  • 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

    In what context is Exodus 21:20-21 good?

    Okay, so I'm not going to pretend that I've thoroughly studied the book of exodus. But I'm still curious. I'm going to make 2 assumptions here. Please let me know if any of these 2 are wrong. 1: The entire Bible is the word of God, the creator of everything. 2: God is purely good. Question...

    Would you still be a Christian if you were born in another religious community?

    Thank you for your comment. But you didn't really answer my question.

    Would you still be a Christian if you were born in another religious community?

    That is a fascinating story man. I think I might be going through a similar rebirth, for lack of a better word, right now. But you said confirmation bias is n't a factor if you're being rebuilt from the ground up. Is that true, though? You said you went back to your Christian roots. Do you...

    Would you still be a Christian if you were born in another religious community?

    I don't disagree with you on anything you've said, but do you think you'd be a Christian right now if you were raised in another religions community, let's say Islam?

    Would you still be a Christian if you were born in another religious community?

    Hi Carl, Thanks for your answer. Of course I know that cross-converting and deconverting happens regularly. Examples being Muslim-christian, Christian-muslim, atheist-theist, theist-atheist, etc. But the point remains (if we can agree on that) that the vast majority of people doesn't radically...

    Would you still be a Christian if you were born in another religious community?

    Hello, thanks for answering. I'm not sure if I understand your answer, to be honest, but I will say that your assumption of my premise isn't true. In my question I don't assume that all religions have a similar foundation. Some of them may wildly differ from others (which I certainty believe)...

    Would you still be a Christian if you were born in another religious community?

    I guess I'm going to have to change that mark then. Thanks.

    Would you still be a Christian if you were born in another religious community?

    Hello people, This starts with a question. Before I start, this question is in no way meant as degrading to your religious conviction. Respect to all. I have no facts to back this up, but I think most of you will agree that the community you were born into shapes the majority of the paradigm...

    Do you think that the story of Adam and Eve literally happened?

    Because no talking snakes and magic fruits have ever been observed by science as far as I'm aware.

    Just curious. I really don't.

    Do you think you would go to heaven if you died now?

    If your body stops functioning, I meant.

    Do you think you would go to heaven if you died now?

    Do you think you would go to heaven if you died right now? And if so/no, why?

    Is Christianity right?

    Don't you think that other religious/spiritual people have this in other religions?

    Is Christianity right?

    Excactly this. I think so as well. I really feel as if many people try to convince themselves out of fear of being wrong.
