  • 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

    Why don't Christians see LDS has the complete truth?

    No, God was not a created being, nor was Jesus, as they are defined by LDS doctrine. Just not, Cassi. To say that they were is, to use an antique word, blasphemy. God was once a man on a planet like this...achieved exaltation, etc., etc? That's way beyond "unorthodox."

    speaking against the holy spirit

    ...it was just a random musing, not worthy of a thread. Peace and love.

    speaking against the holy spirit

    Given that, what did BY mean by this: "Now if any of you will deny the plurality of wives, and continue to do so, I promise that you will be damned," (Journal of Discourses, vol. 3, p. 266). Also, "The only men who become Gods, even the Sons of God, are those who enter into polygamy," (Journal...

    A riddle

    We are saved by God's grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone. Why is that a particularly difficult concept? You can't out-love God no matter what you do. Peace and Love

    What's the truth about abortion?

    Murder, most foul.

    God <<staff edit>> America!

    No, but not because they're not welcome. And not because they are ostrasized (to exclude, by general consent, from society, friendship, conversation, privileges, etc.). Today I saw blacks, Asians, and an Indian couple. They are all regulars, not Easter attendees. Over Spring Break (just...

    God <<staff edit>> America!

    In 2000 our choices were Bush and Gore. Bush was the governor of my state and pretty good at it. Gore was the #2 man in the most corrupt administration of the 20th century. Four years later it was Kerry. In 1971, speaking before Congress, he said that I killed babies, cut off ears and acted...

    God <<staff edit>> America!

    Never heard this ~ what's your source? If a cigarette (one "r") company advertises in a given area, how is that racism? How do you know that there (not "their") are more? Again, what are your sources? Also, what is the point of the lung cancer comment and what are your sources? Yeah, I...

    God <<staff edit>> America!

    I was born in 1945, raised in Dallas. Schools were segregated, so I really never knew anyone of color. When I was about 15 I was at a lunch counter in downtown Dallas with two friends. Three black girls, about our age, sat down and were asked to leave. Winessing that was like a knife in my...

    Calling all Sailors

    I belong to a site for current and former sailors that is pretty cool. There are currently over 200,000 members on board, so it's a good place to look for former shipmates. Interesting forums, too. If interested, send a PM and I will get the info to you. Peace and love.

    John McCain pro/con

    I mostly support McCain ~ we both served aboard USS Intrepid ~ but also was concerned about his age. Curious, I checked Churchill's time as PM. In 1941, when the US entered the war, he was 68 years old. He was 71 when the war ended. Incredibly, he lost the election in 1945 as the war was winding...

    Blame Yourself

    I agree! Is there any cash award associated with that!? ;)
