  • 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

    Should we have IQ tests or Psychological Evaluations before we can vote?

    I don't have that right but history does. They would be taken from common talking points and party mantras. It would also be based on common misconceptions on the issues. I didn't think of that, it could be open book. My thought was that people would learn more in preparation for it rather...

    Should we have IQ tests or Psychological Evaluations before we can vote?

    It is, if someone does not know the basic facts on the issue at hand then they do not deserve to help decide the issue at hand. This would go both ways of course if someone help liberal beliefs that do not line up with reality but the Fox News audience is the most prominent example. The...

    Should we have IQ tests or Psychological Evaluations before we can vote?

    It shouldn't be an IQ test or a psychological test but a test of basic facts taken from various talking points. Stuff like how many times the debt ceiling has been raised since it was created or how much the wars cost. The main problem right now is that too many people watch Fox news and get a...

    Why does God not speak with action rather then words?

    Looking at the amount of Christian factions there are it is evident his words are not clear. So why does God not communicate his will through actions?

    Dealing with a cultist

    Well I found out what church he goes to, it's a Calvary Chapel. I know he got involved with them through AA so that might help too. Any advice about talking to the elders would be appreciated.

    Dealing with a cultist

    It's possible, I haven't personally seen the father in over a decade, last time I did was before his conversion when he was raging drunk. Sadly the boy might have been better off if he still was a raging drunk. His mom is my aunt, and yeah they are divorced. Let's just say that him living...

    Dealing with a cultist

    They are the ones that PUT him into that home. He is part of a church with multiple branches, some kind of Baptist group or something. It's not a "cult of one" he is getting reenforcement from other people.

    Dealing with a cultist

    Technically he is not "abusing" my cousin, just creating an environment where he wants to kill himself. We are trying to build a case but without contact we don't have much to go on.

    Dealing with a cultist

    I just learned over Thanksgiving dinner that my 11yo cousin is basically being held prisoner by his EXTREMELY Christian father. By being held prisoner I mean that he has no access to a phone, internet, mail, or TV because apparently all those things are the devil. His father will also not...

    Poll: What would you do in this situation?

    They are also pro-IVF which ends up with dozens of embryos that are just tossed away.

    You say you love God, but why?

    So now Christians claim exclusive rights to "love". So murdering children can be "good" and "holy". That's not what the Bible says, it says that as long as the slave doesn't die it's OK. In either cause though you are regulating an unjust practice rather then eliminating it. This is what...

    You say you love God, but why?

    Does this mean that one cannot love without loving God? In other words you condone the actions in the OT because it was God that did them, even though you don't know why he did them. What is a sin and what is immoral and harmful are two different sets of things. It is a sin to work on the...

    You say you love God, but why?

    Satan is ALSO God's creation, so you can't just pass blame because that's just a shell game. Ultimately an all powerful God is responsible for EVERYTHING. Basically you would murder a child if your God asked you to and not even ask why. That's the issue isn't it. When your God story was...

    You say you love God, but why?

    Jesus was clear that salvation was through him alone and those that don't know him would not receive salvation. The natural consequence of this is that every civilization that didn't know him would be in hell simply because they never heard of him. Paul tried to dance around this issue but...

    You say you love God, but why?

    Except that you believe that all those civilizations are in hell because they didn't believe as you do. He murdered his children for disobeying him. It is interesting that what GOD deems appropriate was also what the people in the Bible found expedient, genocide or slavery for example. The...
