  • 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.

    Man that was iritating...

    Yep, I probably am distracted by the church as it is in everyday life. The trouble with faith is it is by definition intangible, and although I used to believe in my teens I cant bring back to mind what made me so sure. I cant help looking to earth based evidence...aka the church/christians...

    Man that was iritating...

    Thank you for taking time to consider and reply. I relate to not judging religeon based on what christians say, good advice ... I have a lot of christian friends, some are wonderful people, others, well, not a good advert. The piece I read quoted a lot of bible passages. Unless you go to...

    Saying hello to whoever's out there in the ether...

    Hi, I think I'm listed as 'seeking'. Basically found faith as a teenager, was going to church/house group/youth group, very involved, seemingly very solid faith. A few things happened and to cut a long story short it's been twenty years and for reasons I'm not entirely sure I'm back thinking...
