  • 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 read this in "The Broken Way" this morning and it has stuck with me through the day so far.

"It definitely gets harder before it gets easier. But it will definitely get better -- if you don't give up when it's hardest...Grace can strike when you are in great pain and light you with the greatest hope."
So true! I have recently seen this in my own life and the peace that it gives is truly amazing.

Indeed! Some of the most amazing moments in my life have also been during some of the most difficult. I have often seen most clearly God's faithfulness and grace in the midst of the storms.

I truly wish I could share that perspective. All I see during those times are the way things could have been if God was more generous and merciful to me like He was to most of my tormentors.

I'm sorry for my whining guys. Been a rough couple of days.

Not a problem. You got a painful reminder that you lost someone very dear to you and I think that's enough to warrant some of these thoughts. I know a person who hates Christmas because she had so many people close to her die during those times so you aren't alone in this.

It's nights like this where I'm glad most women age like milk.

Thanks reality for not being a social justice warrior.

Reality should really check its privilege. It's racist, ableist, sexist and.... Um...

Well I guess we can't argue with reality.

I still don't understand the foolish idea put out by feminists that female attractiveness is because of things like patriarchy yet are totally silent when it comes to how narrow male attractiveness generally is.

Study biology/evolution. There are plenty of rational things we hate about how many women look. Women are fine with there being a looks hierarchy when it comes to men, and the same is true for a look hierarchy when it comes to women. You're not all equally beautiful. Lol.

Women like v-shapes and tallness and men like hour glass shapes and youthfulness.

That and life just simply isn't fair no matter how much you fight against it. Some will always be stronger, faster, smarter, richer, healthier, better looking, and more socially desirable than others and this won't go away until God decides to add in the Great Reversal like the Bible keeps promising.

I've pretty much lost faith in this world. People think they're making it a better place but for who? All I see happening is people trying to turn the tables of inequality while portraying themselves as benevolent.

My advice for the world: be beneficial, not superficial. If people actually put their money where their mouths are, this world wouldn't be as crappy as it is now.

Yeah but humans can still make it more fair rather than doing nothing. When it comes to looks biology gives us plenty to abhor about each gender. Growing up plenty of women have rejected me for my lack of height, as I get older I'll be doing the same for women's lack of youthfulness. That's equality right there and I expect to be able to be as coarse about it as women are about short men.

I'm not sure how we can heal these body woes. But one thing is certain, you'll never go anywhere if you don't also give short men equality. Not trying to screw us over, like so many body positive movements do.

Agreed- body positivity needs to extend to all. I'm doing my part to show love to the short man club :) (conversely, he's doing a good job of showing love to the awkward tall girls community)
