  • 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.

    Break out the SUVs, and get rid of the hybrids; Ice age coming?

    Wow. Don't you think he sounds a bit... Nostradamus-ey? The link to the article isn't working and I'm having trouble finding a copy of it on a Google search. I'd like to get some idea of what his reasons are for saying such things... he seems to be trying to prophesy and attribute it to science...

    My meeting with Christ

    You have a nice story. I love to see people reach out to each other like that... a simple, perhaps divinely inspired message can do more to change a person's life than most people realize.

    Sunday School for Atheists

    Where's the problem here? Many kids who aren't taught critical thinking skills are susceptible to falling into "false faith" - where they profess belief in something (and even think they DO believe it) without really thinking it through and verifying the truth of the belief. If someone's faith...
