• 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.

What do you suppose is the
psychology behind the preference
for woo woo over reality?
It's the sense of being amongst the Enlightened, the Happy Few who know the real story., that Those People Are Trying to Conceal. Now just why "Those People" are trying to conceal so much for no discernible reason or benefit to anyone is a mystery in itself. The stock answer is "To deceive us". But the deception doesn't appear to be directed toward any particular goal, but instead is an end in itself. They want to deceive us because that's what they do. So the goal of the Enlightened is to simply gainsay anything that They tell us. So if They say ther earth is spherical, then it must really be flat. It They say there's no proof of ET aiens/demons swarmng the skies, that means aliens/demons in flying saucers are almost a menace to navigation. No giants? There are surely some buried in your back yard. "Sons of God" has to really mean "Bad Angels"

200 mpg carbureters. Electricity from the air. The Philospher's Stone. HAARP and the CERN Supercollider. Covid was a hoax. (Or was caused by eating bats.) Area 51. The Denver Airport tunnels. Chemtrails. Ad infinitum, ad nauseum.

Purely off topic here, but.... if you "don't want anything from the Bible" why do you come to a Christian forum where the vast majority of us are going to hold the Bible as our go to text for truth?
C;mon, Jack, you didn't get your "flat earth" stuff or disbelief in the existence of gravity from the Bible.

Well, one of the reasons God brought this 2nd world earth age was to separate those who want to be with Him for the eternity, and those who are rebellious that think they can be their own god.
Whassat got to do with embracing conspiracy siliness, or "they're all just trying to deceive us " claptrap?

It's creationists who are incapable of honest investigation.
Casting too wide a loop here, I think. A good many scientists who have fully believed that God creted the universe have spent their lives in research to discoverer the inexhaustable marvels of that creation. The greatest scientist of them all, Isaac Newton, was a devout Christian and a creationist.
