  • 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

Yes, this is the event that spurred many atheists to take note on feminism and begin to encounter it's ugly messages.

I remember this event well.

Sadly it's what eventually led me to discovering tumblr.

The ugly messages of Dawkins or the ugly messages of feminism?

I really need to hold my tongue here.

Yeah.
Too bad that's all Gandhi saw back then from Christians. Definitely not those who sacrificed their lives to open orphanages and schools and spread the gospel while having knives swinging around their necks.


So are these faux liberals some sort of conservative?

No... Well...
It's hard to say because everyone's different.

Dawkins, feminism, and tumblr doesn't sound like they would all mix very well.

Feminism, elevator-gate..

It opened many of our eyes to how crazy and out of touch many feminists are.

Sometimes I worry I am a faux liberal.

I do have my kink shaming moments.. pretty bad considering how I'll berate anyone who dares to criticize s/m, yet when it comes to other things I have a hard time caring..

I've never been in an environment where liberalism was prized. I'm used to people trying to be more conservative than one another, but nobody wants to be seen as liberal. The idea of liberalism being so prized that being more liberal than another is a good thing is utterly alien.

As for the Dawkins/feminism saga, making lecherous comments in an elevator is creepy as all get out and it would freak me out. Has he ever been a woman in an elevator alone with a lecherous guy?

The problem of liberalism is itself.
Everyone has their own views and it's accepted because that's what being liberal is. But it's not like everyone's going to agree because there is no unifying point.

There are Gen Y'ers these days who prize liberalism. Yet all I hear are hate talks even though they say they're 'liberals.' It's annoying, to be honest.

I've never been in an elevator alone with a lecherous guy. But I've been harassed by lecherous creeps in public.

Conservatives? Liberals? They all sound like idealists to me, idealism being a code word for a departure from reality.

I'd vote for a third party, if it wasn't guaranteed to be wasted. Beyond that, corporate interests back both parties so, meh. Pick whatever icing you want on the cake.

Sounds like you don't care.

Trust me, more people will be voting third party as they get fed up with what's going on in our government.
