• 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.

The goal seems tending toward the middle, although I'd say our fullest realization of our humanity is in a state of being-toward-becoming.
Not sex? Are we not, insofar as our essence can be understood by it's causes, vehicles for the transmission of genetic material? Or would that be to give nature and our "natural being" a purpose, rather than find purpose ourselves as we needs must?

Unless you're really bad at it, sex is quite the becoming activity. :)

It seems like you're looking at a different level than I am. I would say, according to evolution, then we are gene machines, the goal of our physical being a propagation of genes. However, I think we're more than reducible to this level. Even without any other level, stuck just with an evolutionary paradigm, consciousness seems to screw up the gene propagation scheme anyways.
