  • 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

    So if I made that statement truly then does it mean that every action I do means that I am giving my life to the devil????

    Hi so it had gotten a lot better. And I could fully function and it was great but now I fear that I'm going to say that everything I do signifies me giving my life to the devil or something and so I said to myself look everything you do does not signify that. But then I felt like I agreed with a...

    True :) No one (I think) is acting godly, they are just normal human beings who are Christian we all talk about normal stuff haha :) What do you mean by spiritually minded?

    No, I'm afraid I'm actually making vows now because my OCD wants me to take risks and it says stuff like, If you get this next problem right then you don't have to make a vow. But if you don't get this problem right then you will make that vow. So I do have some pride in my intelligence so I...

    Hey so I feel like I have almost no free will. The OCD is pressing so much that it's like you're bound to fail at some time. I'm trying to ignore but I have so much anxiety again it's really hard. It's like it presses on you and tempts you to take a risk like I said and I think it is me not OCD...

    Well, I cleared it up; You can't make a vow unconsciously or vow something that you didn't know you were vowing to--that's an accident. But even if I did-- I just don't think I could stop laughing. And I look back and they don't seem like vows anymore. Also update-- yesterday was probably one of...

    So, I was trying to ignore and eat goldfish; and then I started fearing that I would vow because of rebellion's sake but I forced down another piece of goldfish and then either I had a thought that okay so you ate that piece of goldfish so if you "vowed" something for rebellion's sake then these...

    It feels so real. Like I don't care about myself anymore or something. And I want to "be free" and take risks and be rebellious because I've always been the "good child". And honestly perhaps these are real desires but also I know that that is all so foolish and I can be free in other ways. I'd...

    I am not because now I feel like or my OCD tells me I should make a risk and vow for risk's sake. I should "live in the moment" because I've been fearing it for so long and i should have freedom and just vow it. Aghhhhh. Maybe I do want have freedom and I've had the chains of OCD so long but I...

    Also, I sometimes do have bad thoughts about God and that's not OCD. I'm just angry and bitter sometimes :( But I still trust Him and I have to keep choosing to too.
