• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • 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.

Christianity has a racism problem. The same faith that has a verse that says that "all are one under Christ Jesus" is the same faith with a lot of people engaging in what I would absolutely call racist attitudes. Racism is not always outright slavery and shouting slurs; sometimes it's far more...

A message for those who may be offended by something I have said (either to you or to someone else): send me a private message and let me know. I am not a mind reader and cannot determine who is and who isn't offended through a computer screen. But I'm also not a monster. If you come to me and...

I'm going to make this brief and to the point: if, after two years, you're still trying to claim that Trump didn't say that there were "good people" on the side of the Nazis marching in Charlottesville, you're either a liar or incredibly dense. It's on video that he said this: In either case...

What does it say about someone when every word out of their mouth is either braggadocio, a lie, or some combination of both? What does it say about someone when they claim to be a big, strong manly man, and yet take every opportunity to take to Twitter to whine about all the ways that things...

Muslims are not my enemy. Immigrants - regardless of their nationality - are not my enemy. Asian, African-American, Native American, Jewish, etc people are not my enemy. The true enemy are those who walk among us who wish to destroy our country, its institutions, and the values on which it...

https://johnpavlovitz.com/2019/04/11/the-terribly-tiny-god-of-maga-christians/ Honestly, I'm not even sure who John Pavlovitz is, but he so succinctly and accurately nails a lot of "evangelical" "Christianity" these days that I had to share this. It needs to be said and shared among people who...

I came back to this site without high expectations about the level of discourse over the horrible and cruel way that this government is treating immigrants. My worst suspicions were confirmed when I clicked through the political threads and saw how self-professed Christians were shrugging away...

Here's a by-no-means-comprehensive list of things Trump doesn't care about: 1. You 2. The working-class 3. Mexico 4. Immigration 5. The national anthem, and who stands for it 6. Tax cuts/reform 7. Health care, "great" or otherwise 8. Veterans 9. America Trump doesn't care. He doesn't care. To...

Note to the idiots behind the new "controversial topics" rule: it doesn't "promote" homosexuality to report news about Don't Ask Don't Tell (DADT) or show your support for people who have a different sexual orientation. Just because I don't have an enormous chip on my shoulder about "the gays"...

Even though the Separation of Church and State is not a hard concept to understand, the myths and outright lies about Separation continue to pervade political discourse in this country. Search for books concerning Separation of Amazon, and most of the books you find are written by authors who...

What's the difference between Catholics and Methodists? The answer is that there is very little difference. We worship the same God. We follow the same Bible. Our church histories are virtually identical. So why is it that some Christians have become so entrenched in perpetual 'Catholic vs...
