  • 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.

    OCD and Television

    I've definitely been where you are. It may be a good idea to get in contact with a medical professional. Medication has done wonders for me. Also with that it might be a good idea to get involved with a church and see if you can find someone to talk to about your theology questions. (like a...

    Please Please can someone help :(

    As someone with OCD and struggled with it when it comes to religion, my advice is only what worked for me. Talk to a doctor or counselor. Medication made such a difference in my life.

    Do your religious beliefs effect HOW you play games?

    Sometimes it does, mostly it does not.

    My Gaming getting a bit out of control

    I commend you for being so honest with your self, that sometimes is difficult for me to do when I am realizing something I love to do (like a video game) may not be the best thing for me to do. Best of luck here.

    Those that have met with a doctor about OCD?

    I've never been diagnosed with OCD or anything like that. But by the sounds of the threads on here, i'd say i'm pretty much in the same boat as most of the posters around here as most fears here i've been through. I have some questions to those who have talked to a medical professional about...

    OCD it can be a blessing

    I have sometimes asked "Why does God allow me to obsess like this?" and it can even be frustrating. For me obsessing has allowed me to empathize with others who obsess. So perhaps God may be able to use me to help another who goes through this and they can help me as well.

    Family don't understand how bad this is :'(

    I doubt your family thinks you're a waste of space or anything like that. They likely deeply care about you but maybe have little knowledge of what you are going through, it can be tough to relate to someone who you have trouble understanding. For me its hard to find someone to relate to. The...
