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.

Young people suffer from the crazy idea that their life is endless, only time can confirm that it's not.That is funny you should say that, I was just telling my husband yesterday that I didn't appreciate being young and having good health. Yet, I can't even complain now because for the most part I have been healthy most of my life. Now if the biopsy comes back with good news I can get on with it.
PS. Religions were thought up by older people, by people who could see the end approaching, young people have no need of an after life if they think the one they have now is endless.

I tend to agree that you can't blame a specific age group. Mythologising is a human habit and is just as prevalent among the young as the old. Looking at a specific case, Joseph Smith wrote the book of mormon when he was just 24 according to wikipedia. He thought angels were dictating to him, which always makes me smile.

Like I said, God put a place into all mankind for Him. I don't smile about Joseph Smith because it is just as I said, Satan tries to pull mankind from the Bible and God.

it's also common across cultures, i would go so far to say it's common to humanity itself.
it's commonly stated that most scientists don't believe in a god, but i would guess that the vast majority of them believe humanity is more than what can be explained by physical laws.
there has to be a reason for this kind of common belief, fads do not become global and persist for centuries.
it also can't be entirely imaginary either, because we have such things as the placebo effect.
don't get me wrong, i don't have a "side", i'm merely pointing out the facts here.

Why is Satan more powerful than your God? either that or your God does not care
Smith had been a con man for a long time before he had the idea to start a religion.

I asked you a question and you answered with a question, why would you do that? I know why you would but I want you to ask yourself why you would.

What gave you that idea? was it the word Atheist written alongside the word Faith: in the section on the right?

It was just a hunch. I didn't read the section on the right.
Would you like to answer the question?

Do you believe in God and Satan is my question. There were other questions from other posters though.

It was an observation... are you going to answer the question...?
No I'm not because I don't want to confuse you even more than you are already.
