  • 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

He speaks on god’s behalf.

People have claimed to be speaking on God's behalf when they've said things, and other people who have also claimed to be speaking on God's behalf have said those first people were wrong.

The "I'm speaking on God's behalf" thing would be a lot more convincing if everyone who claimed to be speaking on God's behalf all said the same thing.

But they don't.

I mean, how many presidential candidates said, "God told me he wanted me to be president"?

Like when we all agree: IN THE BEGINNING, GOD?

Doesn't convince you that much, does it?

Do you think that agreeing on one thing somehow means that all the many things you guys DISagree on don't matter?

When someone demonstrates that 100% agreement on something doesn't mean anything, then it doesn't matter how many non-disagreements follow, does it?

Are you an atheist because Christian don't have 100% agreement on speaking in tongues?

I doubt it.

Are you an atheist because Christians have 100% agreement on IN THE BEGINNING GOD?

Obviously not.

So either way, you're an atheist.

And bringing up our differences is just blowing smoke.

So when all Christians agree on a thing, you hold it up and proclaim loudly for all to hear, "Look! This is proof that we have it right!"

But when it comes to things that Christians disagree on, you say, "You can't use that as proof for anything!"

Careful there, AV, your double standard is showing.

It sure comes across that way. Many times have you embraced a line of reasoning when it supports your position, yet when the same reason can be used against your position, you ignore it. Surely the validity comes from the strength of the reasoning, not what position it supports, yes?
