• 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.

How much longer?

No, I didn't. I answered them with an open explanation that I am not an expert on these matters. I answered your question rather directly. Perhaps it was beyond your understanding.

There were actually three questions in the post and you didn't answer a single one of them....

1) What is moral?
2) What is immoral?
3) Where, in man, does this come from?

I see that you did not understand my answer. Start a new thread and I will try my admittedly in-expert best to answer them so that you can understand.

It's like learning isn't it, it's all too much trouble, it's much easier just to be religious.

I've learned that faith-based belief systems aren't going to disappear. Of course the faith-based worldview of atheistic Darwinist creationism is a relatively new faith-based system. It'll probably hang around for a while.

The OP is discussing the issue. Perhaps you should allow the OP to determine what is, and what isn't, pertinent to the thread?

Fair enough.

You've already revealed what your response will be when you didn't answer the questions. This thread, another thread, wouldn't make any difference.
I offered to go into more detail, but it is clear from your response that comprehension would be beyond you. And as usual with creationists not necessarily due to a lack of intelligence but due to a refusal to learn.

Why is it damaging for people to express their own beliefs, unless one is suggesting that free will is damaging.

I don't think a theist would find it hard to complete in today's world, even in the sciences, unless they were to completely ignore what they find. Does the apparatus that moves the universe say anything about how it was created or does it simply give one a window into it's workings?

Those people who want nothing to do with knowledge or understanding, no matter which side they are on are the most destructive, because they gain their power through demonizing and belittling others.

I am a Christian and I'm not well educated. I ran away from home, school and church all at the same time. I thought I knew everything when I was 16 and found out later just how little I knew. I found out that the more I learned the more I understood just how little I did know.

I returned to God and to books at the same time and have learned much since then. What I've never learned is why so many people are so convinced of their own truths that they would sneer at others just for thinking beyond them.

I will ask again, should Nazism be defended as free speech?

The entire point of freedom of speech is that it protects unpopular speech.
