  • 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.

    Help Me Understand Why it's "Moral" To Keep Terri's Body Alive

    Here's what I don't understand... As a christian, or, more specifically, a Catholic, don't they believe that when she dies she will go to Heaven where her body will be made perfect and whole again? If they really believe that, aren't they doing a horrible and selfish thing by keeping her alive...

    Okay, so, the short version goes like this. About a year ago my mom ran away from her husband because of alcohol and abuse issues. They weren't horrible, but she was scared so she fled her home in Florida to come out here (TX) and live in my sisters rental. She was away from him... he didn't...

    Question for Jews

    When I was a kid we went to a baptist church sometimes. When I made the decision to start going by myself, I went to a United Pentecostal Church. That was when I was 16 and I went there until I was 22. I decided that the UPC was quite often full of beans and began going to a...

    My Loneliness

    oh... and I forgot to mention something else... since you are not shy online, and you are looking for a wife, maybe you should consider some internet dating sites. You might find what you are looking for there. But, I'd tread lightly on talking about your expectations... You wouldn't want to...

    My Loneliness

    I understand your wanting to marry a virgin... So, I'm not going to say anything about that, but I do have a few thoughts that I think you should consider. These days, it is a very sheltered person, much like yourself, who has never even kissed anyone. So, here's my thoughts on the...

    How did it get here?

    I can't really tell if your agreeing with me or not. The Deist god and the Christian god are differant. Most of our founding fathers were deist. They believed in religious freedom... that doesn't mean freedom to be whatever brand of christian you choose. I like living in a country that is...

    Question for Jews

    Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. We had a black out... bye-bye computer!! That is a good question, that I am still trying to answer. For a while, I said that I was athiest. Intellectually, I still am, but emotionally, I'm having a hard time committing... That's why my religion icon...

    The right and moral thing to do?

    I agree that it's a mean trick, but put yourself in the husbands place. Imagine... You have a problem and you come up with a way to deal with it... Maybe it isn't a very nice way, but it's what you've decided to do. You tell your husband, who you are supposed to trust and be able to tell...

    Help me understand Biblical truth.

    You have the choice of two emotions here... The first being that the god of the bible is not one that you can respect and love, based on the fact that he clearly doesn't love you unconditionally or else he couldn't do the things he did. i.e. I love my kids unconditionally, so they can hate...

    The right and moral thing to do?

    The girl also has the right to go to work and do her job. She should be looking for a new job in her free time. Clearly, you are misunderstanding me. I don't think what he's doing is right and I would have a lot to say about it if it was my husband, trust me... But I'd say it to him...
