• 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.

What strawman?

an evolved sack of chemicals



How do they grant themselves relevancy? By what process?

This is the same question you asked before and I've already answered it. When will you ever learn you can't funnel people into giving you the responce you want. Why ask a question over and over as if people aren't intelligent enough to see the trap you try to set?

That's not a strawman, that's the conclusion of certain views of evolution. We're nothing more than a sack of chemicals produced by only naturalistic mechanisms, with no inherent value.



And of course no answer.

LOL. Of course you aren't going there.

Not surprised.
Had you arrived at your belief through reason then reason might perhaps change your mind but as you and I both know there was no reason involved was there?
You seem to have the ability to talk yourself into believing anything, unfortunately I don't have that same ability.

So it's look out USA God is watching you, which intolerant God are you alluding to anyway? I've heard that Allah is not a very tolerant God.
Jesus is my God. Notice that Obama runs an antiChrist regime? But even if that were not the case, all nations will one day fall and Jesus will reign. The US also if it were around.

Jesus never tolerated Sodom nor the pre flood wicked world.

The same place that morality has always come from. Man has always been the source of morality.

wrong. man has an inate sense of what is best for them. any 2 year old will tell you that!
morality isn't what is best for me, morality is what is best for my neighbor.
and that concern for our neighbor was put there by God.

Did I not say that they reject what religion says we came into being?
So they can reject how we came into being, but still retain claim they have a body, soul, and spirit?

Is that what you're saying?

Reject the chef, but the cake came into existence by natural forces.

Hmmm.

Bull. That's your determination of what people who think that God doesn't exist think that they are. You personally set this up as a standard, which is a strawman. Then you asked how quote/unquote they determine their relivance.

And of course no answer.
I called you out for the B.S. tactic you used to try to manipulate others peoples responce. I'm not going to play your game by your rules. As far as how a person determines their relivance I've already answered that, but it wasn't the answer you wanted, so you walked away from it.

I've seen this type of deceit before and it always returns back to the same question repeated, with a few varients and of course the same dismissive responce to any answer that doesn't support your agenda, which is no answer or in your case "Ofcourse, no answer."

Hmmm.
Just because to you and I there is a God doesn't mean to others there is no God.
You talk about the body, soul and spirit, but can you define what the soul and what the spirit is?

I believe they are the conscience life essence that was blown into our bodies at birth, but maybe you have a different opinion.

By facing facts and understanding exactly what they are and not by imagining they are something they are not.
He's trying to get you into a situation where the conscience and ethical and morale codes are brought up so he can through in the everything came from God arguement. I've seen this done over and over. It's iritating because of the fact. We Christian's believe that all goodness comes from God. I would have talked dirrectly to you about this, without the word play, but I'm not out here to get you. There's no honor in leading people on.

The Cliffs notes on body, soul, and spirit go like this:
  • body = soma = emirical senses = fueled by food
  • soul = psyche = mind, will, emotions = fueled by emotions & consciousness
  • spirit = pneuma = spiritual nature = fueled by the word of God

Even if it's detrimental to the society? where do you draw the line?
Governments draw the line at the point where the speech instigates or causes immediate bodily harm or significant property damage. Even in those instances, the speech is not hindered. Instead the instigator is held somewhat accountable for the damage done.
What you believe is stupid has no relevance regarding what should be allowed.
Saying stupid or offensive things is not punishable by the government in the U.S. However, there are no restrictions on the citizens in their verbal responses to said stupidity or offensiveness.

For instance, I find that your remarks regarding religion and your contention that it should be restricted, to be stupid and incendiary. Additionally, I contend that your continued attempts to access this site and hurl insults at the religious members, should promote an inquiry as to the strength of your medication and your adherence to the dosage schedule.

There is no evidence of that. But we can see that all upper animals, including man, have a sense of right and wrong that applies that that animal.

As I said, morality as we know it, comes from man. No gods need apply.
