• 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.

Atlantis is a tale of karma.

Of a good beginning, eventual bad behavior, and the consequence.

Our time is similar. But maybe… not the same.

And it serves quite nicely as a morality tale. But that doesn't mean it's a factual account of historic events.

History became legend. Legend became myth.
And for thousands of years, Atlantis passed out of all knowledge.
It would be courteous if you were to acknowledge your adaptation of J.R.R.Tolkien's words as given to Galadriel. You wouldn't want to be thought a plagiarist would you?

the writers of the movies are the source
No. Tolkien is the source. In any event your responsibility is to respect copyright and specifically acknowledge the source. It is a legal requirement and it is the courteous thing to do.
