  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

    A message to corporations: is asking for common sense asking for too much?

    In my experience, batteries are in sealed containers. How is it dangerous to keep sealed batteries next to food? And you could just say,"no thanks, I don't need help" I'm impressed this somehow wound up in Ethics and Morality, as I see no ethical issues at all.

    Board Games

    RISK is fun, but I rarely play it. I never have enough time to do so. Chess has got to be my all time favorite.

    Graphic novels you would recommend?

    Batman: The Killing Joke, and Batman: Year One are pretty good.

    Changes when it comes to the quality of US education...

    America, in comparison to other countries, doesn't have the best educational system. Don't get me wrong, there are very smart people here, but Common Core does appear a bit "dumbed down", as you say. The issue with dumbing down education is that it's often presented in a visual way, and in the...

    Regarding swear words...

    Not sure. I do know that I hate to have a dire/bad situation out of my control. Perhaps it becomes a way for me to vent my rage. I dunno, I'm not a psychologist. :P

    Modern Ideas that are not beneficial to us

    (3) ""Happiness is to pack as much excitement and entertainments into life as possible" No wonder people are so bored and depressed today." To quote Owl City "life is way to short to take it slow." Some people feel happy living a slow, minimalist lifestyle. Other people, (like myself) find...

    Is it okay for Christians to watch horror movies?

    I tend to stay away from certain horror. While some supernatural horror is fun (X-Files, anyone?) it has a habit of crossing a line, sometimes way over the line, venturing to demonic themes one shouldn't watch. That doesn't happen often in my experience though. From a non religious standpoint...

    Regarding swear words...

    I find swearing consistently to be unsophisticated. For example, dropping your phone is hardly a reason to let loose a barrage of swear words. In a dramatic/dire situation (earthquake, losing control on a bike, etc.) I can understand swearing, as it's a rather traumatic (for lack of a better...

    "Upgrade" to Windows 10.....why

    You wouldn't catch me dead with them.

    "Upgrade" to Windows 10.....why

    Windows Defender is terrible. It constantly flags everything I download. Downloading LDraw? Windows thinks it's a virus. Installing Foldit? Windows thinks it's a virus. Downloading binary files? You guessed it, Windows thinks it's a virus. And I don't like my data being recorded for ads. I...

    Favorite video game?

    Foldit. I think I've logged over 200 hours into that game.

    how long do u spend a day playing games?

    On weekdays, I normally limit my game time to about 2 hours for 5 days. On weekends, I'll spend about an hour watching a show or playing Foldit.

    "Upgrade" to Windows 10.....why

    More features? Sure! Better Security? LOL no. Windows Defender is a terrible antivirus. I see no reason to use Windows 10, as Microsoft decided to ingeniously record everything I type. I don't care what Microsoft does with my data. If they have my data, that's a big no-no in my eyes. They have...

    Fossil Record not consistent with Global Flood

    I'm no Bible Scholar, but I agree, the fossil record is inconsistent with the Flood. But keep in mind, the Old Testament (especially the first few books) are very symbolic, and the Flood could mean a lot of things. (I haven't studied the Flood extensively, so I don't know what those things...

    Any anime or manga sinful to watch?

    Haven't seen SAO or Akame go Kill!, so I can't offer an opinion. As for Death Note, keep the context in mind. Light legitimately believes he is doing the right thing in killing these people. It's an interesting take on morality, similar to Zankyou No Terror. That being said, if it bothers...
