  • 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.

There is no evidence againts the Theory of Evolution.

It goes beyond paper.

Psalm 34:8 O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.

Psalm 51:12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.

Hebrews 6:4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,
Hebrews 6:5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,

You worship the paper because the paper tells you to.

Though it will not make any difference I do thank you for the positive thoughts.

You could pray that she learns how to use the computer and that she buys a new one.

On a serious note it is amazing how quickly the medical profession reacts to broken hips these days. She fell out of bed at about midnight and in less than 12 hours she was in the operating room getting a new hip. They have found that putting in new hips immediately and getting people back on their feet as rapidly as possible is the best way to avoid serious complications. They actually had her standing for a short period after she had her new hip put in, on that day!
If you walk in the emergency room with a blocked artery they want you on the operating table ready to go in 45 min. When the doctor found out they needed to replace the battery on my defibrillator he suggest we go straight to surgery and do the operation right then and there. I was amazed that he was so quick and ready to operate. This was like a few days before Christmas and you would think he would be off on holiday. Of course that is where they actually make their money. Also the holidays are when people eat all the wrong foods and end up in the hospital.

Yes, there are times that they do treat you right away. About the only time I went to the emergency room for myself was when I had a bad asthma attack. I had just quit smoking and the smoke, though it was bad for me over the long run, would make me hack up stuff. When I quit smoking.. no more hacking, and my body could not handle it quite yet. I have taken people to the emergency room and waited for hours with them. As soon as I talked to the admitting nurse she put me in triage and then it was straight back for treatment. I had a three day stay and the only thing that really bothered me is that they kept offering me "the patch". I had tried nicotine replacements before and all they do is to prolong the agony. I wanted to get over it as soon as possible and kept saying no. That was over 5 years ago and I still don't smoke.

Yep, I quit over 12 years ago and I really wonder why I ever smoked because I do not see any advantage to it at all and I sure don't miss it.

Well of course, the animals on Noah's Ark bore evidence of evolution as do all animals.
Yes, the only difference is the animals on the ark bore evidence of domestication and not all animals are domesticated. Although some people may disagree with that.

Well, nicotine is a quick stress reliever. The only problem is that the addiction to it causes you to go into stress if you don't feed your addiction. I am glad to have that monkey off of my back too.
