  • 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

    Natural Man - The Pinnacle of Dust or Not All Here?

    If "all" that is experienced came from the so-called Big Bang, and one delves into and understands what that actually means, ontologically, then it would seem that all these experienced divisions are temporal and not ultimate and only real but not really REAL - in which case I think we all might...

    I'm not clear on your point here. But thanks for caring. I guess.

    Natural Man - The Pinnacle of Dust or Not All Here?

    Right. Words are magic. Words are essentially god. If one is a bible-idolater. Why would one choose to worship a book, or rather the words that fill that book? Less trouble than thinking, apparently.

    Why all the Obama haters?

    WRONG. By the end of George Bush, Jr;'s second term a vast majority of Americans, and not just liberals, were sick of him and disgusted by his lies and his outright 1984-type distortion of the facts. Ditto Cheney and all their top underlings. I don't recall utter vicious and utterly...

    Some Political Idolatries of our time

    It HAS been demonstrated by the facts which you are clearly ignorant of and forever will be, apparently. You do not have a sufficient background in science to understand anything much about science. To you science is apparently just a list of facts that will be called into question by you if...

    Why all the Obama haters?

    Some people who self-identify as christians who also self-identify as haters? Really? OK. Your self-image is your self image. Be proud. I guess. As for non-christians, even atheists, who admit that they are haters too? Well, that seems another set of problems. In any case hating is...

    Natural Man - The Pinnacle of Dust or Not All Here?

    Those like Heissonear confuse the metaphorical and the allegorical with the real. To make the breakthrough and get such people to see their error is either impossible or as close to impossible as it gets. After all the wasted time trying to reason people out of a position they did not...

    Some Political Idolatries of our time

    Yes, from fish-like lifeforms to monkey-like lifeforms, including humans, over a billion or so years. This does not occur over a human lifetime so I guess is too much for your mind to grok. So what? Science still marches on, leaving you and yours behind. lol. What do you know of "normal...

    GOP candidates for 2016?

    Sometimes when I am feeling mildly depressed I just let my mind drift back to the 2012 g.o.p. presidential primary campaign. And then I smile, start slowly laughing, and pretty soon I am rolling on the floor in hysterics. After I wipe the tears of hilarity from my face I pick myself up and...

    Reposted for truth. Bush = Worst. President. EVER. The man was a moron.

    How many of you have started believing in God as a result

    Actually it is just a side effect. I originally looked into christian forums seeking entertainment. And so I must say I am fairly well pleased. The exceptions being those posters who can't grok the notion of "failed argument" being accurately applied to them - and the people who...

    Obama administration to announce controversial emissions cap on power plants

    Just an addendum to the above: The Clean Air Act was passed back in 1970 with bipartisan support - back when republicans were republicans - actually rather sensible human beings - and NOT whatever the heck they are today.

    Obama confirms citizens can be denied jury trial, elections near

    Don't need to "try again". I have already won. You want me to pile on? OK. The President (FDR) ordered it. It was done. It was not declared illegal. FDR suffered no consequence for doing it. Case closed on that. If we ever do have a real shooting insurrection or evasion by foreign...
