  • 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.

Well when dialoging with atheist for example I start with the premise of causality and observe nature and what man can know from reason alone and intellect and build it from their eventually leading up to all the other things. I do not start with the premise that this is true because the bible says so and its inspired. I take it piece by piece.
Agreed. Quite logical too, by the by. I thought the entire point (or one of the points at least) of Vatican II was to give the Church the instruments necessary to dialogue with all peoples of all belief systems. This seems like a fairly common sense approach, actually.
