  • 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

    Protestant Reformers Authorize Murder and Torture

    None of this stuff matters at all. Both the Catholics and the Protestants who tortured people in the past have lived and died. It's in the past. It's not like today's Catholics and Protestants have personally tortured people. That's the same as accusing a modern-day Belgian of conquering the...

    ** SPOILERS** Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

    man, absolutely thrilling book. I think it's most depressing that HP won't be returning to Hogwarts. That was the whole point of the books anyway, right? Too bad about ginny.
