  • 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.

    Rock Tumblers

    I had a rock tumbler when I was younger. It was small and simple, but it made beautiful rocks. I suggest a tumbler you can afford and easily work with. Either way, I assure you, it will be fun.

    Open Source Religion

    Hello everyone, I have been studying religions and how they change and evolve over time. I am interested in how dogmas and believes form and fade away. To help my studies, I have built a website to create an open source religion (OSR). I would like to get feedback on both the idea and the...

    Quit smoking Tips, Withdrawal symptoms and Benefits

    Another good tip. Ask your friends for help. Make them promise to give you something rewarding for not smoking for a certain amount of time. A back massage every other day, for example. The length of the massage could increase with each passing day, if you smoke, the length goes back down to...

    What is MY Religion?

    In a sense, everyone has their own personal religion. I would suggest finding a church who accepts different beliefs and get to know people there. Talk about your beliefs with those people and solidify your faith. It is more important to find a religion you are comfortable with than to find...

    How long is "long enough" before getting engaged?

    I must say, at least two years. And go through many trials. If you are together for two years, off and on, and barely see each other, and never have any disagreements, you two need to spend more time together, find out how you disagree, and see if you can communicate and resolve your...

    Baby Mama Drama?

    That's almost reason enough to get out of there. But honestly, you need to talk to him about her. If she's acting like this, then they haven't settled things yet. (which is often hard with a kid involved) They need to settle things before either one of them will be OK with getting into...

    Baby Mama Drama?

    Take things slow, and as always, be open and honest about how you feel. Many people will try to ignore what's bothering them until it is too late. Then they suddenly leave without notice, leaving the other to wonder what just happened. God Bless.

    Define "serious"

    This is actually good advice. The truth is, there is no real definition of 'serious' you can use. So joking around with whoever asks is a good way to start. If the person asking is really interested, you can then continue to explain where you and your SO really are in your relationship.

    My Friend

    Encourage your friend to seek a counselor. Be patient and open with her. Do not force her to do anything she does not really want to do. That will only make the situation worse. God Bless.

    Seeking help

    Therapy can really help, you will need to work very hard and be open and honest with the psychotherapist. It's a difficult path, but a very rewarding one. Also, if you feel uncomfortable with your therapist, you should get a new one you can be comfortable with. P.S. I am praying for you.
