  • 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

    The gay marriage ban is powerless and pointless.

    "Name calling, plain and simple" Am I not allowed to state that I believe you are making a poor excuse? Instead of ducking the subject and making it about "name calling," why don't you tell me why children DO have something to do with it? That would actually work. That's how arguing works. I...

    The gay marriage ban is powerless and pointless.

    "Instead, we have an obviously politically motivated set of things being constantly put out by people with obvious political gains to be had by using this wedge issue to help divy up various constituencies." What are my "obvious political gains"? You don't know a thing about me, but you should...

    The gay marriage ban is powerless and pointless.

    Shane, I already addressed most of your points in my very first post... A point that we established a while back is that marriage does not cause children. Sperm and eggs do. Not all families involve married couples. Not all married couples involve children. Lesbian couples can have children...

    The gay marriage ban is powerless and pointless.

    Green Man, you've yet to mention a single decent secular reason why the ban should be passed. "Most people want it" isn't a valid reason. Majority rule isn't always justified, and it is not meant to be all powerful. The founders saw that it could be another form of tyranny, and that's why they...

    The gay marriage ban is powerless and pointless.

    Hum; sorry that I missed that. >< So, it is only considered discrimination if it involves an officially recognized privilege/immunity, correct? I'm disappointed, but you're right. I still believe the ban doesn't have enough purpose or urgence enough to make it a constitutional amendment...

    "You went to all the trouble of typing out your little diatribe,yet you miss the whole point of banning same sex marraige.Marraige is by definition,one man and one woman.Nothing can change that.If two homos want to live together til death,fine knock yourself out.Nobody said they can't do that...

    The gay marriage ban is powerless and pointless.

    Good point, Kedaman... very good point. Wouldn't have thought of that. If it's in the interests of the children, then just give benefits to all parents, single or married and forget about marriage bans. Besides, gay married couples will often adopt children, so they become parents as well. You...

    The gay marriage ban is powerless and pointless.

    This is a huge, long read, not for the faint of heart, so bear with me. --------------------------------------------------------------- A lot of Christians believe that the gay marriage ban will have more power than they think. The fact is, that the gay marriage ban has, literally...
