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

What does it matter to you if that's what some people want to believe?
Because I can’t help myself when someone is wrong in the internet. ;):cool:

That must be the reason why you never argue with me.
I have argued with you. Are you still sore? Why would you seek me out in this thread? Is there anything you need or want to talk about?

Their belief requires that they vilify the majority of Christians. That is not a spiritually healthy place to be.

Twas just a joke my friend. The premise of the joke is I supposedly think I'm always right. And I didn't seek you out. I just opened a thread.

No objection to your statement really, I conclusively agree with you... but are you kidding? lol

It means everything to them. If others do not agree with them then something is challenging a fragile foundation based on propaganda and repetition. Only those who can't accept they can be deceived must fight information that threatens to undermine shaky pillars.

In other words, the ego can't look outside of the box and people are trying to force them to do so.. but alas...... it is just too scary to do and all opposition must be silenced.

Admitting one could be wrong? That is what I was asking if you were kidding about. No, that will always matter to them. Of course, conceptually your sentiment is spot on.. they shouldn't care if they stood on concrete foundations that cannot be shaken. The disagreeing without looking deeper is easier on the ego than to consider the alternative and to actually look. Just "feels" better to "know" that you could "never" be deceived so immensely.

Oh and by the way, I mean all of that in the most friendly manner possible. I just think it suspicious that people must silence opposition that they claim has nothing of truth underpinning it.

If... that were true, there would be no need to oppose it so exhaustively. Not to mention, and even more importantly, it is not a salvation issue and therefore the need to engage and disprove it carries no weight eternally if it were true or not.

Before I suspected there was any truth to anything besides the general narrative, I wasn't so offended nor concerned about people saying such things. Which is what is so suspect. Why is anyone at all? (full circle back to Servus statement)
