• 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 are your thoughts on the Loch Ness Monster and other topics related to cryptozoology? (Such as champ, yeti/bigfoot etc).

I think it's mostly a hoax, but it's a fun topic for fiction!

There is a series called Drain the Oceans, in which they use sonar and other high resolution imagery to investigate oceanic and sea-related mysteries. Bermuda Triangle, shipwrecks, etc. The Nessie episode discusses how the waves can create an optical illusion under some circumstances, that resembles a creature on the water. The famous photo is now known to be a hoax.

I suspect most of these cryptids are just overactive imaginations, too much we would expect to find that we simply don't if such things existed. Though I wouldn't write them all off, people thought Platypus was a hoax at first even after physical evidence had been produced and for the longest time where elephant dead go was a mystery.
