  • 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

Your reasoning of God is to be contrary for you don't want God to get in you way . For what ever reason I don't know. There can only be two people that doesn't believe in God. A fool which i don't believe you are or you just want your way.( fine) live it your way.You know that even demons believe in God.If you don't chose you still have made a choice and the world will chose for you.

No, it's cool. I didn't want a rational response to my points anyway.

What proof of evolution

This tells me everything i need to know. You've clearly never made an effort to learn. At least if you had, you could have disputed the evidence, instead of denying it exists altogether. I'm sure God is proud of your ignorance.

You are wrong about only two type of people not believing in God. There is no evidence that god exists, and no reason why people should believe in your god over any other. It is interesting that the more educated that people become, the more likely it becomes that they are agnostic or atheistic.

As for demons, should they exist, it makes perfect sense that they would believe in God since they have knowledge that he exists. No one on earth, however, has any verifiable evidence that god actually exists; that is why the Bible says you need to have faith.

I can think of one method offhand to measure goodness.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail said:
BEDEMIR: Quiet, quiet. Quiet! There are ways of telling whether she is a witch.
CROWD: Are there? What are they?
BEDEMIR: Tell me, what do you do with witches?
VILLAGER #2: Burn!
CROWD: Burn, burn them up!
BEDEMIR: And what do you burn apart from witches?
VILLAGER #1: More witches!
VILLAGER #2: Wood!
BEDEMIR: So, why do witches burn?
[pause]
VILLAGER #3: B--... 'cause they're made of wood...?
BEDEMIR: Good!
CROWD: Oh yeah, yeah...
BEDEMIR: So, how do we tell whether she is made of wood?
VILLAGER #1: Build a bridge out of her.
BEDEMIR: Ah, but can you not also build bridges out of stone?
VILLAGER #2: Oh, yeah.
BEDEMIR: Does wood sink in water?
VILLAGER #1: No, no.
VILLAGER #2: It floats! It floats!
VILLAGER #1: Throw her into the pond!
CROWD: The pond!
BEDEMIR: What also floats in water?
VILLAGER #1: Bread!
VILLAGER #2: Apples!
VILLAGER #3: Very small rocks!
VILLAGER #1: Cider!
VILLAGER #2: Great gravy!
VILLAGER #1: Cherries!
VILLAGER #2: Mud!
VILLAGER #3: Churches -- churches!
VILLAGER #2: Lead -- lead!
ARTHUR: A duck.
CROWD: Oooh.
BEDEMIR: Exactly! So, logically...,
VILLAGER #1: If... she.. weighs the same as a duck, she's made of wood.
BEDEMIR: And therefore--?
VILLAGER #1: A witch!
CROWD: A witch!

Of course, your mileage may vary. ^_^
