  • 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

    Be sure to credit AI when copying and pasting AI sources. Link to the site of the AI search, just like linking to an article.

I agree (I think). That is why I said human overpopulation is a myth. Given that Man is fallen, I'm not sure how much faith you can put in humanity, though.

Humanity is God's creation. The world is ours to do with as we please. Like you point out, the resources are there for us to use or misuse as we please.

No, it teaches families to do more with less and not expect to have everything. That is what having many children does. They learn to be less selfish.

Though it could go the other way. I'm sure some people who have always had to share, and make do with hand-me-downs have become more acquisitive and materialistic. Depends on the individual, I think.

A consequence is less demand for material objects.

Now why would you want to ruin the economies of China, Japan, Taiwan, Malaysia, Mexico... ;)
