• 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.

Maybe the same world. The names of people I once knew are changed.

I think everyone is affected. Check for yourself.
That's (impossibly) convenient. Landmasses which influence climate moved or suddenly appeared, yet the climate stayed the same. Places where historical events happened and noteworthy people came from didn't exist, yet the influences of those events and people are still evident.

Try thinking through the implications of your claims, then consider the implications of fallible memory. Which is honestly the most likely explanation?

Likely is not applicable.

Only what is.
Interesting that you completely ignored the points I made in my post. You claim the impossible, then assert that the impossible must be right because.... well, just because. Plausible explanations are dismissed probably because they would make you a normal person rather than the special one you want to be.

By forgiving, by tolerating, I create the karma I need.

Again, this doesn't seem like any kind of answer. Are meaningless slogans all you have?

By the way, you have STILL not provided any example of a post where your argument wasn't some form of, "Because I believe it very strongly." Shall I assume you have withdrawn your claims I have used a strawman argument against you?

Faiyum has a history. So?

So, isn't it odd that the only people who don't remember it live far away from it and never have to think about it during their day to day lives? How come there are no examples of people waking up one day and noticing a huge landmark in their own backyard that was never there before?

Well, you seem completely incapable of showing that my argument against you is a strawman. Or do you think making claims is all you need to do in order to provide a convincing argument?

Enough.

It has influenced history. In your world without Faiyum history would be different. I keep asking you to tell us about the differences but you seem incapable of doing so. It's almost as if you have no memory of the differences.......
