• 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.

... You're the one who said it ... I'm just agreeing with you.

Make up my mind, will you?

You're the one who chose to take it as a compliment. Don't blame me for that.

If you were a rational person, you'd take the effort to actually learn something.

But then you wouldn't be able to be a Poe and give creationists a bad name, would you?

Yes. If you are not rational you just assign something as the truth and don't bother learning or questioning if you are correct. Well done AV.

Wait, do you believe in God? Do you believe in Creation? I was trying to ask evolutionists why can't pigeons play chess?

My belief in God, is my own. I don't believe in Christianity, or any other religion for that matter, but I'm not atheist. And I'm certainly not a creationist. Evolutionist is a term creationist made up to make evolution sound like an ideology. It's not an ism. The god part was a pun.

I do not think knowing how to play chess is directly connected with our ability to adapt, to reproduce, to survive, to evolve, to live.

Perhaps it is.... What does the bible say on this matter?

Dumber is just a matter of degrees, isn't it?

What difference does it make if you are in the 1 to 10 range, if you have to get to 100?

QV please:

Of course, blind adherence to a religious faith which actively discourages learning is pretty harmful, isn't it, AV?

If you don't know something, it's okay, because you have an opportunity to learn about it.

But if you don't know something and decide that it's therefore unimportant and refuse to learn about it at all, then you're an idiot.

Now tell us, AV... Would you like to learn about evolution?
