  • 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.

No its not. Gender is sex. You can substitute sex for ANYTHING gender related and it would mean the same thing.

Even in your examples.
Emotional state of what?
Cognitive state of what?
Societal expectations of what?
Do you really believe that your emotional reactions, your ways of thinking about things that happen to you are identical to a man's? Do you really believe that your emotional reactions, your way of thinking about things that happen to you are not subject to gendered categorization by society?

And you don't ?
No, I don't know. But I have no reason to believe they would lie.
Neither do you; that's the point.

I doubt you even know ONE person who is/has been employed by NASA. If you did, you would have an idea of how long they'd trained to get to where they are; their qualifications and so on.
Your massive generalisations are as ridiculous as saying, "all Scottish people are mean", "all Americans eat hamburgers". "Don't trust the Germans" and so on. If you said any of those, as a serious comment, you'd be in trouble.

What you're displaying against Mr Hovind is called an "ad hominem".

From the Oxford Dictionary:

An argument or reaction directed against a person rather than the position they are maintaining.

It takes the focus off of what he's saying, and puts it on his character.
Conversely, if you create poor arguments based on weak observation and data, your reputation as a scientist gets repudiated.

You can be an awful scientist not worthy of anyone's time AND be wrong in the position you are maintaining.


So you can claim the defence of "ad hominem" for sure. IT just means nothing to the grand scheme of the evidence Hovind puts forward and it certainly doesn't lend credibility to him in any way.

Amnesia

What remains of what we have learned here if nothing else is remembered? Obviously, if we are considered worthy of the Kingdom, then it must be goodness alone. What kind of beings will we then be having no concept of this life? What then of what we call religion is even relevant if we are but a worthy product of this life? Is how we live now, our character, not more important than following house rules?


Isaiah 65:17 For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth, and the former things shall not be remembered or come into mind.

Ecclesiastes 1:11 There is no remembrance of former things, nor will there be any remembrance of later things yet to be among those who come after.

:doh:
Yes, because David - the shepherd boy - was watching sheep in Antarctica.

What's that got to do with "be still, and know that I am God" not talking about Flat Earth?

How does, "be still and know that I am God", teach, and support, a flat earth? How?

'He leadeth me beside the still waters' And where are the still waters ? Antarctica.

You may think this is rather strange but it is the truth you'll be surprised to hear.

Two National Guard soldiers shot in Washington DC

Yup, my friends are also police officers and they like to find out things about people.....

From motive, we can build a safer society to prevent this from happening again.

God bless you
Knowing the motive behind this will not prevent it from happening again

Suspect in DC Ambush of 2 National Guardsmen Is Afghan National Who Entered US During Biden Admin

I have read it.

So, what then? You failed to comprehend it and how it didn't support your claim? I'm not sure how that's any better.

And yes, it comes from an incredibly left leaning source that fabricated nonsense. The only sources that liberals trust. If it was an actual source that was honest, liberals would immediately dismiss it as propaganda.

lol, yes, it's us big bad libs' fault that you failed here. Our standards for evidence are so stringent that you were compelled to post an official DOJ report that didn't remotely support the claim you were using it to make. I'm sorry. I'll be more permissive in the future. Feel free to link to Washington Beacon or Breitbart or Infowars in the future.

Remind me how many young black kids have been murdered since Trump sent the national guard. Not that it matters to anyone but Trump and MAGA conservatives.

Why don't you tell me how many there have been?

Oh wait, I did that leg work for you, too: According to the MPD, there have been 62 murders in DC since he sent in the NG and 132 in all of 2025. It's been 6 months since the guard was sent in and 62 in six months and 61 in the preceding 5 months, so that would appear to represent a modest decline. But that modest decline is over a fairly short time window and was that's set against a murder rate that, as your link pointed out, was already declining sharply.

So did his NG deployment help? Maybe a little. Though if you want to get really cynical with numbers - if you credit him with all of that decline I just mentioned, and if you assume that this NG attack wouldn't have happened without this deployment, then if they die, that'd be enough to wipe out at a quarter of that difference.

The Mamdani Model: More Socialist Mayors to ComeBeware! The DSA will attempt to repeat Mamdani’s success in other Democrat strongholds.

You can stop demonstrating your lack of knowledge any time. The "AI" usage gives it away.

These things happened 10+ generations ago.

"Fighting Muslims" isn't the kind of thing that could leave some sort of memory to "fight muslims" again in the future.
Then it's spiritual.

Origin of Life

From AI Overview:

Martha Stewart went to prison for lying to federal investigators about a stock sale in the ImClone Systems case.

Here is a recipe from her:

Ready to put a perfectly roasted turkey on your holiday table? This recipe includes a delicious herb butter for the turkey and is surprisingly easy to prepare. Before going into the oven, the bird is coated in a simple, flavorful rub of butter mixed with rosemary, sage, and thyme, which makes the skin crispy and golden and the meat moist and flavorful. Place the turkey on a bed of roasted vegetables—along with the turkey neck—to elevate the meat above the bottom of the pan and collect delicious drippings that you can use to make a rich gravy.

Question: Do you feel the same way about Martha's recipes as you do Kent's "recipes"?

If not, I submit the problem is on your end.

Apples and oranges, mate. Apples and oranges.
