  • 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

    Obamacare's Rough Day in Court

    Let's see how they rule; but I think the mandatory insurance provision is quite vulnerable. And should be. (I'd also take it as a personal favor if they'd reverse the law banning the 100 watt incandescent bulb.)

    News to me

    It's been read that way but, oddly enough, nobody seems to know of another instance where God personally ordered it.

    what do you think peacock feathers represent?

    Go with what works for you. This thread is a good example of something important: Dream symbols are highly personal and tailored to the individual dreamer. If we've given you some ideas, great!; but ultimately the meaning is yours to determine.

    News to me

    It was far more often the case, certainly from 1520 0n, that: 1. Europeans came to the Americas and were befriended by the indigenous peoples. 2. The Europeans, often on the specific basis of Chyristianity and/or the Book of Joshua, declared themselves a superior people and encroached on...

    "What to wear" advice from a chef

    Looks like he cooked up a good recipe for bridging the gap.

    what do you think peacock feathers represent?

    What do they make you think of? That's probably your best clue. When NBC delevoped color TV back in the Fifties, they adopted their peacock logo as a way of showing how many different colors you could see. (The drawback, of course, was that until you bought a color TV, all you saw was black...

    The Beginning of Revival

    Annoying as it is, it's not that important that you lost the content. You did get the message. Just keep in mind that "revival" has many meanings. It may not be on a grand scale. That "fulfilled promise" is a revival in and of itself: of hopes, dreams and a longed-for future. It's pretty...

    I am now a registered gun owner

    Once that weapon is in your hand, forget jujitsu. And emphasize that two rounds/two seconds/seven feet in your practice. If you know martial arts, I don't have to tell you: speed counts. And you'll likely be using that pistol as "up close and personal" as you do your hands and arms. By...

    How bad is it when the KKK hates you?

    Fred Phelps was not a civil rights activist. He accepted civil rights cases as plaintiff's attorney which any other lawyer would have told the client there was no chance of winning and, rather than set a contingent fee, demanded a straight fee. He was subsequently permanently disbarred by the...

    How do you deal with the loss of older generations?

    My own experience: You'll be surprised how ready you are when you get there. Not that you won't make your mistakes and have your wrong turnings; so did they; but if they've set the example you seem to think they have, you'll do fine. Meantime, go ask a few of them. After all, they're the...

    I am now a registered gun owner

    What bothers me as an ex-LEO is the overconfidence you're displaying. You'd be amazed how many people could get that thing away from you and put it where the sun don't shine. Get back with your trooper friend and see if he can't somehow get you into the FBI/NRA Police Pistol Combat Course and a...

    Sorting pictures

    Sounds to me as though your psyche is picking up on a way in which the two of you are different. If you have enough recall of the dream, it might be worth looking at why your reaction was as it was. More important, though, is what your emotional reaction was. If it went beyond momentary, mild...

    [Moved from Singles] Can hypocrisy be proven?

    The flip side is the many non-Christians who never miss an opportunity to accuse Christians of hypocrisy. This is why we're told "Judge not, lest ye be judged," which is followed by the admonition that it is as we judge others that we ourselves will be judged. Our hypothetical college...

    braille piano music and chef

    An interesting paradox here: How would a blind person simultaneously read and play that music? You, a sighted person, are necessary to make this tool for the blind work. I'd say offhand that your train has arrived at its destination; and that that guard/servant/gentleman/knight is currently...
