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.
What's on your mind?

I just found a study about internet trolls having personality traits of sadists, psychopaths and narcissists.
https://www.psychologytoday.com/blo...rolls-are-narcissists-psychopaths-and-sadists
I found it hopelessly hilarious that a Canadian university did this study. Canadians are so polite and friendly that they did a study on internet trolling and linked their behavior to personality disorders.

Sex ....
I still feel like a child in the face of it. And not just because I still possess my V-card; that is actually a minor reason why. Even more so it is because it seems I only just now realized how powerful a weapon it can be, and I am far beyond the age of being legally considered a kid. Like many things, if not in all things created by God, physical love can be for good or for evil. But what makes me feel like a child sometimes despite my lack of complete innocence when it comes to sex is how much it both attracts and repels (sometimes outright frightens) me. And the physical effects of sexual attraction to a lady. It actually feels like a kind of bewitching spell that has been cast over me. A deep redness and maddening warmth steals over me, usually focused in my chest and entire face, my heart begins beating faster - but whether in nervous anticipation much like the moment I confessed tot he girl I was in love with throughout college, or outright dread, I do not know - and I am somewhat dizzy in the head. I imagine this feeling is much like the staggering effects of alcohol on people who are more experienced with drinking than I am. Again, I do not know whether to flee or to embrace the effect as a normal, healthy thing within its due boundaries.
There's so many more feelings I wished to speak aloud about this that I was pondering on my way home a little earlier tonight (to clarify, no, I was not returning home from having any manner of secret meeting with a lady), why I am left so confused and feeling helplessly bewitched when it comes to sexual attraction, and how I as both a believer and a human male like any other must deal with it. But I am probably seeming like a rambling, inarticulate ponderer as it is with what I've already written here. Forgive a young and foolish knight his musings.

This is only a stereotype, I'm afraid. Not all necessarily true.
I believe you. Just watch a hockey game and see how brutal they can get!

Before I did leave, I felt that I did owe you guys pics from my trip...
before they started the belly flop contest, they played Sweet Caroline and people sung it...
I didn't get the whole thing cause I accidently stopped recording, sorry...
They did the Macarena after the parade...

I would quite like to find a religious group to fit in - I'm prepared to focus on the strong common points of faith. I guess I have the available options:
Buddhism - I very much like their ideology, but more than majority of Buddhists don't believe in a creator. I could fit in with them otherwise, but I don't believe in idolatry and belief in the One Creator is one of the highest fundamentals of my faith.
Zoroastrianism - I acknowledge their teachings and the Zend-Avesta, but this is a more rare religion now and is secluded more so to specific groups in specific countries. So there wouldn't be fellowship here where I am anyway.
Islam - I have a lot of Muslim friends and our principals and views on absolute monotheism line up nearly exactly. I view their stance on Yeshu (Jesus) the same as well. But I'm not too keen on limiting myself specifically to the Qur'an and Muhammad's teachings - I also don't really like the current direction that Islam is taking in the world as a whole movement. More so interested in universal Sufism, which isn't regarded as part of Islam.
Mormonism - I can come to close agreement with their views on Yeshu since they don't follow the trinity. Not sure on their other beliefs, I would have to learn more about Joseph Smith and their laws to consider.
Christianity - I don't believe in salvation by crucifixion or the trinity. I don't believe in revelations or accept half of the new testament. Or their lack of following Torah laws. I've already tried to fit in within the past, but haven't been successful.
Paganism - I could potentially classify myself as a monotheistic Pagan, views of pantheism (admiration of nature) are very close, but there is lack of laws and I wouldn't fit in with pagans who worship multiple gods.
Bai'hai Faith - I know our views on monotheism line up accordingly, I need to find out more about their views and laws to see whether this has potential.
