  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Same right for every couple!

We are ready for your organized, homogenized humanist campaign to wipe us away and to subjugate us. Prop 8 is more about drawing lines and protecting our families from your hedonistic goals than it is to stop gays from doing what they do.
'Proposition 8 is a California State ballot proposition that would amend the state Constitution to restrict the definition of marriage to a union between a man and a woman.' (source). For those worried about children being taught about same-sex couples in the public school system, you're always free to remove your children from said discussions, or change schools completely, just as anyone else who has 'difficulties' with certain things being taught, like racial equality, equality between men and women, sex education, scientific theory, etc. Furthermore, if that really is what you're worried about, why not take that matter specifically to your representatives?

Well said, and I wish them good luck with that since they are going to need it.

Prop 8 does not change anything that is taught in schools all it does is define what marriage is in your antiquated world. We are sick of ignorant bible thumpers

Spare me your rote and narrow-minded ignorance.

. . . trying to control social and scientific progress and with our new presidential administration the science part will be allowed to flourish once again since every repub president constrains scientific progress and now the only thing left is social progress which will not be far behind especially since your precious prop 8 is due to be overturned just as the CA Supreme Court has previously alluded to.

So then its OK if Atheists try to control society? How marxist of you. How many Evangelicals broke for Obama? 29%. Your big red nose is showing.

Science? Bring it on. Biology and physiology support the Biblical concept of sexual morality and mock your perversion of both moral decency and scientific facts.

Sodomy is practiced by heterosexual couples as much or more than homosexual couples and if you are not one of them then you have my sympathy, I happen to love two of the three definitions of sodomy as has every woman I have dated.

Catch up on progress will you. "Sodomy" is not just about sex acts, it's about inhospitality and haughtiness. Thye educated among us are leading the way. You may need to more over as your world is passed by.

Separation of Church and State was written about by every one of the Founding Fathers and it was of prime importance to them.

And they made sure that religious freedom is paramount to their new world order. They know who and what drives a healthy world. I guess you don't read much.

We are sick of you attempting to control the masses by a book that is beyond laughable,

Who's the we? A couple of college sophmores desiring porn and brewski's are hardly an enlightened group these days. Your time has come and gone. Even the Humanists are carping acceptance of those that believe in a religion as valuable, and Gays are starting Churches and religious outreach organizations for their community. Your era is darkening and that is a laugh. And what a bummer huh, Starbucks is closing stores nationwide. Well, you do still have the internet. 0 x 0 = atheism and that is laughable beyond any doubt. Dawkins and Hitchens are just not creating the revival they thought they would. They just know how to make a bunch of money from bored college kids. Hucksters with PhD's are still hucksters. Marilyn Manson's with tenure and ego.

. . . yes there are obviously stupid people that require control in their lives which is a prime example of needing more chlorine in the gene pool.

DNA mocks your nongodian approach to life as much as math does.

You remind me allot of my future father-in-law who refuses to associate with his own daughter because she wants to marry an atheist.

I married an atheist.

How do those close-minded ignorant shoes taste? I've never tried one.

I wish you could here my laughter. I love a good joke and your positions are like watching high-quality slapstick.




:groupray:-----This is why pity has replaced fear. Let's pray for him anyway.

Why don't you explain that bit of nonsense to me. Not only do we have hybridized DNA from Homo Sapien SapienXHomo Neanderthalensis we also have left over DNA from many other species that are our ancestors, so how does DNA prove your hypothesis?

Welllllll talk about nit-pick huh? I could almost hear your stammering and stuttering as you entered this thread. Most Christians finish school "dude."

At least seperating the wheat from the chaff isn't lost to your mind.

Our "ancestors?"

Math pal. Math. Life is complex. Even you secular's know that at least. We didn't get here from 0 x 0. Time to "move on" Ophi.

Guess I'm gunna have to repost my brutal, unleashed expose on the rationality of your secularism. I'm not to cool with letting you off the hook as you tried to do with your Homo Sapien employed spin tactic.

Elton John is ringing in my ears, a song written by Bernie Taupin

You could never know what it's like
Your blood like winter freezes just like ice
And there's a cold lonely light that shines from you
You'll wind up like the wreck you hide behind that mask you use

And did you think this fool could never win
Well look at me, I'm coming back again
I got a taste of love in a simple way
And if you need to know while I'm still standing you just fade away

Don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did
Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid
I'm still standing after all this time
Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind

I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah
I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah

Once I never could hope to win
You starting down the road leaving me again
The threats you made were meant to cut me down
And if our love was just a circus you'd be a clown by now

-I'm Still Standing

-Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
Available on the album Too Low For Zero

"Too low for zero!!!!!"

I'm hurtin' myself.:ebil::cry:

I gotta stop for a little while.

But they say laughter adds years to your life, so please stick around.

Finish school, it sounds like none of you actually have and of course you did not answer my question, we have shared DNA with other species that we descended from, now try some logic since you obviously do not grasp the significance of shared DNA between species within the Genus Homo.

Oh and I guess my Ph.d from UC Berkeley does not qualify as finishing school since we all know how liberal (socialist in Repub speak) it is.

0X0 is not even a logical response but again we know that you are not one for logic and where would this move on you speak of, be, if you don't like my posts then do not read them because I am not leaving.



Homo Sapien spin tactic, according to your bible we are of gods design so then how could we possibly be the hybridized product of two entirely separate species of Homonid which we just so happen to be.

Go ahead and post your illogical expose' and lets see just how good of a laugh we get out of non-science based science.


And I must say that I derive great joy in knowing that your tax dollars go to fund my research and pay my salary, how you must hate that especially knowing that I will get a bigger chunk of it now that we have a Democrat as President.

Shared DNA? Isn't that to be expected since all life - as in life forms - come from the same place? I'm guessing here that you believe all life on earth "came from" earth. You could be one of those alines seeded earth dudes.

I mean aren't we lessor or greater than a potato? DNA wise?

Chromosomes are known to break and form two or more new chromosomes, or fuse into one. The chromosomes of the potato and the potato lineage may have undergone many such changes, and the human lineage may have undergone a different series, resulting in the potato having more chromosomes. The number of chromosomes of a species has little to do with the complexity of the organism or the amount of DNA.

And, though I am no geneticist, when studied, isn't there almost infinite numbers now seen on the double helix? We're not "as close as" we think to other species right? It's like almost being alive. And why is it Doc, that a supposedly incredibly tiny amount of difference (says you) in the DNA of an ape and a human, doesn't produce some mutation throw-backs every now and then of a human woman giving birth to a full-blown chimp? I mean my son has a heck of lot more hair on his back than I do! But, he still "looks" fully human. Far as I can tell. Like I said I am not a geneticist. I'd send you some of his cheek cells but I don't really care to know you in real life. And who knows, what you'ld really do with them. I can't afford a twin right now.

Oh and I guess my Ph.d from UC Berkeley does not qualify as finishing school since we all know how liberal (socialist in Repub speak) it is.

OMG!!!

PhD from Berkely. I'm sorry, excuse me. American. Ph.d.

Cliche, rote, and PC ideology all in one place.

Yur, killin' me, yur, killin' me.^_^/:D

Sorry, Polycarp_fan, I simply do not understand your arguments.

How is a same-sex-couple wanting FOR THEMSELVES the same rights that every other dedicated couple has "controlling society". What has that to do with Atheism?

At least people with PhDs from Berkeley can spell the name of their university, Polycarp_fan.

Ahhhh, did I misspell Birklee. Uh, Berkeley?

Fruedian slip I'm sure.

I always feel so safe in your english studies classroom Cantata.

Dangit!

In California?

In California, what state rep do you take the issue of opposing gay sex to?

Or what appellate court?

From the Prop 8 people:

It's all about schools.

This is the second time that you have misused Freudian slip as well.
A misspelling of a word is a typo.

A Freudian slip is when something that you are suppressing comes out.

Example: In a 1960s blooper real, a woman with a huge bust, and showing cleavage, was kneading dough. The announcer said, "Tastee bread is the breast bed, uh, BEST BREAD in the nation..."

A camp counselor that I knew was really nervous that he was going to say something stupid when he had to speak to a congregation. He said, "What if I say "hell", like "what the hell was he thinking" and shock everyone? What if my offend people by something that slips out?" He ended up saying, "In the name of the Father, Son and Holy sh*t - SPIRIT!"

That's a Freudian Slip - unconsciously unintentionally revealing something that was in your head.

Hmm, like how unimportant Berekely is to me? Like giving a crap whether or not I spell that den of iniquity correctly? Or how about my feelings towards a PhD earned there? Like that an education does not always open the mind. And some, like Berekely's methodically close them?

That kind of Freudian slip?

Again, typo's aside, I'm thinking I got the concept and defintion down pat.

Do you know how degrading it is when you constantly have to announce that you don´t care about this and that, whatever your opponent just stated?

But I guess you also don´t care about what other people think about you, or what they tell you, or what they ask you.

Typos. There is never an apostrophe in a plural, with the possible exception of "do's" as in "do's and don'ts", and even that is controversial.
Yeah. While "do's" seems to be the more popular spelling, I have never seen a rule that validates it. Yet that's the way I prefer spell it. In my opinion it simply looks better---familiarity breeds contentment. Or some such nonsense.
