  • 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

    Just a question . . .

    I am not sure when I did, frankly. At some point I did. (all of the males in my family have a hard time remembering earlier things, my wife, OTH, can recall when she was two. Go figure.) What rekindled, hmmm, nothing in particular, except I do belive that 'the unexamined life is not worth...

    Kierkegaard, a new biography. "That Single Individual".

    Anybody with Kierkegaard in their sig is crazy. (Of course this won't be funny when I change my sig . . .)

    Just a question . . .

    I have a question that self-study has not answered. It's a bit of a funny question, but looking back at my life I need to know: "What happened?" i don;t clearly recall my childhood well, but I was raised Catholic and would like to know more about some of the things I did. A little about myself...

    Do people who commit suicide go to hell?

    Hate to copy another's post but that pretty much is the answer. Some do and some don't. (Not that act that sends them to hell, though, not in the bible that I read)

    Funny enough - the OP was solicting opinions and we gave him one. And I certainly do not think that the use of scripture here was used "against" anyone. So "proving others wrong" here was never a factor to me. But if you want to make this easier on anyone here then please let's look at how at...

    Why do we choose not to depict

    I spend a lot of time on the streets as a law enforcement officer. I really just want to say that it really goes both ways - i see about equal amounts of bling bling crosses and crucifixes nowadays.

    I really have to concur on this post - I also was a big fan of both RZ and Manson until I was born again. I would say to the OP - both of these guys are doing it for "the entertainment value", and they are sitting in their mansions laughing about it. And as this poster wrote, seriously...

    Why do you choose to depict

    Oh absolutely, I truly do not feel that it is a personal issue at all - I appreciate the responses. And I was sort of aiming my answer at the question "Why do some Protestants object to seeing what He did for us?" and that was to try to address to some degree that some Protestants feel that...

    Praying with Protestants

    First of all, certainly the ideas of what "There is no salvation outside of the Church". I am not sure that I can go into further detail into that, I think it best that I sort of stay back and see what other Catholics say about this. I do understand that the language used in that expression...

    Why do you choose to depict

    No, many think that it doesn't matter how He is depicted, just that any depiction is short of reality. That can be disturbing to many people, and I am sure that you have heaerd the Protestant arguments concerning the same. I offer this as not the argument that the crucifix is wrong or...

    Praying with Protestants

    Apparently not many becuase many of the posts I read contradict much of what I have learned about Catholicism. I mean (Catholics here) are you pretty much in agreement with what has been posted because I really didn't get any of that from hanging out in GT for the last year. Guess I'll lurk...
