  • 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

    Poll: 77% of Democrats with 4-Year Degrees Think Sex Not Determined at Birth

    Slavery in the bible.

    Not really. I think that theological doctors, such as Martin Luther King Jr, had a better understanding of the text of the Bible than most atheists. Now there was someone who could see the forest for the trees. Those who have ears, hear; those who have eyes, see; and for the rest, well a little...

    Oxford teacher faces action over 'misgendering' pupil

    It is like the parents of the 2000 people referring their children to the specialists are in effect throwing acid into the eyes of their own babies. It is child abuse to mess around with your kids like that.

    Voting Christian immoral values.

    The Mark Foley scandal was a major contributor to the Republicans losing control of Congress back in 2006 or so. Character still very much mattered to the Republican voter back then. They did not tolerate their family values Republicans acting like a bunch of Democrats. For Democratic voters...

    why have neo nazis, become totally obsessed with killing all the jews in the world?

    Maybe the higher intelligence of Jews is due to evolution. The constant environment of genocidal persecution had the effect of naturally selecting those with the enough intelligence to survive such severe circumstances. Some people have mused that compared to Catholic Europe where the highest...

    Poll: 77% of Democrats with 4-Year Degrees Think Sex Not Determined at Birth

    Are Republicans with four years of education going to a better type of school, or is it just a matter of conservatives having more common sense?

    I have already given a response to that kind of objection. If you are really interested in engaging me, it is time for you to read some of the posts I have placed here.

    Slavery in the bible.

    There are Christians who believe in the flat earth, and that the moon is the source of its own light, and any number of things. It doesn't mean that the problem of slavery has not already been solved, in the nineteenth century, by Christians reading their Bible seriously.

    Slavery in the bible.

    My argument was never that the issue being settled excuses or in any way erases the past. My argument has always been that the issue has been settled, in the nineteenth century, by Christians taking their Bibles seriously I have also made the argument that the bible is a very complex book, and...

    Slavery in the bible.

    No, it was not like that for the Hebrew. Jubilee year, for example, entailed setting slaves free. There is a lot more to it than the word "slave" as understood in the modern context would imply. In Egypt though, people were born into slavery and died in it, according to the 500 year enslavement...

    Slavery in the bible.

    It has already been mentioned ad nauseum. What is forgotten is that it is Christians reading the Bible that kicked the butt of slavery. And God kicking Pharaohs butt is a pretty clear idea of what God thinks of oppression, for those who have ears to hear. Few hear that though.
