• 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.

what the heck is this for

Fight Club is my favorite movie.

"Maybe self-destruction is the answer." ;)

I do not believe so.
Well, I'll admit Fight Club was a good movie, but only the first time you watch it.

As for the next to remarks, a good place to start is the Bible. Do you believe it is God breathed and absolute truth?

Since this sight is called "Christian Forums", what are you seeking here? Maybe I can help.

I've seen it like a billion times, and I still love that movie.

No.

I was a Christian when I joined up. Since then, I have abandoned the faith, and though I am not a believer anymore, Christian theology continues to interest me.

Maybe I can help.
I'd say that depends on your definition of "help."

Well, I believe once a Christian, always a Christian, but only God is the true judge of what's in your heart.

So you don't believe the Bible, what do you believe in? Do you still believe there is one god?

I believe in what we can observe. Everything that exists, everything that happens has a natural explanation.

Do you still believe there is one god?
No.

Honestly, I regret having chosen the agnostic faith icon over the atheist icon. Looking back, I realize my choice was influenced by fear; I thought it prudent to at least leave my options open, so to speak, rather than outright deny the existence of a god, so that way maybe if I was wrong he'd be less [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse]ed off at me in the end. Maybe I'd burn a little less hot when I got to hell, you know.

Now, I'm not scared anymore. I am proud to say that I do not believe in the existence of any god. I am an atheist.
