  • 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.

    Heal Your Mania & Depression

    I very much agree with you Madisson1101. The reason I am purposefully weaning myself from the word of God, is that I hope through the process of bottom up discovery, I will discover the truths that I have learned top-down style, and is no one in denial of the word of God, that is why I feel a...

    Heal Your Mania & Depression

    yes I have, well it has been a long time Theofane, since I have revisited. I am shameful for this, but I need my mind to be clear on this spiritual journey I have undertaken, and I have actually tried avoiding reading anything written by man, and only try "reading" nature... as nature is the...

    Heal Your Mania & Depression

    I am a fan of accelerated online therapy sessions. Please be respectful of my time here. And take advantage as my time is available. I make a once a year pilgrimage to this wonderful place, ChristianForums.com As my family has a Christian background. <edit> I look forward to those of you...

    Can I be sucessful in sales and still be ethical?

    Sbbq -- I appreciate your well thought out and mature response. my reference to Jewish people was a joke. I merely try to make a point that just because an action causes some good consequences does not justify the initial action. Let's get back to the institution of "insurance" and...

    Real Proof man does not evolve

    "real proof man does not evolve." I don't see any proof here. You determine human evolution by examining our ability to efficiently murder each other? That is an arbitrary measure of evolution, what made you choose killing efficiency as your measuring criteria? and who is this "they" you...

    Islam and the Founding Fathers

    thank you for sharing. this post gives me hope. this is the most open minded thing I've found on this site so far, yet the least amount of views and replies. I tend to imagine that people actively ignore what they wish not to see-- and actively search what agrees with them. what do you think?

    Is the American Dream at odds with Christianity?

    I think the "American Dream" as it becomes defined to us via the media is at odds with many religious views and ways of living. Consumerism to be specific-- that mass hording of materialistic goods. This is pounded into our psyche the minute we're old enough to comprehend Sesame Street. The...

    Low Seratonin related to low sex drive?

    would it make sense to explore deeper issues of happiness, such as-- what life events were going on when both of you were happy? was there more to be happy about? is this a midlife crisis where she might be expressing general dissatisfaction with the way things are? Sometimes we get so caught...

    Anger Issues

    Andrew. You should examine the intent behind your anger. Excessive anger directed at an external object might stem from dissatisfaction with one's self. Maybe you are insecure with something within yourself, but in an attempt to shield your insecurity you take it out on something or someone...

    Eastern philosophy/Islamic books - should I sell or destroy?

    I would not think it correct to burn a bible either, if it were not in alignment with one's beliefs. Censorship is not the way to go regardless of your religion. Censorship is a form of denial, because you have not destroyed the information, only have become ignorant to its existence. What...

    Can I be sucessful in sales and still be ethical?

    sbbqb... you miss the point. I'm merely suggesting that you are promoting an "evil" because it has "good" consequences. Was Hitler right for murdering a bunch of Jews because he's doing the world a favor? Just because you get the safety net of security when someone smashes into you or...

    Finally ready to tell my story.

    everything about that relationship is wrong: 1)big insecurity in that guy and it shows in his controlling nature. don't let anyone control you like this ever again 2)not letting guys talk to you-- insecurity about you leaving him for one of those guys. if the bond of love is strong, and...

    Was Adam Insane?

    oh he knew full well what he was getting into and was trying to show off for Eve. It's like us blaming the credit card companies when we knew full well that we had to pay the [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse]ing money back! stop...

    Self vanity

    I clicked on the thread for narcissistic reasons. I thought you were going to have a mirror or something here so I could look at myself some more. I think you are insecure about something. That's why the quick defense when someone claims to be better than you. Either you actually think you're...
