  • 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

    Wondering if this makes sense

    I've been thinking about the Big Bang lately and I reached a conclusion. If the Big Bang did transpire, it would be impossible for it to happen without a God. Everything in nature that has ever been done has had a reason behind it, right? The reason that rock fell was because the ground shook...

    Anyone know of a few nice Orthodox cross necklaces?

    On my trip to Ethiopia I found some beautiful Coptic crosses (Even though I may not be one, I do admire there beauty). Nowadays I am a mix of several denominations, including Eastern Orthodox, I also find the Eastern Orthodox crosses very majestic. Anyone have a link to a cross-necklace I can buy?

    How to become devoted to the pacifism taught by Jesus?

    Thank you for your insight :). I have begun to think the violence Jesus speaks of in the Bible is violence with evil intent, not just people doing it for fun and treat each other as equal human beings.

    How to become devoted to the pacifism taught by Jesus?

    I have always had a love for the art of fighting, however I now know that Jesus does not approve of fighting, even if it is sparring between friends. I want to become a pacifist, but I still love fighting and I want to stop? Should I pray to the LORD to help me? What else can I do?

    Latest on Ferguson .

    That doesn't disprove my post. I said those in poverty commit more crime, and those who committed the crimes were poor. Gangs serve as a "way out" for the poor youth, they get a sense of brotherhood and fraternity. Gangs also tend to be extremely violent, and the higher ups force the new...

    I see that argument everywhere yet it does not stay with the facts: I am not denying their are outliers. My parents also came from extreme poverty, a poverty I can only imagine. A majority of the poor do not commit crime, but the percentage of the poor that do commit crime is exponentially...

    It is the same in Eastern Europe- those with less commit more crime. Same in Africa, same in the favelas of Brazil, same with the poor in Bangkok. It is a world wide, it is human nature. Sadly, those with less commit more crime simply because it is way easier to rationalize theft and gang...

    This is pretty simple: The poor stay poor without an exterior force stopping them from being poor. The poor also engage in the most crime (Not saying all of them do, but a disproportionate amount of criminals are poor). The reason blacks started off in the ghettos was obviously because...

    I don't think you understand what a causal relationship is. Poor people commit more crime, it is well documented and I think most people agree (Obviously not all poor people commit crime). Black people are mostly poor, therefore they commit the most crime. If you switch the economic conditions...
