  • 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

    @Faithfulandtrue - is that something you would be interested in?

    Feeling misunderstood with some at church

    I think you mean well and have sound advice, but, that you are missing a crucial initial step. I'm not sure how quite to put it in words, but there's element of empathizing and establishing trust. If someone is opening up, reciprocate, show them you're human, that your advice comes from...

    Democracy is the worst form of government...

    You make that claim with certainty, which means you should have robust examples to reference, care to share?

    Feeling misunderstood with some at church

    There's a time to laugh and a time to cry right? I don't recall there being a time to tell someone else to suck it up. Of course you count your blessings and give thanks, but imagine the wound is physical rather than mental? 'How are you feeling?' 'Well my leg just got cut off, it's bleeding...

    The Ideal Date

    I think I'm in love lol Another great date idea would be to go to the dump. Nothing is more fun or better for bonding than the shared experience of finding treasure. Also what can reveal more about a person than putting a bunch of junk in front of them and giving them free reign? What do they...

    Democracy is the worst form of government...

    1) Nitpicking semantics is not constructive when the idea is obvious, replace idiot with incompetent if it will make you feel better. 2) So what? 3) They will probably choose an idiot, better is better than not better, even if it isn't perfect. I'd intend this 'tenthing' to be focused on...

    Feeling misunderstood with some at church

    Some people haven't had difficulties in their life that would equip them to fully empathize with people who are dealing with such difficulties. I think it's best just to give people the benefit of the doubt by chocking it up to something like that.

    Democracy is the worst form of government...

    The average voter is an idiot, therefore the candidates must try to appeal to idiots by doing idiotic things. I expect that anyone that is trusted by 10 people they know would be much more intelligent/wise than the average voter. Democracy is 'government of the people, by the people', ergo...

    Democracy is the worst form of government...

    I'm aware you didn't mean me personally. Your question is irrelevant though. I am proposing that the current laws that de facto restrict certain political discussion be removed, and if employers so choose, they can replace them with company policy.

    What am I supposed to DO at church?

    That's kind of how I was hoping the conversation would have proceeded. Maybe I should talk to the pastor about that (again).

    What am I supposed to DO at church?

    Actually the back and forth so far has been roughly... Me: Hey I want to help with something, I have free time, what do you all do, what can I help with? Guy #1: Well Guy #2 that's here a lot during the time you're free, I'll give you his number. Me to guy #2: Hey I want to help with something...

    It sounds like you are quite concerned about my occupational success, I am thankful but don't want to burden you, let me worry about it.

    Democracy is the worst form of government...

    You could say the same about representative democracy in general? 100 senators / 330 million people = 99.9999% reduction? Assuming 10 people electing their personal representative resulted in a pool of individuals more intelligent & wise than the populous at large, that should lead to better...

    What am I supposed to DO at church?

    Hi there, I guess you could say I'm a new Christian, I'm definitely new to church, and am having trouble figuring out what exactly church is supposed to be about and what I'm supposed to actually do there. To put it bluntly, what's the point? Coming into it my expectation was... 1) Hear a sermon...
