• 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.

Quantum Superposition, Simulations, Simulated realities, and other thoughts.

According to evolution, they're called "wise men" ... or Homo sapiens in the documents.

And according to Paul, that's a no-no.
Not sure why you're telling me this. I think you know the sense in which I used the word intelligent. I'm sure you also know that intelligence and wisdom are two different things. But I always liked Fr. Alexander Schmemann's statement that we are first and foremost homo adorans, or worshipping man.

Depends on the object of our worship.

Not exactly the same thing is it?

I'm probably not going to hit a second puberty and become a god.
Certainly not exactly the same, but it has something in common which is unique.
