  • 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

    We Should Teach Our Teens To Wait Until Marriage For Sex

    Harmful to Minors by Judith Levine is an interesting book, about how destructive and dangerous is the fanatical move in our society to protect children from any exposure to healthy, natural, positive attitudes about sex. It's really depressing... in short, pubescents and teenagers have about the...

    Why should I care?

    A bit odd to lump the two together... hard to find two topics less involved with one another than homosexuality and abortion, since queer people are generally not in need of abortions. No one can make you care about other people, but some of us see fit to fight oppression where we see it even...

    Gay theology (i.e. Mel White, Soulforce) why even try?

    'You're pure hate!' 'No, YOU'RE pure hate!' Oh, you guys... Just to be clear: Hate: 1 a: intense hostility and aversion usually deriving from fear, anger, or sense of injury b: extreme dislike or antipathy : loathing Therefore, teaching young people that their sexuality is okay whether...

    The quantity of gay threads is saddening. But another isnt going to make a difference

    Oh, Polycarp_Fan, that was a let-down. The best you can do is "gay culture does not equal capitalism/industrialism" and "No one who accepts GLBTs is actually a Christian by my personal definition?" Ouch, I'm bleeding. More generally, though, the heterosexists here (and on Facebook, where I am...

    This is a heterosexual thread.

    Sorry for the hijack (you can take it right back if you like) but this reminds me of M. Rochlin's "Heterosexual Questionnaire." If you want, straight folks, please enlighten us, each other, yourselves... 1. What do you think caused your heterosexuality? 2. When and how did you first decide...

    Should soldiers who believe in God be denied weapons?

    And attacking a country who had not attacked us and gave no suggestion that they were going to do so, a country that had nothing to do with 9/11, accomplishes this how? And... "a few hundred..." might check your numbers again on that one. Last time I checked, several thousand US soliders and...

    Did God set up men to fail?

    But how can a being be both omnipotent and omniscient? If he's omniscient, he knows everything -- including everything that's going to happen before it ever happens. Therefore he can't change it, which makes him not omnipotent. If he were omnipotent, he'd have the power to do anything...

    Boycott McDonalds for God

    Hey now, I'm a homosexual with an agenda. Pick up my dry-cleaning, have 4th of July barbecue with grandparents, watch Law and Order, take over the world... wait, forget that last one.

    Does anyone else want to cry...

    Ha. I hear those "ex-gay" ministry programs are a great way to meet queer lovers. But in all seriousness... Nothing bugs me like people loathing and denying a natural, beautiful part of themselves for no good reason. In some of these stories about sexual "conversions," you hear something...

    Gay theology (i.e. Mel White, Soulforce) why even try?

    I wouldn't rule it out, but it's hard to be convinced by the mere assertion that there's a convincing argument out there somewhere. I definitely agree in general that there's a disturbing trend in our society of people neglecting, abandoning or devaluing their family ties, including, but not...

    Homosexuals: I'm calling you out!!! Prove to me...

    How about if I'm queer and non-Christian, but I still don't want to prove to you that Jesus didn't rise from the dead? Why would it matter to me if you believe that, and why does it matter to you if my lover is another woman? I don't have to justify my love life to you any more than you have to...

    People who use disabled toilets... Scum?

    I suppose I'm blessed to frequent places with big under-used public restrooms.

    Gay theology (i.e. Mel White, Soulforce) why even try?

    Even if we go on your twin dubious assumptions that these societies were (A) "founded" on homosexuality, whatever that means and (B) are the only societies in history in which people normatively engaged in same-sex love, sex and relationships (I still can't post links, but feel free to do a...

    Gays and Lesbians (GLBT) versus Christians

    As to the OP, that's an odd case and I can't say I agree that people should be forced by law to accept the patronage of gay people... if they want to cut themselves out of business because of their personal beliefs, let them; capitalism will no doubt do its thing and more "tolerant"...

    People who use disabled toilets... Scum?

    Personally I think that the whole idea of a particular bathroom stall being ONLY for disabled people is rather unnecessarily othering and divisive. Imagine a bathroom stall only for black people or only for white people. Ask yourself, why shouldn't ALL bathroom facilities be accessible to...
