  • 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.

... and I am again unsure of what I believe in. I am reading the bible, keeping an open mind and seeing if anything happens. There are many things I have to sort out, and I don't think it's going to be a quick fix... nothing with me ever is ^_^ I am one of those people that can't make a...

I am home. After many agonising months, I have finally come to the realisation that I am pagan and always will be. Nothing I can do can change that fact, and it is something that I have come to terms with :) As much as it saddens me to say (and I mean no offense to anyone here) Christ just...

It may be quite trivial to a lot of people, but recently my car went wrong. With no money to fix it and the prospect of having to have it scrapped...I was so unhappy, but forcing myself not to worry. A friend of a friend that is a mechanic came and looked at it today, and said that the £1400...

My Dad has lost his job, and we are going to be facing some very testing times, financially and maybe mentally on my Dads part. You see, he has a history of severe depression, and I'm praying that this latest job loss won't trigger off another attack of it. He is already showing a few minor...

Had another small falling out with Sissy, but it was over before it really began. She is realising everything that I do for her, and I think that the penny has dropped, so to speak, about just what she'd miss out on if I stopped doing all of the things that I do for her!! Phew!! and about time...

I've reached a point in my life where I cannot seem to care very much about alot of things. I used to spend alot of time online, but of late, I just can't seem to be bothered with going to any of the forums that I normally go to. It is very bad, as I own one of them and I seem to have lost all...

Do you ever have something happen and it makes you think of the past? I signed up for facebook recently (why I don't know as there is no one that I speak to there) and an old friend from my past added me as a friend. I used to be very good friends with this person and when she moved house she...

What a wonderful world we live in! I am sat in the garden using the wireless internet on my laptop (which is working for once ) and I'm looking around the little patch of this earth that I tend and I can truly not see how people say that this planet is always so ugly. There is such beauty and so...

Well, strange week this has been I haven't been out all week! The kids here have been on school holiday and I haven't had the motivation to do anything much (that will hopefully change soon though). Had a blazing row with my sister a little while ago, and she was talking of moving out, but has...

So, here it is, my first CF blog entry. Am not at all certain what to say really. Honesty will be the best policy, so I'll be honest. First off, I am morbidly obese (a phrase I totally hate, but....honesty!!). I never even think about it, until some random stranger in the street see's fit to...
