  • 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.

    My two new goats

    Nadine! What a great goat name! They sure are cute. I wish we lived somewhere where we could have goats and chickens (etc). They're great to have because they're a seemingly endless source of food and vitamins. Alas, we live in the big city. Cute goats though!

    1,000 Ways to Die

    The show is funny for about 5 minutes before it gets repetitive and old. And the puns are cringe worthy for sure. But I find myself putting it on from time to time if there isn't anything that's actually worth watching on tv and I need some background noise. As for not good for Christians to...

    Sorry to intrude... just a quick question!

    That makes sense. I appreciate the insight. I often find myself at odds with many American Protestant Christians. The fact that European and American Christianity often differ is a good idea as to why.

    Pat Robertson believes Peyton Manning should get hurt this year

    :amen: Pat Robertson can talk about whatever he wants. That isn't going to stop me from calling him out on stupid comments.

    Russell Crowe Reported to Set Sail as ‘Noah’

    I am aware of these films. I was just wondering what exactly defines a"secular" film about a story that is obviously religious. How do you secularize a story from the Bible without losing it's integrity? Sorry I wasn't more specific.

    Sorry to intrude... just a quick question!

    2nd Gen. German living in US here. This is 100% true, for my family at least. My parents and grandparents were raised in Germany as Presbyterians and are considered very liberal here in America. They taught me to consider the bible as a jumping off point and to look to the parables of Jesus as...
