  • 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

And you criticize me for mis-spellings.

Since you havent provided a link, you cannot exhonorate yourself of this charge

There is no mis-spelling, one who makes bogus claims and has not the honor, dignity, nor integrity to retract them is sleezy in the opinion of most.

To see your cohorts rally around to defend you only soils their own credibility.

You have the links (post 41 or 51) you can clearly see what i copied and pasted was word for word what was posted. The list in question states that the page numbers are from the DSM, I urge you go back and read it although I know your pride will prevent you from taking any honorable actions. Until such time as you show a glimmer of integrity, you will be considered sleezie.

I am filled with the love of God for those who have earned it and deserve it. But you wouldn't know about that.
PENALTY!

You cannot "earn" much less "deserve" the love of God.

It is the love of God which surrounds each and every one of us. And because he first loved us, we are able to love.

Don't you DARE claim that somebody, anybody, needs to earn God's love. Paul clearly states that NOTHING will ever separate us from the love of God.

are you promoting universal salvation or something? Paul was addressing believers, not the lovers of darkness.

And as to works, you may have a debate with Catholics and others....

You are simply wrong. Repent so that you may earn God's favor and love.

I'm willing to bet a large sum that his "obviously superior" citizens are white, christian men.

Are you honestly saying that you can not look out into the world and see that certain me are obviously better then others? Some men are given higher purposes while others waist away on drugs? Some men are successful while others can't even keep a job and are forced to sell drugs to others? Some men go on to a higher set of morals while others wallow away in crime and depravity killing babies for fun and others for profit?

And then you dare say that there are not superior men out there? These people deserve God's rights and love and only these people.

I've managed to go this whole time without resorting to personal attacks, I think you can too.

You have the links (post 41 or 51) you can clearly see what i copied and pasted was word for word what was posted.
You linked to Google, not to the page where you coppied and pasted it from. I found a site that was similar and said similar things, however it does not make that information right.

The list in question states that the page numbers are from the DSM, I urge you go back and read it
I HAVE read the DSM and it says NOTHING about homosexuality

Read it for yourself http://www.behavenet.com/capsules/disorders/dsm4TRclassification.htm

The information you posted is incorrect. Homosexuality is not in the DSM and hasnt been since 1973.

you doubt the sincerity of IslamOnLine? :bow:
What does IslamonLine have to do with this?

On what do you base this claim of bias? :scratch:
The CWA is an anti-gay group. When citing sources that have a declared agenda, it is advisable to double check the veracity of the claim. I wouldn't trust a report from crooksandliars.com concerning anything a Republican does without looking at their source info and any other sources I could find to make sure that what they are saying is the truth.

But you are ducking the question. You stated that the makers of that list were 'experts'. How many psychiatrists are on the board of CWA? How many psychiatrists are listed as contractors to the CWA? What claim do they have to the term 'expert' when dealing with human sexuality?

Perhaps you need to reread the parable of the Good Samaritan and ponder the meaning thereof, you seem to have misunderstood Christ's message. You might also want to look at Matthew 25:35.

The results include many Christian sites with this information, but seeing as how many instantly discredit anything coming from a Christian site, here's the same info from an Islamic website

You've got to be kidding me. :doh:

That's like saying, 'seeing as how many instantly discredit anthing coming from the KKK, here's the same info about how evil the Jews are from Hamas.'

You may well have more than one source that has no desire to actually look at the issue, and bases its conclusions on fairy stories and not on science or reason. That doesn't make any of them right.

What a bunch of lazy buggerers one could assume there are here. Can't even bother to read a link, just claim it's fake in order to not admit when they are wrong.

You did not, as requested, post the source of information which you called expert opinion. You posted a link to a google results page listing 23 results for a partial search.

You also linked to an Islam Online Article where that list formed an appendix to an article by Robert H. Knight (or are you claiming you took it from Islam Online, the formatting would tend to disagree with you).

Anyway, did Mr Knight (Bsc in political science and Ma) produce the list you called expert opinion?

The list was compiled by the APA, you know the professionals know what they are talking about.

So you here claim the source of that list is the APA?

If this is the case, you should not have any difficulty in providing actual evidence; not, I hasten to add, that parts of the list are taken from a publication of theirs, but that the list which you posted as expert opinion was put together by the APA as an index of sexual orientation.


the author of the article linked to is Robert H. Knight, a former editor and writer for the Los Angeles Timesand former Hoover Institution Media Fellow. He is the author of The Age of Consent: The Rise of Relativism and the Corruption of Popular Culture (Spence Publishing, 1998, 2000).

Thank you, however, the article is not the issue in question, the list (which you claimed above that the APA put the together) is.

Did Mr Knight (Ma) put it together, or did the APA?


I added nothing to the text cited. I fabricated nothing. I manufactured nothing. I have falsified nothing.


You claimed that list was “what the experts say” with regard to sexual orientation (Post 26), you claimed that “The APA includes paraphilias as sexual orientations” (Post 29), you said “My post cited the sources of the information.” (Post 49), you re-asserted that of the items on that list “All are sexual orientations” (Post 56).

These claims are largely unevidenced; myself, I would go so far as to call them false.

There's really not much lower than a person who disparages others and refuses to admit when they have made a mistake. What a truly sad and pathetic little creature.

Finally, something you and I can agree about, but I’m optimistic that, unlike your sexual orientation (hetero, right?), you might be able to change this.
