  • 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.

    why didn't Noah swat those 2 mosquitos?!

    Besides food for oxpeckers (which is all the way in Africa), I can't think of a single use for them. They're far more detrimental than beneficial.

    why didn't Noah swat those 2 mosquitos?!

    The one thing that really doesn't have a purpose is ticks. They aren't a food source, and all they do is transmit disease (some really serious ones) and suck blood. Removing one is a pain in the butt too! After searching for wild beehives I found one on my ankle and back. The one on my back I...

    Masturbation

    If any of you are struggling with this, here's some helpful (I hope) advice: Write a prayer to God promising that you will not do it and to protect you from evil thoughts. Add whatever else is necessary for you. Finish with your name, and keep the note. Everytime you get the urge, think of...

    What is the right thing to do?

    I didn't mean for it to be interpreted that way at all. I definitely view men and women as equals. What I was implying is that men are naturally more aggressive than women and are more prone to physically fighting. I agree with everything you've said, but I'm not sure you quite got what I was...

    What is the right thing to do?

    Depending on the situation, I would defend myself or others who are being harmed. If it's just throwing, then get a teacher. I know it sounds like the wimpy way, but it's smart. Another way is to try and embarrass him, for instance: "Dude, why are you throwing stuff at me? Stop acting like a...

    can you grow veggies in a pot?

    Go for it! I've heard that they're perfect for pots and produce a lot. Unfortunately for me, mine aren't liking the Texas heat, even in the shade in the middle of the day. Everyone else's (not around where I live) seem to do well except for mine haha!

    is listing to rock and rap a sin?

    [/rant] Death metal is not the "in" thing, it's hardly "widely" accepted. It's not Slipknot, it's not Korn (nu-metal). Sorry, but this got on my nerves. Don't denounce a sub-genre when you don't know much about it. Yes, there are evil people preaching their message in it, but there are also...

    berries...

    That's awesome! There are a lot of fields (sadly, being torn down for houses) around my neighborhood that have a ton of blackberries! My bro and I have secret spots where the general public doesn't know about, and the best ones grow there. I wish they are in season more, they only seem to last a...

    Secular music bad?

    "Young people, enjoy your youth. Be happy while you are still young. Do what you want to do and follow your heart's desire. But remember God is going to judge you for whatever you do" (Ecclesiastes 11:9). "Wisdom can make your life pleasant and lead you safely through it. Those who become wise...

    where is the best sun set you ever seen?

    My favorite sunsets are right outside my house. There's at least one really good one a week. We moved to a more open area and not too dense of a neighborhood, so I can now witness the entire thing. :D

    Secular music bad?

    Secular music is not bad. Some people just have it so hammered into their heads that anything that doesn't involve God is bad (which is, in my opinion, wrong). If music can influence your faith and relationship with Christ, you need to strengthen that relationship. God wants us to enjoy life...

    Christian Death Metal. Oxymoron, or not?

    I know. :) Black and death are classified as this moreso than the others though (for obvious reasons).

    Christian Death Metal. Oxymoron, or not?

    It's not really an oxymoron. The term "death" metal (imo) refers to how harsh the music is, not on a lyrical base. It's often called extreme metal. A good handful of the best musicians in the world are in death metal bands, no joke. And yes, I do like DM a lot. I'm Christian, and I'm just...

    Fire Ants, Help

    Amdro works every time. It's food pellets with cyanide (pretty sure) in them. The ants bring it in pretty quickly (no need to stir the ant nest up, they can smell it, if you mess the nest up they will move to another spot in your yard). They feed it to the queen, the queen dies, if the queen...

    Strangest animal you've ever seen

    They're not too strange (well, the turtle is haha). My grandma let her dog out one night, and we heard barking so we looked out the window and saw in her barnlight her dog chasing a bobcat. What a sight! A few minutes later the dog was begging to be let in. No injuries though! I had a close...
