• 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.

Pro-Choice?

So, those are your distinctions. The dog owner says, "Who cares about conscientiousness, I OWN THAT THING! Besides, it is a vastly overpopulated animal, who cares!"

Meanwhile you say, "Who cares, it has no consciousness therefore I should be able to do whatever I want."

Either way, you are both the same criminal. You both ended something that was alive, regardless of what you consider worthy of life.

OK DARN IT!!! I HAVE TO GO!!! grrrr :)
A first-trimester fetus is not alive, though. Sure, its heart is beating, but all that takes is an electrical current. I could hook up a cow's heart from the butcher shop to a car battery, and that would make the heart start beating. Does that, in your opinion, mean that the battery is alive?

Confess,

The sad reality is, these people care MUCH more about dogs than they do for human life. :(
Actually, I care greatly for human life, I just care more about born people than I do about pre-born fetuses.

So you said something about her beliefs without knowing if she believed it or not? After all, one would assume that since you made the comment, you'd expect it to be true... So why are you shocked when she says it is true? Or were you saying something that you were under the impression was false, or a lie?

What I said was a figure of speech.
I honestly did not expect that she truly believes it.

I hope you've never used antibiotics. If so, you're a murderer, too, based on your own logic.

You also care more about redwood trees than about pre-born fetuses

Ah, I see you want to engage in personal attacks. How nice. BTW, I could just as easily say you stop caring about women's right to life as soon as they're born.

I challenge you to try. If you can do it "easily," it shouldn't take long.

I'll check back in five minutes.

I know this wasn't directed to me, but here: you stop caring about women's right to life as soon as they're born.

That wasn't difficult at all. :)

EDIT: Oh, and if you attempt to report me on account of this post (though I see nothing worthy of reporting in it), it will just prove that you have no argument beyond trying to get those who don't agree with you to stop posting.

It's a figure of speech. And I have a feeling you're just trying to bait me so you can report me or something. My point was if you're going to engage in ludicrous personal attacks, be prepared to be called out on your own extreme opinions.

Thanks. :)

I realize Jesus said His true followers would be hated by the world, but I don't believe He meant for Christians to go around actively antagonizing people and trying to be deliberately offensive.

Where did I personally attack anyone?
