• 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

Christianity profoundly sharpens ones thinking.

It sharpened my thinking so much that after reading much of the NT, there is no way I could ever become a Christian. I consider it untrue and harmful. It just boggles my rational mind to no end as to why on earth would educated, intelligent people ever accept such fables, myths and legends as truth. What it does reveal to me is the people who do believe it is true seem to have a real problem telling truth from fantasy.

As I said, if immaterial things are "nothings," then your thoughts (which are immaterial) are nothings, and therefore, I would have no reason to take them seriously. It was meant as an ostensibly lighthearted retort which, in reality, carries a lot of weight in regard to your worldview.

And since your "retort" refers to the immaterial. It is quite apparant that the Triune God (whatever that is) is just as immaterial which in all reality has everything in common with non-existence. That said, it is atheism that is the more logical view of the world. Isn't reality a drag sometimes Ms A. Believer?
