  • 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.

    {MOVED} Giving up, considering posting this on FB. Really need help right now.

    OP. I've been there, done that. You should hang tough, persevere, read your Bible and pray... to strengthen your relationship with the God who loves you, when others dont. Some else posted that Christian's who act like jerks are like naughty children and I agree. GOD IS NOT like 'them'. In...

    I hate my 53 year old Life

    Gentlemen, Thank you for your replies, advice and prayers. I read each of them and replied to most of them. I was expecting to be flamed... I am relieved to read your sympathetic responses. Since July 2nd... the date of my post, much has happened. Not much has been resolved. My wife has...

    I hate my 53 year old Life

    I love my daughters unconditionally. The thing that hurts is my 'failure'. They rejected my faith, which means I failed... maybe not true, but that's my hurt. No, my daughters rejected me because I kept one of them from spreading her legs too soon, and both grew up with their mother and her...

    I hate my 53 year old Life

    I hope to become the man God wants, and still I believe that God wants me to be the recipient of a sound beating when I enter His presence. He is Good, I get it... I'm the worthless one because I blew my life, putting a Bible band-aid on my desire to get laid, be happy. You may find me in...

    I hate my 53 year old Life

    Thank you. At this point I can be 'happy' alone. I enjoy getting away from the city and beeping electronics and into hiking trails.

    I hate my 53 year old Life

    What do You do when you're stuck? My issues came to a head after a Mens breakfast at church, which I walked out of... I have never been good at defending myself or sticking to my guns... demanding what I want and need. Now, here comes God/The Church. I'm told to lay down my needs and desires...

    How do some people have kids when it's such a coin toss?

    Thanks for asking. I want to tone down my earlier post. I wish I had not had children. Life is a crapshoot. I baptized my children, led spirituallly, I love God and loved them the best I could. It has hurt me a great deal. Parenthood, I believe, is a draining experience. Having said that...

    How do some people have kids when it's such a coin toss?

    It's also REAL.I've lived with almost 30 years of needless pain and I warn others to avoid it. Smile and wave. Okay?
