  • 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.

    I Was Bonding With Satan Once

    My father was dying of cancer, and my prayers to the Lord did not show results, so I made the most foolish decision in my entire life, and turned to Satan to send a demon to me to heal my father. The demon, "astaris" gave excuses and excuses as to why my father could not be healed. He said the...

    Why is Anime immoral?

    With any media, there will be extremes. Movies, as well. Anime as a whole is certainly not immoral. Immoral would be watching an echhi. On the other side of the coin is the positive things found in anime, such as lyrics to openings or endings, which often have amazing value to me, and hit you...

    23 and no career. No college. Feeling helpless =/

    My name is Antar... Chris. I'm in your boat as well, my friend. I never graduated. While I have extensive knowledge of many subjects, more than they even teach in schools, my attention span did not allow me to pass those timed tests, thust I have no education whatsoever. I cannot even find a...

    Calling

    I can't shake this vision. I see myself on a vast plain, walking farther and farther, exhausted. I turn around and see small dots far off, and what appears to be a pile of junk between the two dots. As I squint to get a better look, I see there are three dots, and that the dots are people...

    Trials

    I have come to realize that I cannot simply live my life with myself as the focus. For over a decade, I have fought mental illness, focused on myself, trying to make things better for myself, all to create more and more stress and more things that need fixing. The story is too long to explain...

    Dating a Non-Virgin Christian Girl

    In 2nd Corinthians, I forget the exact verse, but Paul talks about how if you marry a non-believer, you may open up the one way that person could be converted. After all, she would be living with a believer, and if you live your life out through His will and let the courage and strength He gives...

    Shouldn't We Look at the Bible as our Instruction Manual?

    Certainly we should. And Jesus our role model. After all, if we did not, what would define right and wrong? The current desires of man, which change constantly? Man, who can't even keep a law the same for a few years? One person will say this is right while another says it is wrong. Without the...

    Getting outside my comfort zone

    First, congrats on taking steps forward! I know it is difficult, and I am working on getting out of my comfort zone as well (OCD related). I would need to know more about what you consider your comfort zone in order to tell you what I believe you should do. However, this piece of advice is...

    I'm in love but young..

    While your words about growing older are true, and most teen relationships are based on lust, I see nothing in what has been said that points out it is lust and not love. It is possible for a teen to love, so long as they look past the hormones. I do agree with the latter part of your message...

    I'm in love but young..

    Age doesn't matter. You are young, as am I, and I once was in love, but God led me through much suffering to find my own path He planned for me, and told me I should not marry, so I no longer desire a partner. The reason I'm telling you this is that God has a complex plan written out for every...

    I'm making bad decisions

    I've made some bad decisions in my life that I'm afraid to even speak of, but recently I have become aware that the Lord knows we will fall again. Don't expect to accept Jesus and then lead a life without sin, for sin is in our nature. If you fall to it, repent, and simply dust yourself off and...

    A Path

    I have been a believer in Jesus for many years, for as long as I can recall, I believed in Him and the Good News He brings. Yet, for as long as I can remember, as embarrassed as I am to admit it, I was filled with evil. I lied to my parents almost daily, to my friends as well, I became addicted...

    Are you happy?

    Well, sometimes... such as a week or two of being happy, followed by a few days of being down, and so on. Generally, I'd say I'm getting by, with a few little moments of happiness along the way. :)

    *Moved from Singles* Weed

    I have a crippling neurological disease and have had to use it for medical purposes. From that experience back then, I can say it didn't mess up my head (this was for years), make me sick, etc., and really, the only true problems that I ever hear about weed are related to it simply being...

    Sex and/or Love Addiction

    Definitely. When I have no one to love, I feel like I have no identity and just become more and more depressed or without motivation. I'm sure that one day when I lose my virginity, I'll probably feel similar about sex.
