• 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.

such is your skepticism

You have not demonstrated that anything you've spoken about corresponds with reality. And all your responses consist of are sound bites. I see no reason to reply to anything you have to say until you can produce responses with some actual content.

Ajñāna is one of the … schools of ancient Indian philosophy, and the ancient school of radical Indian skepticism. …
They were specialized in refutation without propagating any positive doctrine of their own.
That sounds remarkably like your modus operandi.

Your comments are always merely skeptical.

You misunderstand what I mean by "argument."
I suspect he fully understood your request. His response is perfectly in keeping with his posting style.
Please respond with a line of reasoning to support your position.
Don't hold your breath.

You tried laying this Ajñana thing on me before and I'd never heard of it before that. (And I still don't care what it is.)

just… skepticism
