  • 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.

    My Mother's dream of an earthquake. Thoughts needed.

    Is it possible that there is literal interpretation to this? I have been studying the Cascadia Subduction Zone. There is a new book out very recently called "Cascadia's Fault" that chronicles the study of the whole fault line, from 1950 to 2011. It is fascinating to read. Here is a link...

    Support for Christians who do not celebrate Major Holidays

    Hi, After many years of careful prayer and consideration, I decided not to celebrate Christmas. In short, I do not believe that "Jesus is the reason for the season", and don't see any Biblical support for the holiday on Dec. 25th. This has created a major rift between me and my fellow...

    Physical Therapy

    Yeah, I am in physical therapy to relieve hip, back and pelvis pain. The first therapist I went to was just horrible. I left with a bad impression of all PT's and also hurt worse when I left than when I arrived. However, my pain doctor was very insistent that I go see a special PT that she...

    So how difficult is it.....

    My husband and I are also interested in going to Canada. We know about the websites, classes, and forms, but still think it may be a good idea to get an immigration attorney. Any recommendations? Where we are at, there is a phone number to the State Bar that helps citizens choose an attorney...

    Newbie here, waaay past ready to give up

    Oh, and I forgot to mention, I was born in Colorado! If you find that you may want to come up here to see MJ, let me know. We have a guest bedroom, and I would be happy to host you, if the timing is good. Or, I have several friends here, and may be able to find someone to host you, so you...

    Newbie here, waaay past ready to give up

    Hi Lori, I also am in your boat. Can't say I understand, cause like me, I am sure noone really knows what the heck is going on in each of our bodies, so how do I know how your feeling :) ? But circlular logic aside, I have had chronic pain that is debilitating too, with extreme pain in the...

    Undecided

    I'm a good mentor, but not really a "teacher" . And I cuss, which hasn't made me "Sunday School" fodder. ;) But your saying the same thing as DH: maybe I could make it my job to work with kids or something? I thought about it, but jobs aimed at kids don't pay well, unless your a pediatrition...

    Undecided

    "Firstly, Nobody here is going to slam you for divorcing and remarrying, so the don't judge me was unnecessary." Perhaps on this forum. However I have been on other places on ChrForums where I have been unfairly questioned. But that is great if there is no need to worry here. "Secondly...

    Hi folks, I was divorced, and am now with a new partner. I know this is not the ethics part of the site, etc. but just for the record, everything I have going on in my life is exhaustively Biblical, so please - spare me the legal ramblings about my change in relationship. Thanks. Anyhow...

    a new christian with some questions...

    Funny you should mention messy family... Yes, I too am a Christian amongst non-Christians, and yes, I get that kind of *selective approval* too. My parents especially were very unhappy when I said I wanted to join a church, cause they left a legalistic church in their youth due to abuse...

    How are you feeling right now?

    I'm feeling manic. I mean, I discovered I have been in physical pain so long I did not know I was in pain - until the dr. told me I was in extreme pain. Then they discovered the cause of my pain - that all my guts were glued together in scar tissue and twisted up - so two surgeries later, I am...
