  • 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.

Sounds weird considering the way I conducted myself in OBOB and other Christian forums here at CF, but I've always, always never believed in God since I was about 13 (I'm 24 now). I bought a rosary. I bought a Sunday Missal. I bought a book of prayers. I still don't believe. I took the...

...is what I read in Sirach (not sure what chapter / verse) the other day. So, my roomate (in the boarding house I stay in), who is mentally challenged, was (what I seemed) the right person to tell this to. I said, "Darryn, if anybody calls you a fool or stupid, remember what I said - only the...

Currently I am weaving my way through my first reading of the entire Holy Bible. I am using both the KJV and the NRSV (with Apocrypha / Dueterocanonical books). Personally, I'm having a great time. Anyways, I'm still at a loss as to which denomination to choose; either to stick to Catholicism...
