  • 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.

    Intermittent Fasting

Always feel really great for a few days afterwards. Important to be careful, though, and talk to your doctor if you have...

    need help with weight loss

    Keith is right of course. Even the most efficient program in the world can't work if you aren't motivated to actually DO it. So start with things that are fun for you. Like the outdoors? Then get walking! Prefer video games? Get a wii and at least get off the couch. Looks like you just need...

    Clean Eating

    Intriguing idea. Though I think most of us would be well served by simply eating cleanER, without worrying about going to extremes to avoid anything that isn't straight of of the ground. All efforts at improving health need to balance perfection against what is realistically achievable. While...

    Unable to lose weight. Please help

    Prayers on the way. What does your doctor say about your efforts? And I'm curious about how much you eat and exercise. I believe that the key to losing weight is to do a TON of cardio. You've got to burn more calories than you take in. The bigger the gap between the two, the faster you'll...
