  • 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

    As long as the weather stays like this I'm happy with it.

    OT: Extra large cat growled last night

    The MI DNR is just getting around to acknowledging that cougars exist here. Not sure why they insisted on denying it for so long.

    Democrats Likely to Make Same-Sex Marriage Part of Their Platform

    You can't compare a relationship between two consenting adults to bestiality or child pornography/abuse. It's apples and oranges. The next big fight after gay marriage will be to legalize polygamy. It's already happening in a few areas.

    OT: Extra large cat growled last night

    You need to get somebody out there to trap it. We have all kinds of animals in our city too. Cougars, coyotes, deer, turkeys, etc. With all the abandoned properties and people leaving town it's like a sanctuary to them.

    I guess I'm glad that I never registered as a Democrat.

    Evolution and you?

    My point is that a purely atheist view of the universe just doesn't make sense to me. Any way, I made a promise to myself to never discuss this topic since it only leads to arguments.

    Evolution and you?

    Opinions on evolution vs. creationism vary between church members but personally I don't have any issue reconciling my faith with science. If you really start to study the origin of the universe science still cannot explain where matter came from or what caused the Big Bang in the first place...

    Differences and Similarities between the OCA and ROCOR

    ROCOR is Russian and therefore Communist. Communism == bad. I kid, I kid. :D

    OCA's Metropolitan Jonah Resigns

    I ain't Russian, moving to ROCOR would make no sense.

    Is it possible to be atheist and be saved?

    You'd have to ask God. ;) None of us can speak for Him.
