• 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.

You're treading on the top of the iceberg of some pretty deep theological points, my friend.

...

Since this is a long post, I will let you think on that for a bit.

Thanks for all the effort that went into that post, and for addressing the little side-thoughts I had.

And whether a choice is made through action or non-action, it is a choice nontheless.

It was this thought that shook me up and made me feel like I had to decide whether I was an atheist or a believer. Just thought I'd share.
The fact that you believe you have no choice is a choice in itself.

Since this is a long post, I will let you think on that for a bit.

This has given me something to think about. As I said to aiki above, I'd like to discuss it some other time. I'll probably start a new thread some time in the future about it. Don't want to make a promise though!
