• 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.

Fun with the Flood math.

... hahahahahaha, sad. My Custom Title is an inside joke with me and a friend and I don't see why you have to pull that out in a discussion about the Flood.

It would be the same for me to start rambling about... say your mother in a completely nonsensical way, while discussing the Big Bang with you.

I'll ask just one more time, then I'll drop it.

Did L. Ron Hubbard believe in God?

If you don't know --- just say so.

I'm easy.

What on earth is wrong with you?

Whatever, L. Ron Hubbard didn't believe in God as far as I know, he was a Science fiction writer who carried some of his ideas from his novels over to a religious sect called Scientology - Mainly based on a self-improvement technique called "Dianetics".

I really have no idea what you're trying to get out of this question other than make yourself look really silly. Just because L. Ron Hubbard didn't believe in God it doesn't mean you can relate him to me.

Okay --- fine --- I won't. Don't have a hissy fit about it.

If you would have answered the question in the first place, I wouldn't have had to ask again.

Incidentally, do YOU relate ME to a defender of the faith?

Yes or no?

I don't see where you're going with this at all and it's just becoming stupid.

No, I don't.

Atheuz, your caption reads L Ron Hubbard. So out of respect, I was about to treat you as one of his followers.

Thus, when you said you don't believe in my God, I was wondering if L Ron Hubbard didn't also.

By contrast, my caption reads Defender of the Faith.

You just admitted that you don't believe I am a defender of the faith, and so are NOT paying respect to my caption.

However, I can now see why you believe this way; since your caption is misleading, you assume MINE is too.

See how that works?

Neat, huh?

Uh, no. I didn't know your custom title couldn't be something you and a personal friend found funny and nothing about following L. Ron Hubbard.

You're taking the custom title thing way too seriously, and mine is just for fun.

Also I don't think you're a Defender of Faith, I think you're a Defender of Fundamentalistic Christian Views - Not because my Custom title may appear misleading.
