  • 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

    My very MIXED feelings about abortion

    My mistake. Based on your (and another) post, I googled this topic, and you're right. South Dakota has passed a law banning all abortions unless the mother's life is at risk. Somehow I hadn't been aware of this. I thought Roe v Wade prevented states from doing this. For the record, I...

    My very MIXED feelings about abortion

    I assume you're talking about one of the states of the USA? If so, that's not correct. No state is allowed to ban abortions, since the 1973 Roe v Wade Supreme Court case. Some states have tried to regulate abortions (ie banning partial birth abortions) but even those attempts are often...

    top ten signs you might be a fundamentalist

    I have spent decades as a praying person, bringing every concern before God---and I tried to not let the frequent "no's" discourage me. Actually I don't know how I kept believing in prayer as long as I did. Eventually I had to be honest with myself--I was still praying many times a day, and...

    top ten signs you might be a fundamentalist

    <<<<Top Ten Signs You're a Fundamentalist Christian 10 - You vigorously deny the existence of thousands of gods claimed by other religions, but feel outraged when someone denies the existence of yours. 9 - You feel insulted and "dehumanized" when scientists say that people evolved from...

    question about free methodism

    From the Free Methodist Church website (and I believe from the Book of Discipline), I read: "Our people abstain from the use of alcoholic beverages (Mark 12:30-31) because Christ admonishes us to love God with all our being and our neighbor as ourselves. Alcohol, a legalized drug, is damaging...

    Velvet Elvis

    progressive gal, i'm so glad you liked it. i started the thread about that book 2 or 3 months ago, and found that few people had even heard of it. it was very helpful to me as someone who has been moving out of a fundamentalist background. kayanne

    hell

    What do you (and others who have posted their opinions in this thread) base your opinion on? How do you deal with Bible passages that talk about hell? I guess I was hoping for more discussion of Biblical teaching, possible mistranslation, early church teachings, etc.

    hell

    I've been reading lots of info lately about the word hell, and that some theologians think the word has been wrongly translated/wrongly defined, etc. such as on this website: http://www.what-the-hell-is-hell.com/ I am intrigued by some of the claims the writer of this (and other) websites...

    The Colbert Report

    hmmm...am i the only one who found his sarcastic, disrespectful use of the nicene creed offensive? i'm more open-minded than i used to be, but he went too far, imo.

    can someone help me understand this

    How 'bout if anyone who is interested in this change, add your 2 cents to my post in the "Questions for CF" forum. It's called "request from WWMC/liberal" or something like that. Power in numbers and all that, ya know! (oh, and thanks to the two of you who already showed your support by...

    can someone help me understand this

    I followed your suggestion, and asked if they would consider allowing UR discussion here in WWMC. So far I haven't received any response to my post though.

    can someone help me understand this

    OH, maybe I've been doubly confoooooosed. :D I thought all of the open forums were open to atheists, agnostics, other faiths, etc. But your comment above caused me to read through the board rules again, and apparently only Christians can post in Open Forums: Unorthodox Theology. Is that...
