  • 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.

    Advice for a Closet Case

    Yeah, because homosexuality is just as simple as staying out of the road..... f) We are a long way from the Old Testament. That God is not in the world anymore. The Holy Spirit is. But that's besides the point because Sodom and Gomorrah (I'm assuming those are the cities you are referring...

    Women - Not Men - Chose to be Gay?

    "...prove that change is possible..." Tell that to the gay teens who commit suicide. You seem to want to make conservative Christians the victim here. Such is not the case, I'm afraid. And I know sexual orientation is not genetic, but that doesn't mean sexual orientation isn't...

    Why would anyone choose a religion at all? Life is confusing enough without an invisible Man Behind the Curtain.

    Why would homosexuality be a sin?

    This kind of language defeats the purpose of having this discussion. Please quit it. Neither you or any of us are the be-all-end-all or authority of/on absolute truth. And just quoting your own interpretation of one very old book doesn't necessarily make it truth. Soren Kierkegaard: "Truth...

    Advice for a Closet Case

    So, I don't know if this belongs in the E&M section, but oh well....I guess I can move it. And this is where most of the threads on homosexuality are anyways. I am a 19-year old gay man attending Houghton College in NY. For the past few years, I have been struggling in the closet about my...

    Why would homosexuality be a sin?

    It makes no sense in my mind how anything that comes out of love between two adults could be a sin. Anybody agree?

    Women - Not Men - Chose to be Gay?

    Yeah, I definitely don't agree with suppression, either...just leads to self-hatred and -loathing. And really the only "choice" debate in homosexuality is whether you choose to act on your attractions or not. The old cliche of "You can't help who you fall in love with" is pretty much true...

    Ever been in a meeting where someone "called out someone's sins" and exposed them?

    I just got kicked out of a Christian forum for being gay. The world hasn't changed.

    Women - Not Men - Chose to be Gay?

    Thanks! Well, you can't deny your own feelings. If you are in love with a woman, then that's the way it is. I've come to terms with my attractions, and don't really feel ashamed about them, even though people try to make me feel ashamed of them. Nothing more human than being in love. What...
