• 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.

I was active on this forum years ago, but gave up when I realized that most Christians will never take Romans 12:2 seriously. I view modern culture as pure evil and I was seeking an alternative. The only real alternatives that I found are traditional Anabaptists (who aren't on this forum) and conservative Muslims.

But even these groups have issues. I finally realized that while good religion gives good guidance, this isn't enough. Someone with a good heart but a dysfunctional brain is not able to distinguish between good and evil. So the real problem with modern humanity is simply stupidity. Humanity has become too stupid to distinguish between good and evil. And religion cannot fix this.

So I plan to discuss ways of increasing intelligence to help Christians distinguish between good and evil. I guess the "Ethics & Morality" forum is the right place to do this.

Welcome back...

You raise points that are worthy of discussion but this is not the forum for it as you say...

If you start a thread over in E&M we will join you.
