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.
Again, is religion a good thing or a bad thing? Is evolution as good as Christianity or is Christianity as bad as evolution?
If one loves their faith, it seems odd that one should denigrate science by calling it faith.

Oh that won't go far... Everyone (here) knows that Christianity is the only good religion. So, calling something a religion (that is not Christianity) is saying that it is really, really bad.

Yeah, but is it good to be a religion or no?. If Christianity is a religion, then using the words religion and faith as pejoratives is just dumb.

It's good to be Christianity, it is bad to be any other religion (millions were killed for this). They try to equate evolution to religion simply because there is no way to debate the two under scientific grounds.

Religion is a very BAD thing....it is the Doctrines of Demons.
True Christianity is having Fellowship with the Lord Jesus Christ, living in His Word moment by moment.
The word of God does not recognize evolution, it is one mans unbeliever in the Lord based on speculation and ignorance about the word of God.
Once again, we see how Satan takes that which God has created and perverts it so that he can counterfeit the work of God.
While many were debating things like evolution, Atheism, Agnosticism, the New Age and Astrology little did we know what Satan was really planning, the growth and emergence of Islam for the purpose of taking over the world.
We have recently studied all of this background to show that everything that our God does, the true God of the Jew and the Christian, the false god Satan tries to counterfeit.
In 2CO 11:3 "But I am afraid, lest as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds should be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ. For if one comes and preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted, you bear this beautifully."

He KNOWS better now though doesn't he?!....He is in h-ll.

No, Christianity is, by every reasonable definition of the word, a religion.
Most other adherents of other religions feel they have fellowship with their deities, so this is just a failed attempt at coming across as superior based on semantics.
You'd think if Christianity really was true its adherents wouldn't need to play these childish word games so often.
Darwin was Christian when he devised the theory of evolution.

I thought you'd never ask.
First I'll take thee sciences that are partially from evolution. paleontology, embryology, genealogy, geology and taxonomy. If you look at each science you can find patterns in the different animal groups these patterns can be seen as identical through all of these sciences.
Ugh I've got too much evidence so later today I shall make a thread about this subject.
untill then you can ponder this first piece. cheers

Not exactly, evolution is the change of alleles in populations over time not an a priori assumption of universal common ancestry by exclusively naturalistic means. So Darwinism, properly defined by it's naturalistic assumptions, is a transcendent principle of a philosophy excluding God as any cause in human or natural history. I agree with what you said, just don't agree with the word you used. Had you said 'Darwinism' rather then 'evolution' there would have been no disagreement from me.
Grace and peace,

Don't lay that at the religious feet, Hot -- I've been called a hypocrite here by agnostics and atheists, because I'm on the Internet and not out burning witches & homosexuals or marching off on some crusade.
When I asked if atheists prompt Muslims to 'do the right thing' with their Koran and take action against the U.S., possibly leading to 9/11, I was told 'yes'.
So don't tell me it's wrong to march off on a crusade, while your buddies prompt me to do so.
The Crusades were wrong, and done in spite of the Bible, not with respect to It, and I have to constantly remind others here of that very fact; only to take ridicule for it.

Atheists will accuse us Christians of anything, except loving God.

Probably -- only they would have had to use some other excuse than the Bible.

Almost sounds as if you're agreeing they used the Bible as the excuse.
