  • 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.

    trying to understand this behaviour - is this normal???

    Well yes I understand what you're saying and well I have some news. Me and this girl in question decided to finally cut contact after just over a year of having known each other and officially being together about 10 months. Although it was mutual, she actually made the decision because we had...

    trying to understand this behaviour - is this normal???

    I've noticed in relationships I have this habit and I'm wondering whether it is common amongst other people. So basically, I've noticed that when a girl is really into me and wants to work things out, I tend to back off and become a bit distant...then suddenly when she backs off and becomes...

    Going to be thirty tomorrow!

    sounds like you're feeling more positive about it than I am! It is a milestone age but then again it is just a number I'm being told as well so it's important to keep things in perspective. That said however I'm panicking still, as I honestly thought I would have accomplished alot by now and...

    I wish I didn't have to wake up tomorrow

    I'm still in the same place I've always been, apart from now, I'm getting closer to 30. I'm doing very little with my life, I feel I've amounted to nothing. I've still got no clue what I want to do or what kind of work I'd like to do etc. I went to a great school, went to university...

    Overprotective parents and its harmful effects

    That is very sad story and have to say very unusual for a mother not to want her son to get married. Most mothers desperately want to see their children get married. But I guess the whole point here is about control and the mother still wanted to have her son around, she needed someone to...

    Being a virgin at 28

    I totally understand what you mean here. And it is something I have thought alot about too. Cos I always thought if I'm single but don't want to be i.e. desire to be married...then God will provide, right? Because he PROMISES to provide and meet all our needs. Yet clearly this hasn't quite...

    I cannot thank you enough for writing this! My instant reaction after I read this was like FINALLY SOMEONE WHO TRULY UNDERSTANDS. You are spot on with everything you have said. Why is that SO MANY Christians cannot understand what you've written above? Why are there so many who LACK empathy...

    single and lonely at 28

    Yeah, you know what I think at the end of the day, we are discussing very sensitive issues here and so anything can be misconstrued and misunderstood over cyberspace. I agree that it is possible to follow God and be celibate for a lifetime, but I must add that this surely is only for a very...
