  • 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.

to deny that something miraculous happend 2000 years ago is to deny reality. obviously something must of happend for Christianity to have spread throughout the world. to start from a group of disciples to religion with over a billion followers, there has to be something powerful behind this. can anyone explain how Christianity was not only preserved but spread thoughout the world the way it has? why did Christianity manage to stay around while Roman and Greek mythology disappeared? what is so special about Christianity that it managed to stand the test of time?

to deny that something miraculous happend 1400 years ago is to deny reality. obviously something must of happend for Islam to have spread throughout the world. to start from a group of disciples to religion with over a billion followers, there has to be something powerful behind this. can anyone explain how Islam was not only preserved but spread thoughout the world the way it has? why did Islam manage to stay around while Roman and Greek mythology disappeared? what is so special about Islam that it managed to stand the test of time?

For added fun, plug in Hinduism or Zoroasterism (sp?) to see why this non-arguement is bogus.:cool:
