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.
An IVF alternative for infertility that’s holistic and ethical

As in vitro fertilization (IVF) rises in popularity, discussion continues surrounding its ethics as well as about how to respond to the plight of couples struggling with infertility. One group addressing that need is FEMM (Fertility Education and Medical Management), which focuses on the root causes of women’s reproductive health issues, offering various kinds of support for infertility.
Anna Halpine, CEO of FEMM, founded the organization in 2012 to expand options for women’s health care. FEMM provides women from puberty to menopause with health support and information, offering telehealth resources as well as an app to track cycles and symptoms.
FEMM serves a lot of women who struggle with fertility issues, offering them alternatives to IVF, which is often an arduous and expensive process.
IVF is a fertility treatment opposed by the Catholic Church in which doctors fuse sperm and eggs to create human embryos and implant them in a woman’s uterus until birth. To maximize efficiency, doctors create excess human embryos and routinely destroy undesired embryos. An estimated 600,000 frozen embryos are in storage in the U.S. alone, with some estimates at upwards of a million.

Israel exposes UNRWA’s deep ties to Hamas in ICJ testimony, citing hostage accounts

The Israeli Foreign Ministry on Friday submitted written testimony to the International Court of Justice (ICJ), detailing the close ties between the disgraced United Nations aid agency UNRWA and the Hamas terrorist organization in connection with the atrocities of Oct. 7, 2023.
The Israeli report also included testimony from freed Israeli hostage Emily Damari, where she confirmed that Hamas terrorists were holding her captive in an UNRWA facility in Gaza. Other Israeli hostages have also testified that they were held captive by UNRWA employees.
However, the U.N. and the ICJ have largely ignored — and even whitewashed — the strong ties between UNRWA and Hamas.

Rhett and Link give update 5 years after deconstructing, say they're not scared of Hell: 'It doesn't make sense'
- By Clare73
We are all born unbelievers, by nature objects of wrath (Eph 2:3) and enemies of God (Ro 5:10) and remain so until the sovereign (as unaccountable as the wind, Jn 3:6-8) Holy Spirit rebirths us (Jn 3:3-5), which he does not do for all mankind.Five years after publicly deconstructingtheir faith, YouTube stars Rhett and Link have opened up about their religious views and revealed they’re not scared of going to Hell, dismissing it as a “human construct” rather than a biblical one and a “mechanism” to keep people in Christianity.
During a two-hour Feb. 17 podcast titled “Link Actually Prayed” on their Ear Biscuits YouTube channel, Rhett McLaughlin and Link Neal, better known as Rhett & Link, gave their “annual update” on their religious views after departing from Christianity in early 2020.
“I'm in a good place, but it's like holding steady and still at arm's length,” Link said. “I like to keep it simple, you know. And I like to keep it to like, love platitudes.”
