• 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.

The last paragraph completely nullifies your complaint that he was insulting your intelligence by attempt to come up with a solid definition rather than an undefined intuitive feeling for what they mean.

Uh...no it doesn't. My "complaint" as you call it is just as valid as your insensitive rant.

Undefined intuitive feelings can be quite complex, which is why it is important to try to precisely pin down what words mean. Otherwise you are not really talking to people, you are just talking past them.

These are not personal beliefs, these are intolerant opinions about the personal beliefs of the majority of Christendom.

What??? How are my personal beliefs "intolerant opinions about the personal beliefs of the majority of Christendom"? Where in my post did I show ANY amount of intolerance?

And since when did the majority of Christendom pray to saints???


Asking people to pray for you is a sin?

Don't even bother to reply if you can't even read my posts properly. NOWHERE did I say that asking someone to pray for you is a sin.

I don't pray to saints,

So what's the problem?

I don't pray at all for the most part,

So why are you attacking me over something that you yourself do not do???


I'm too modest to ask God for stuff,

PFFT. That's a good one.

I don't see any difference at all here, and based on what you are saying this extremely common act that I do is just as much of a blasphemy as the propitiation of saints.

As far as I know, what you do is NOT a common act. I would be quite discouraged if it was.


You would probably call what I do ancestor worship.

Okay, what is this even supposed to mean?
