  • 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.

    the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy

    I read an interview by the author where he said he came up with the idea for the series after getting trashed and laying in a field. I can believe that, lol. I think the first 3 are pure genius; the last books not so much. God, I love Beeblebrox so much it hurts. And Marvin the Paranoid...

    Rick Warren The Purpose Driven Life

    I'm not a Christian, but I can still tell you that the book is bad theology. Don't waste effort on it.

    Homosexuality, your opinion?

    I honestly don't care whether homosexuality is genetic, environmental, or chosen. I think many people like to claim that gayness is a chosen activity because somehow that makes it okay to condemn them as "going against God's will" and being "unnatural" (which is a silly argument anyway). If...

    What's with all these prayers???

    Well, I suppose that noone can really know what was going on in his head. Perhaps he was mentally ill; maybe he was severely depressed or cut off from reality. If there was something physically wrong with his brain, I can sort of see having some compassion for him... It just depends on the...

    Why Are Americans Afraid Of Being Naked?

    I would be pleased if nudity was not sexualized as it is now. I find nudity to be very comfortable; in the summer I just don't wear clothing at home. I don't mind being nude among friends. Unfortunately, as it has been pointed out, nudity and sexuality are linked. Because of this, I would be...

    selfishness as virtue

    I think selfishness is fine as long as you aren't actively destroying another person's rights i.e. intentionally harming them physically or financially. Emotionally, I'm not sure where the line on selfishness lies - you can't control another person's feelings, and I'm not sure where the moral...

    Summer 2007 Movies - WOW!

    I MUST SEE HARRY POTTER!!! Sorry, it's just that the book and the movie are coming out this summer and...and...I'm salivating as I await their arrival. Yeeeeeesss. I would also like to see PotC III and perhaps Spidey. I don't know most of those others... I will definitely PASS on Hostel...

    oh, just because you can't watch some movies without feeling sullied and unusual doesn't mean others have to feel the same way.

    Is it possible to make any absolute statement about God?

    Is it posible to make any absolute statement about God?? Absolutely not!

    I did not care for it. Why? One word - man-kinis. You know what I'm talking about! The whole things was a gay man's fantasy. All I could think of while watching that movie was "why don't these people wear some armor?" and "wow, I didn't know all Spartan men used Nair." Plus there was all the...

    Spreading my meme. yah!

    ah, hmmm. okay. Newbie here. I am basically an atheist, but the pantheist symbol is prettier than the little man-head without a brain (that's how the CF symbol looks to me). also, people are nicer to me when I claim pantheism, because they have no idea what it means! hurrah! So, I'll play in the...

    Yes. Porn as well. I've watched it a few times and find it to be hilarious. It isn't what you watch; it is why you do it. People can watch violent movies without feeling violent towards others. People can watch porn without feeling aroused.

    Proposal For Intellectual Diversity Follows ADF Victory!

    Yes, it is wrong for professors to punish students for their religious beliefs. This girl can think whatever she pleases, and should not be punished accademically for that. But it cuts both ways. It isn't just "liberals" who push their views in class. I was treated to half an hour of...

    Challenging/Thought-provoking books

    I'd recommend Gene Wolfe for you. He writes fantasy, but it is very complex. I believe he has also stated some of his works have Christian subtext and meaning in it, if you're into that kind of thing.

    Dose any not like......

    You "like" the original trilogy? That's it, just "like?" Blasphemy, you blasphemer! I love the original trilogy. But I agree about the prequals; they were awful, filled with plotholes and unwatchable actors. Everything about them made me want to bow to the porcelain god. May George Lucas be...
