  • 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.

    how can I reconcile a huge moral dilemma when it comes to personal

    It's a very uncomfortable thing to talk about. You'd be surprised how common the particular fetish your husband has is. Everyone has degenerate fantasies, though most of us don't feel pressed to talk about them with strangers. Moreover, fetishized fantasies tend to be nothing more than that. So...

    If creationism is true, then why is it useless?

    I chuckled and now I'm ashamed.

    If creationism is true, then why is it useless?

    I haven't met a Christian yet that denies the existence of fossils, tectonic plates, or genes. Many have odd ideas about where and when they come from due to the literalism that many adhere to, but nothing that would prohibit most from performing those jobs adequately. Maybe if they're dating...

    The Impression we make on others

    I don't think there's anything wrong with being career-minded with church positions. It is a job. At least, it is when you're giving your all. Sure, it's nice to be friendly, maybe you could make a subtle suggestion to move things in that direction, but I don't think anyone will disagree with...

    Am I Stealing Gods Glory?

    There is nothing wrong with having pride in the good things you witness and participate in. Sometimes, things just don't work out as you expect, even when it comes to spreading the good word. Take it from a guy who knows tons of preachers and pastors and bishops, they mess up all the time. They...

    How can I believe from the heart?

    It moves pretty slowly, you need to watch the whole thing or not at all. I still recommend it, if you change your mind.

    Evolutionary Psychology, Evolutionary Biology, etc.

    If creationism is true, then why is it useless?

    Life's origin doesn't really have any implications, anyway. You can get through life just fine believing whatever you want on the subject with virtually zero issues. The only thing creationism handicaps you on is your competence in an evolutionary profession.

    is debt a form of slavery?

    National debt? Absolutely! Personal debt is more like indentured servitude.

    why did adolf hitler, become totally obsessed with killing all the jews in the world?

    A few things. Firstly, he noticed that Jews were in charge of all the most degenerate institutions and businesses in Germany, which was and is kinda true, since they basically run everything, on account of them being good a everything. An extension of this was a tight association in Hitler's...

    not favored

    Are you unconcentrated and chaotic? Or even just generally less productive than you should be? If so, you deal with it by becoming better at your job. If it's unjust, you can pray, or quit to find another job, or any number of things, really.

    Antichristian agenda to exclude Christians

    Well... no... not really... at all. Pretty backwards, but not even principally close to purchasing restrictions.

    Dating within Bible Study??

    Widows are an exception, but would you really contend that someone who chooses an abuser or an addict for a partner has no responsibility? Those traits usually aren't hard to see, and if you don't take the time to thoroughly know a person before having children with them, you aren't making good...

    Dating within Bible Study??

    I have family members who struggle with relationships in your age group. The biggest problem for them seems to be that all the quality women are married, and those that are left are either single parents, in which case, they can't be trusted to make good decisions, and they're a financial...
