• 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.

That's about it, though. When you start getting into the details there are huge levels of dissonance among different creationist beliefs.

It gets even worse when creationists start arguing in favor of a deceptive universe.

And if 100% consensus doesn't mean anything, then please don't throw dissensus at us like it means something.

It does mean something when creationists are trying to argue that their beliefs are absolute.

The fact creationists can't agree on even some relatively basic ideas (including how old things are supposed to be) suggests that maybe said beliefs aren't so absolute after all.

What's that to you though?

You're just a bystander listening to two (or more) people arguing over their respective beliefs.

If I argue with someone else over what martial arts is the greatest, would you believe martial arts exists?

Sidebar: David was a martial artist.

Psalm 144:1 Blessed be the LORD my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:

Because creationists are trying to argue against science in that regard.

So it's blasphemy for people who've never heard the stories in your scriptures or heard of your god to have their own legends and myths?

Yes.

Just like adultery is a sin, even if someone doesn't know the Ten Commandments.

And let me reiterate: God put the plan of salvation in the stars.
