  • 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

    Is it okay to be friends with someone just because they are rich or have connections?

    Perhaps you should give me you're definition of a friend before you start judging mine. I would try to help almost anyone in dire need of it because I get an emotional satisfaction from doing so. I try not to surround myself with people who don't in some way have a positive effect on me. Not...

    Is it okay to be friends with someone just because they are rich or have connections?

    sure it is. It's called social networking, and I think most people do it. However, you may have to define you're own standards for what qualifies someone as a friend. I consider almost anyone who can benefit me in a positive way to be a friend of some sort.

    Irresponsible if not immoral?

    I guess I'm not sure how your previous post addressed mine then. I never claimed to have a 21yr old child, or any child for that matter. Although a 21yr old isn't legally a child, I suspect to a lot of parents, their kid remains their kid no matter how old they get. It's good that some...

    Irresponsible if not immoral?

    That's not the point though, so let me try and phrase it a different way. When I was in school, students were given 50 minutes to complete an exam. Some students needed every minute of the time, and others only needed 15-20. However, every student was given the same amount of time whether they...

    Irresponsible if not immoral?

    That could be true, but all children should be afforded an equal opportunity at getting the attention they need from their parents. It's harder to do that when you have as many kids as the Duggers. When I was in the public school system, their were certain kids that didn't need as much help as...

    Irresponsible if not immoral?

    I think the argument could also be if the Duggers cared for their children, why do they keep having more? Everytime they have a child they have to divide there time and resources again, resulting in each child recieveing less than they normally would. The morality of it depends on the...

    Irresponsible if not immoral?

    Absolutely irresponsible and based on my personal views of morality, I'd say it's immoral as well. I don't see children as "limited time only collectibles". The Duggers clearly have a lot of love to give but I think mutiplying like rabbits is going about it in a harmful way. Most parents would...

    Right or wrong

    I try and imagine all of the positive and negative consequences for myself and others. Whatever action I believe would have the least negative consequences, I go with. I think our thoughts and feelings help us determine behavior. They are what help me decide whether a particular behavior is...

    What is your ultimate goal in life?

    My day-to-day life gives me enough to think about as it is.

    Welcome to the shiny new forum

    That's a different subforum with a different objective. I didn't see many nonchristian posting there. In accordance with the Debate rule, christians are not allowed to debate with other christians on this section of the forum, so unfortunately without us, here it won't be much of a "Den of Lions."

    Welcome to the shiny new forum

    I return to CF and this is what GA has been reduced to...I don't expect you'll find much discussion here that doesn't involve christians agreeing with other christians. Best of luck to all who choose to continue to participate. I won't be one of them.

    Why Not Ron Paul

    To be honest I don't know much about Ron Paul and that's mostly because he doesn't get as much attention from the media as other candidates. However if he said this I agree with him, and I don't understand what type of rational person wouldn't want to understand their enemies. This is just a...

    Evolution can't account for beauty, the poetic or the sublime while Creationism does

    Beauty is subjective. Evolution produces some beautiful things we can agree are beautiful, and sometimes it produces things we disagree are beautiful. Now, certainly your argument has more to it than your insipid feelings. Creationism encourages people to attempt at getting away with not...

    How is evolution in conflict with the Bible?

    It's a shame that the only power you have is making vague threats with no substance to them.

    How is evolution in conflict with the Bible?

    Wow littlenipper this is pathetic. Just answer the question about whether or not your god can break the laws of geometry and stop avoiding it.
