  • 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.

I do wish you'd actually listen to what people say, instead of trying to evangelize them to death.

If you actually took the time to listen to me, it would be pretty clear I'm never coming back to the lord. When you're preaching to people, it would help to actually interact with the person you're talking too, instead of it being a one sided conversation.

I still have hope that you would, but hey it's your choice, just was wondering if you ever did that, I do listen to you though, but the thing is I want you to experience what true christianity is, why did you leave again ?

Why did I leave? It was a mixture of finding out I never had a good reason to believe in the first place, and the religion exasperating my emotional masochism to very unhealthy levels.

Not had, still have...

I used the religion to feel bad about myself, and towards the end of it, the exploitation became too much.

There are actually a few books about Christianity and sadomasochism, if you ever want to get a better idea of my perceptions on the religion. I'm not saying everything is accurate, but from what I've read, it's actually pretty close.

It's also why I chuckle when people say I need the love of Jesus, I can say to the bottom of my heart, that that sentiment is meaningless to me. I was a liberal Christian briefly, to please the hypocrites around me, but found it emotionally unfulfilling and quickly dropped it. I also laugh at the times atheists told me I only believed in God because I wanted to live in a happy and fluffy version of reality, when in reality the opposite was the case.

Yeah and I was able to diagnose all my *divine emotions and feelings* and got emotional S&M.

The only reason I came to the conclusion I liked emotional pain was by asking the question why religion messed me up so badly. It became very obvious I used it as a vehicle to mentally torture myself. My eyes were fully opened that day.

And yes, it has played into my skepticism of Christianity.

well if you have been through the divine experiences I have been through, there would be no doubt in your mind, and you know for days once a demon that looked like a black shadow, put bad thoughts into my head, and it was the only thing I could think of I couldn't think of anything else for days, and you know what the thoughts were curse words against the holy spirit, so yeah that lasted for a while, and I would have no reason to think of things like that myself, every second of the day all day long, but it did make me sick soon after, and even sick to my stomach, so yeah I know Jesus is true, I don't just think or believe, I know

how could they be modded ? do you see anything wrong with them? this is a adult forum you know ?

One of the memes contains a four letter word. It's true this forum is for people above the age of 18, but that doesn't mean you can just post sexually explicit material. I'm not even saying it will get you modded, I'm just telling you to watch what you post.

I like your presence here, and wouldn't like to see you be banned for a little while.

Also what kind of example does that show? You mainly evangelize people here, yet your conduct is far from appropriate.

Yeah, and I'd tell you to be more skeptical about these experiences. Analyze these emotions and feelings more deeply. You may be surprised with what you find. I certainly was surprised with what I found in my faith.

Yeah, and people from different religions claim the same things. You should try taking acid and see what happens...

I'm not saying you're experiences are not genuine, I'm just saying it wouldn't hurt to analyze them a little more closely. The brain can do pretty trippy stuff, believe me I know.
