  • 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.

Look carefully at the photo. One of us is clearly male. The way the photo is cropped, you can't tell about the other. Draw your own conclusion.

It was a joke. When the opportunity presented itself, I just couldn't resist. :grinning:

My current one (pictured below since avatars change) is a symbol of what felt like the fire burning within me when I fell in love with the Lord in a way that was far deeper than my, up to that point, usual 'churchy' way. The experience was my introduction into madhura bhava (bridal mysticism in Christianity), where I fell seriously in love with the King of the Universe.

The blue heart portion of the graphic was pre-existing, and I photo-shopped into it's core the single, tall, blue flame. It was an attempt to illustrate how it felt.

My avatar is "Karma" the Jack Russell Terrier who came into my life in 2001 and departed two years ago. She was energetic, intelligent, loyal, loving and absolutely fearless. I still miss her. I try to be the sort of person that she thought I was.

I'm sorry for your loss!

Ever heard this song?

It's a tear jerker!

I hope a karma didn't run over your dogma.

Looks like Eden (Pangaea) to me.

My avatar is a book that was the 1st of it's kind that really analyzed genre comparisons between ancient Graeco-Roman biographies and the Gospels. Basically arguing the position that the Gospels are ancient biography.

I changed mine recently to reflect my new position in male society. Having climbed all my mountains, slain all my dragons, etc. it's time to get some much needed rest.

It is a photo of a group of three paintings on canvas I completed when The Father brought it to be my reality. They are supposed to hang horizontally as one, but all could not be seen in the avatar window in that direction, so I laid them one upon the other, vertically...which really is quite fitting. The bottom "LOVE" is the size of each individual canvas. Interesting that in this picture, it is seen as the larger of the three.
