  • 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

your dad is a smart man.

He is in some areas, but religion is not one of them. He doesn't understand anything besides Christianity, which I understand its what he was raised in and he's the type of man who only wants to know what he thinks he needs to know. But he knows nothing about other religions and makes vast sweeping generalizations about other religions about which he knows absolutely nothing. So no, he's not a critical thinker or an intelligent thinker when it comes to religion in general.

oh ya hes sooo smart, its great to tell your kids their going to be tortured for eternity :confused: (some peoples logic confuses me)

Thank you for your support, and I agree. :)

I agree with him about the arguing about religion online it's pointless and just leads to nothing other than hurt feelings.

I did not read misread he was saying you are going to hell misread the post. No one knows who's going where...anyhow hell is on this earth.

Misread the post...but I have been around people who do believe in hell etc. and they teach their kids as much. They are not demons...actualy some of the ultra conservative Christians I have met in real life are good people.

In fact if it were not some ultra conservative Christians I would not have had a place to stay and would have been homeless my daughter and myself.

On the other hand if it were not for a humanist I would not have any furniture in my house and my children would not have anyone to speak to when the #$@$ hits the fan.

But again...I really misread that post of Sacred..I thought he was disparaging arguing about religion online...again..I can see his point..it doesn't accomplish anything when you come down to it and it's frusterating.

yw, my mom has recently started reading the bible and stuff, i think under the influence of a friend of hers from work, she hasnt told me im going to hell yet but she complains about some thing i say, such as when me and my brother were talking about the chicken and the egg and i said thats easy the egg came first cause the almost chicken laid an egg that became a full chicken, and then my mom just randomly interupts and says unless you believe god put them here, so i said except that evolution is proven. I can respect people believeing that god guided evolution or whatever, but believeing creation is wrong, you can believe that 2+2=50 all you want it still doesnt make it true.

How is the concept of Hell ethical or moral?

Does anyone, specifically people who believe people go to hell, know?
It is neither ethical nor moral, furthermore it is markedly unethical and undoubtedly immoral.
But here's the good thing, it's only a literary device. It's taken from a work of historical fiction who's accuracy is questionable at best. Fear it not.

I don't. If they really believe that then it's their moral duty to point it out. If they believe that humans are causing global warming it's their moral duty to point it out. If they believe that cheese causes insanity it's their moral duty to point it out. What concerns me more than any of this is that they believe there is a hell or a god to put them there.
