  • 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

    Has Aspergers anything to do with devils??

    JayRayTee, you're making some good points, but I don't think one can (by definition) rule out demonic influence "because there is a genetic factor". The genetic component is a factor science can tell us about (and that's valuable) - but I wouldn't say it's "guarenteed" the only factor. (Say...

    Low self-esteem

    Just wanted to add LovedSparrow made some very good point, to use Gods word. It can help so much to try and think of Gods love for you. Another practical point is to try and just ask God to help you. And don't let you reason it away if indeed a call for help is met (it rarely is a loud voice...

    Low self-esteem

    Hello GlobalWolf2010, I recognize quite some things you describe. First of all, the feeling of 'being a burden asking', while this is pressing so much on you that you ask anyway... I have done that many times in past. You are not a burden if you ask about something troubling you. Do you have...

    Do you struggle with this too? Help please

    You know, about your speaking in tongues: it's great you got a different words/sentences, don't stress about it if it's different - or if it's the same now and then. After all this isn't speaking from your mind but really led by God (by the Holy Spirit). Just allow it to go as it goes, it can't...

    Anyone here have difficulty with crying?

    It's very unusual for me to cry. I remember as a 10 or 11 year old for some reason I told myself I must not ever cry; I can't remember why but I'm pretty sure nobody actually said anything like that.

    How long to wait before marriage?

    I'm "dating"/courting/in a relationship for almost 9 months. Though we've known each others for a lot longer (as good friends). Though it's a bit different in our case because it's a long-distance relationship. Because of that we don't get to see each other a lot (though we do chat daily). If...

    Do aspies tend to be atheists?

    The problem in Nazi Germany was not so much being 'too rational, logical', but that the core 'belief' was all wrong - that of superiority / inferiority. I think many people really believed this, because a slaughter of innocent human lives should be hard to execute to anyone -- unless you...

    Do aspies tend to be atheists?

    I believe genesis must be taken literally, as Jesus did, as well as the apostles (and because, if one is to 'drop' the first genesis chapters, the question of sin, really becomes an open question)

    Question for people on the spectrum

    :-) Praying it will enable him to understand and accept himself better, and at the same time him not giving in into the trap of not trying things that will end up be blessings for Him! (kinda an area where I have to learn myself I suppose :-P ) All in all, as anyone, but especially as someone...

    Aspergers adults and romantic relationships

    I'm in a relationship. First time ever and hoping this really is the one. :) She doesn't have AS, and she knows about my AS (and my general tendency of being uncertain). We've been friends for a long time until it grew into becoming a relationship. To make things even harder it's a relationship...
