• 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.

  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

If I believe that intolerance is immoral, does that alone make it evil?
If I believe that intolerance is moral, does that make it good?

Everyone has their own morals, even evil people.

Real life example: (hopefully this thread doesn't derail to abortion)
I am morally opposed to abortion. I consider it murder which is immoral in my eyes.
But...
I am legally for abortion. If it were to be made illegal, would that stop a desperate woman with a coat hanger from endangering her own life from fear of the law? Though it would be moral to make it illegal, it could take 2 lives instead of 1. Would that not be evil yet moral?
Click to expand...
You seem to be assuming that morals are subjective. I believe that they are objective, and I base my equation of evil with immorality because of this, so assuming that morals are subjective to disprove my points is an instance of begging the question.
