  • 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

    On the spectrum, don't want to be "healed"

    I realize that autism can be, for some, such a burden that it becomes a significant disability. I am not speaking of that situation because I have no familiarity with it. So please don't take what follows as applying to that form of the disorder, because it's not how I meant it. However, I'm...

    The importance of the marriage bed vs time w/ siblings

    Ironically, we used to joke about couples that took separate vacations! But this is different, one would surmise, as it's to visit family, not France. Nonetheless, yes, we have discussed it, and my wife is adamant - it's one week a year, no negotiation (in this case, not like her typically).

    The importance of the marriage bed vs time w/ siblings

    Thanks! I appreciate the well-considered feedback. To be clear I'm only asking she stay with me those couple nights after she's been at the sister's 4-5 days and then I arrive in town. If she didn't already have that run of 4-5 sleepovers in a row under her belt, I wouldn't even think of...

    The importance of the marriage bed vs time w/ siblings

    So there's a tradeoff I'm not sure how to handle. Once or twice a year, my wife flies off to visit her sister back in our old hometown. I have a bit of family there too, so I go in for the last three days of that week trip to visit. Because I cannot stay in the sister's basement (assume...

    Marijuana - a gift from God or a gateway to sin?

    This is just whack full of misinformation... like in the study you mention, the IQ drop is only while high! It's also not a neurotoxin, that's nonsense. Traffic deaths decreased in WA and CO. Opiate deaths dropped by THOUSANDS and no one has ever overdosed on THC, so your attitude COULD be...

    Lawsuits and the Gospel

    In the gospel there is a section where Jesus advises, if you are sued for your hat to settle and give him your cloak as well (sorry, I know I've mangled that a bit, but I'm sure you know to where I refer). What about cases where its a "shakedown", or settling would require wrongly admitting...
