  • 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

True atheists?

To believe in true dogmatic atheism one must profess virtual omniscience in all areas to be certain that God does not exist. This is quite foolish.

Where are you getting your information? What dogma is attached to atheism? It's simply a non belief in any diety.

Yet, I see this CF faith(less) icon floating around the forums.

I bet the vast majority (if not all) of these supposed atheists are actually masked agnostics. Why are they afraid to call themselves agnostics?

I don't think this is true at all. While I am an atheist and do not believe in a diety, as a scientist, I must be able to evaluate every theory. That does not mean that I believe it a god. Just that the postulation is plausible although highly unlikely.

I'd say it's impossible if it is internally inconsistant...

I mean, isn't that how we have established there are no square circles? No even prime numbers greater than two?

Heck, we can prove that we don't have elephants inside our heads by the same logic...
