  • 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?

At church last night the couple sitting in front of us was VERY cuddly. I felt so horrible. @VCR-2000 I know that's something that frustrates you too. When you go to church & all the couples so cuddly & loving, like God is trying to rub it in our faces.

Hey, look, man, I get it. Or at least I think I do. ... May I ask - because this is the way I used to feel back when finding someone to love was a much bigger priority in my life - is it really that you feel a desire is left unfulfilled for yourself when you see others in a state of seemingly happy romance? Is it 100% that you have no one yourself? Or is it more that, seeing others in love, while you go one alone, ... causes you to inevitably feel like God and/or other people look down upon you as being such a loser, or perhaps a bad person, that you aren't worthy of having anyone? So it makes you feel ostracized, hated, even if no one has ever actually done or said anything to evoke that feeling?

I do not mean this to insult you in any way. I am honestly asking if that is the case, because I think it was really what truly bothered me back then - not that I was alone, so much as that remaining alone caused me to feel like I might be a "bad" person who the world hated and thought was unworthy of being loved romantically by anyone. Because it seems like something every human should and likely will have, right? For some, not just once in life, but many a time. Thus, if one stays alone and never even has the chance, then something must be wrong or - perhaps - evil with him. That's what disturbed me oftentimes and made me feel lonely and depressed. ... Of course none of that was actually true, but it was easy to feel that way, even when no one ever actually came up and said to me that I was a bad and ugly person who deserves to be alone (thus, maybe it could even mean that the Lord Himself hated me and wanted me to suffer nothing but the curses of the Darkness and never be allowed into the Light).

Just wondering, Dragonfox. Because I mean, if my bringing up that possibility never occurred to you before and now makes you think that that might be the case for you - that it is feeling unloved and thus "evil" somehow that bothers you now more than the fact itself of not having someone who loves you romantically - then it might help you in a little way, just having the revelation, knowing yourself better and what it is that worries and concerns you.

I've had people tell me that they can't believe I'm still single or similar things, but I don't think it's always that simple, haha!

Well, that's because you are cute, ... and sweet. What can we say, Somber? A lot of guys are just drawn to such qualities. ^-^


I could say that I have bad luck when it comes to dating, but I like to think that God is protecting me from relationships that I'm not meant to be in.

And seriously, that is perhaps a good balance between too much positivity and too much cynicism/bitterness in the way you are looking at your romantic status. At least that's what it sounds like when you say this. :hug:

Not sure what this event will spark, but it might lead to WW3.

Then we should simply be praying that it doesn't happen. :angel:

Had to call an ambulance for my dad. They won't let me in with my mom, and they won't let me wait in the cafeteria either. So im in the car, will try to find a restaurant nearby in a minute.

Mojo, I remember at least one other time since I have been a part of this community where you've mentioned a similar accident coming to your family, and you were to quick to act because you obviously care. May your family be blessed and especially your father who is in dire need right now.:prayer:

Oh for sure there is some of that.

Ugh I could have killed our kitten tonight,Right as I was going upstairs to watch tv tonight,
he decided it would be fun to climb on top of my dresser and knocked over all my earings from my earing organizer,knock over all my necklaces and broke alot of pieces of my knicknacks. It took over an hr to clean up that mess.

Almost as bad as mine:

I'm sort of worried watching Russia inching closer to war with Ukraine. Not sure what this event will spark, but it might lead to WW3. Not trying to be dramatic about it, either.
Whenever I talk to my friend about WW3 he gets really mad. Not supposed to talk about End Times w/ him!
