of a request!

LOL. Joe the plumber has to take a shorter lunch, so he can go defend the free world. Hilarious!
