  • 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

In this case, I'll take Post 37 with a grain of salt.

So you're saying your going to continue to critique science even though you've indicated you don't understand it, but you are going to get defensive when people critique religion and you don't think they understand it?

And you will take the words of your lord and savior with a grain of salt when it comes to the Golden Rule?

Good luck with your ministry!

I'm going to continue to hold science up to a higher Standard --- its Creator.

And you will take the words of your lord and savior with a grain of salt when it comes to the Golden Rule?

Spare me the guilt trip, Contracelsus. When you come on here and tell me that Scripture must bow to science, but science doesn't have to bow to Scripture, then you are the one with the Golden Rule problem, not I.

Good luck with your ministry!

My ministry is blessed --- is yours?

But you don't speak for the Creator, now do you? You speak for your version of the Authorized Version 1611. Right?


Spare me the guilt trip, Contracelsus.

I've found its impossible to make some people feel guilt when they want to lord their religion over others.

It does speak volumes about how much YOU believe the words of your lord, though.

When you come on here and tell me that Scripture must bow to science, but science doesn't have to bow to Scripture, then you are the one with the Golden Rule problem, not I.

I'm not the one making any claims about science and the bible needing any coordination. I don't think the Bible has much of interest or value. That's your hangup.

You just seem to be ok with lobbing assaults at science AND simultaneously confessing your own ignorance of science.

That would put you at odds with your own bible. Tis all I'm saying.

I understand though, a lot of people have trouble with the Golden Rule. You wouldn't be the first. It's the hardest one to keep in mind but the only one of any real value.

My ministry is blessed --- is yours?

I don't have a ministry. But at least I can understand the Golden Rule.
