  • 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

    Worst U.S. president in your lifetime and recollection

    While you are correct about the fact that it is hard to judge the long -term standing of current president in history, (Nixon, for example) one can see disturbing trends after more than 5 years in office. Bush promised before his first election to make Latin America a priorty. He hasn't hardly...

    Still Attracted To Your Spouse?

    There is no guarantee. I guess you are right. But sexiness starts in the head, not the stomach. If you make her feel sexy, I bet you she will be even if she gains a stone or two over the years. I know my wife thought I was handsome when we married and found me attractive, but I'm carrying...

    Still Attracted To Your Spouse?

    You might ought to think of the mother's character, not her body size. You know when I married my wife more than 20 years ago, I looked at her mom and thought, "could I live with someone like that? and I said, yes. Not by her looks but by her character. My wife was 105 pound beauty. Her mom...

    Worst U.S. president in your lifetime and recollection

    The problem is her down side numbers. She definitely has a large downside. There are people who wouldn't vote for her if she served them all with a check for $50,000. On the the Republican side there aren't many who aren't tainted by Bush. Maybe McCain might be electable, but I don't know if...

    Worst U.S. president in your lifetime and recollection

    Indeed a very good question. In spite of being a crook and a liar, Nixon actually did do some positive things which led to more world stability and the defusing of an out of control arms race. LBJ got stuck in a war he couldn't win and didn't have the guts to get out of. He was great on civil...

    Worst U.S. president in your lifetime and recollection

    How old are you? Do you remember anything prior to 1990? You have a right to your opinion but you tell us who were the greatest amd who were the worst without any commentary. Why would you make those declarations? Why was FDR one of the worst ever? Why Carter? What makes you so sure that in...

    Greatest Actor of our Time?

    Morgan Freeman is probably one of the most versatile actors out there. He can be kind or as rough-edged as they come. He really plays parts well. Another great one is Anthony Hopkins And until the Cheaper by the dozen shows... Steve Martin. Such a great physical comedian without having to...

    Death row elder needed 2 injections

    I suppose I am, at least in the U.S. But it strikes me odd that it has been for centuries, especially since the reformation, Christians wholed the fight to keep children from going to jail, to stop debtors prisons, to safeguard the rights of the accused. It seems odd that we, as followers of...

    Death row elder needed 2 injections

    Although I agree with most of your post, we DON'T have absolute knowledge, I disagree with your opening line, as a Christian. I believe the new covenant in Christ's blood has made the death penalty obsolete. I do not think we (or the government) have the God-given right (or some would claim...

    There is one thing I have really noticed in this forum..

    But many have a Messiah complex. They want to solve everyone'e problems, whether they want them solved or not. I think as Christians we should be more forgiving. I am not saying that we can't stand for what we believe but we must accept that we are fallible human beings and that we do NOT...

    Boys' Activities: Is Knitting Okay?

    I think that knowledge and skills are valuable for all of us. There are many things I learned from my dad and mom that have helped me be a better husband and father. Some of those are cook, vacuum, do laundry, as well as run an electric saw, a drill, change the oil in the car, etc. Some of...

    Death row elder needed 2 injections

    I wouldn't say you were acting more mature. I would say you are reacting on instinct. Of course we all would want to protect our families from harm... especially those of us who are married and have children. But there is a difference between protection and vengeance. The Lord said vengeance...

    ¡discutamos!

    Creo que ahora, después de siglos y siglos de definir el matrimonio como una unión de por vida entre un hombre y una mujer, los homosexuales y otros quieren cambiarlo todo. Por eso, yo dije en un post previo que no podemos autodenominar las cosas como nos plazca. Y parece que todos estuvieran...

    Death row elder needed 2 injections

    How about those who killed Jesus? Did they deserve to live? Yet there they were listening to Peter preach a few weeks later and many came to know Him. What about Paul? Certainly that scumbag had no right to go on living while his applauding murder, dragging women and children from their...

    What are your views on Billy Graham?

    My in-laws came to Christ thanks to him. My wife wound up moving to an evangelical church because of that and through God's providence we came together. I have always respected him and believe that he was one of the few Chrisitians who has really tried to do what he felt the Lord wanted him to...
