• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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?

Probably had something to do with the George Soros conspiracy theories, right?

Not sure what SJWs have to do that with.. I was generally talking about SJWs offering hypocritical and shallow narratives about racism that turn people away and seek out answers elsewhere.. with some unfortunately going too far in the other direction.

I read somewhere it was originally going to be released on Netflix but the service refused it because it was so bad. It did get a theatrical release and got horrible reviews. I've read plenty of anecdotal claims that people were leaving the theater early as well.

I watched it to see how bad it was and honestly... It wasn't as horrible as I imagined in to be. It was just a run of the mill low brow comedy movie that will be forgotten within the next few months. I smiled at several jokes but only had one joke I still laugh to myself whenever I see it.

Piece of garbage Netflix wouldn't even release it? Lol.. that's saying a lot.

A series that romanticizes suicide and gives vulnerable teens ideas to hurt themselves? It's raising awareness!

A series about teenage girls entering prostitution and glorying the industry it in the process? It's liberating for women!

A series about blatant Satanism and trying to make it appear relatable to teens? You silly Christians find darkness in everything!

But remember: Veggie Tales is racist, Baby It's Cold Out promotes sexual assault, and Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer is triggering for its depiction of bullying, verbal abuse, and bigotry!

You know, at least when you think about these specific examples ... you're right.


EDIT: ... I did hate Veggie Tales when they made us watch it in my Christian private school in 8th grade, though.

The studio that originally made veggie tales went bankrupt in the early 2000s, and based on the content after then I’m not sure it produced any further Christian content. I haven’t really watched many of them after that time (so I may be wrong), but the ones I did watch seemed secular.
