• 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.

Many worlds and rain....

Atheism. Not knowing whether it is raining or not, and deciding to go without the unberella.

You- Oh my god. This-

Look this isn't an apt analogy whatsoever. For starters even the average person can see a Cumulonimbus cloud in the sky and make a good guess that it will ran so they can have an umbrella prepared or buy one. The weather USED to be just like the god idea because we didn't know what causes the weather and used to believe that gods were behind the rain etc.

But now that we have proven methods that help us study and understand the weather our predictions are as close to accurate as we possibly can be and we're never not informed should we choose to be.

"God" is a completely different subject now. Because again we have no real basis to start looking and there's no hypothesis to get us going.

Now stop.
