• 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.

It seems pretty reasonable to refer to rogue terrorist nations as Satan. I don't know that they really could have picked a better two as their examples.

Yes, AV, we know you are fiercely pro-Israel. But I hope you understand that the Greater Satan and Lesser Satan in Muslim rhetoric is a political notion, and not a religious one. And a recent notion at that. The alleged "satans" have shifted around a lot over the years. Not long ago, the Lesser Satan was the Soviet Union. France has also had satanic status for a while.

I just feel as though a country that harbors known terrorists and provides weapons to terrorists should be considered a rogue terrorist state. I understand that you support terrorism. I don't.

Only Muhammed wasn't converting Christians, he was converting the Persians.


This infuriated him, and the man who once embraced Christianity now became one of its biggest adversaries.

Muhammed never "embraced" Christianity. What have you been smoking?

Why do you think they call us the Great Satan today?

Because we plant military bases on their holy lands?

He didn't, huh? What are these?

You could start by descibing environments, locations, recording vitals, and objective behavior during/involving mystic or religious experiences.
Oh, my -- I'll try.

I'm not sure what good that will do, but for what it's worth:
