  • 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.

    Struggling with Homosexuality

    wouldn't it be better if the attractions weren't there to begin with? I have had homosexual desires in middle school. I assumed that because I wasn't getting along with girls, that that was the reason for this problem. I realized that it was all false.

    do you listen to adele?

    do you guys ever listen to adele? Man, her songs can be very overwhelming. her songs remind me of when i lost a friend or something in my own life, due to failure to maintain that friendship. sometimes when i pray, bad thoughts would come in and usually it's the music that i've listened to...

    problems...lonliness...

    loneliness can find us every now and then. i hope that you make friends though. I haven't had a single trustworthy friend in my life. Well I have but they don't seem to be available on the weekends to hang out with. I try to be understanding but coming from a prior history with no friends, i...

    I have had bad experiences with others in the past and I would appreciate it if you pray for me to forgive everyone and help me move on with no desire to retaliate.

    exposing all my thoughts

    i think that's what missionaries try to do or something. they tell you one side of the story without telling you the other. don't omit, for crying out loud. tell them the whole truth at first and if they want to follow Jesus, then they can genuinely repent or do his will. unfortunately they have...

    justice

    people in the world just don't forgive. besides, it's not like i live in the bible belt regions. even in those regions, it's like it's any different than any other state. they shouldn't even call america a christian nation since people don't even act like it. all of us at times feel like we need...

    when will i get it?

    that's what i try to do. i try to be the good person but i realize that the more i try the more i sin and that's usually true. why not just let nature take its course instead? not pray, not doing anything, don't try at all. that's how it should be i think. you are right about my trying to...

    when will i get it?

    but the thing is i care too much about myself and where i stand with God. too much i's and very few he's. i try to have a relationship with God. i at times just wish i can force it. i feel like if we got rid of heaven and hell from the equation, then i can serve God better. no heaven, no hell...

    exposing everything in heart

    at the age of 14, i began to turn to catholicism secretly. that is i prayed the rosary but then i kept repenting and repeating this cycle. i dont know. i am utterly confused. sometimes i'll pray the rosary for the sake of temptations and then at other times if that fails i'll turn back to...

    exposing everything in heart

    Yeah well thanks for calling me out on that one. meanwhile, i have turned to several faiths for help but not for long. yes i have that tendency to just not want to do something for others once all is well. it kind of just reminds me of how when the old testament followers thought they could...
