  • 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

    It certainly does; though you have to wonder who took the picture and exactly where were they standing. :)

    Nonfiction

    I like both fiction and non-fiction. I think you can learn a lot from both. For instance I just finished reading Life of Pi and rereading The Brothers Karamazov. While both these books are fiction, I think you can learn more about human nature and society from them, then by reading many...

    Muriatic Conspiracy?

    Yes, but you might be more reasonable than some people. The warnings about hot coffee are there because someone did burn themselves and then sued. (McDonalds I think.) Companies have to worry about the illogical and irresponsible among us. For instance it there were no warnings, then a parent...

    Muriatic Conspiracy?

    I used to clean a filter on a water filtration system using Muriatic Acid. ((Hydrochloric acid (HCl)) It disolved certain minerals I believe. I wasn't as cautious as I should have been and spilled it on myself several times. It didn't burn me either, but I did wash it off within 10 minutes or...

    What Generation is Jesus referring to?

    This is an excellent question. One that is very difficult to get a clear answer on. You may try praying on it. I did and "received" an answer of: I am with you now. Just come to me and take my hand. Making me think that every generation has the ability to see the coming of the Lord. Yes...

    china to ban sexting

    No sex? No doom and gloom? That's 3/4 of the internet! I think efforts towards a social/cultural change may be more effective than regulations. However, it will be an interesting experiment like the age restrictions in Australia. Maybe it will work or at least help, we'll see.

    How to talk to a particular family member about Jesus

    Since it is near Christmas, you might ask him if he would like to go to a Christmas Eve service. You can suggest it more as a form of entertainment, than "going to church." These services are usually pretty light on any heavy stuff and tend to just be a positive family event.

    When people ask for prayer

    I felt the same as you, now I think it is fine to hit the icon even if you just pray once. The Lord hears our prayers, even if we don't repeat them. Though sometimes if the person continues to explain the situation; I will pray again for their new circumstances. If the requester post the...

    Back in May, were Christians used to spark political violence?

    Maybe things will change with the new mayor of Seattle.
