  • 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.

    Too religious?

    I met a girl who was a missionary recently. You'd think missionary = pure at heart. I got her number. I texted her. And guess what? All she was interested in was my finances. More interested in them than who I am as a person. Asking very specific financial questions. And we're talking the 3rd...

    Need help interpreting "guyspeak"

    Met online only? It means he's interested in you and is trying to get with you. Offline, it means he likes you and is as memorized looking at you as a caveman was looking at a fire he made.

    Marriage decline blamed on lack of 'economically attractive' men

    There's a general lack of trustworthy people who are awesome enough to commit to living with for the rest of your life. Either male or female. I also think collectively, we've forgotten what marriage is, in the age of Instagram especially. It's not a picnic. Marriage really is a challenged...

    Why do some Christians think prayers provide God with new information?

    I don't think the scriptures say if you get 100 people to pray God will listen more than 1 person. Because Jesus says you may ask God of anything. So praying just for God's will seems like a cop out to me. It is a mystery. Kind of reminds me when Jesus said to God why have you abandoned me on...

    Why do some Christians think prayers provide God with new information?

    Jesus said prayer can move mountains. Mark 11:22,23 Jesus never suggests (to my knowledge) that prayer changes God. Only the natural world. I suppose it's a mystery how it all might work. But often, Christians seem to think that prayer is a communication with God that will somehow "change"...

    Best ways to invest tens of millions of dollars?

    That amount of money should be reinvested into the community. Tea houses, affordable good restaurants, coffee shops, grocery stores, gyms, ??? etc. If invested in stocks or bonds or existing real estate, it might earn a higher return but you will not be building or adding to the community.

    Moral Question: If I were to start a dating app for a business venture

    It's tough to know how one would react in these situations. Honestly, that would be multiple millions in lost revenues. I think of myself as the guy that won't sellout for nothing, but you get a million dollar offer, a ten million dollar offer, a hundred million dollar offer... You never really...

    Moral Question: If I were to start a dating app for a business venture

    I was not aware of that ruling. I guess I'm stuck though. App will have to match gay daters, or will be a lawsuit waiting to happen. And what about non male/female identifying daters? I have no clue what to do about them. I'm a "male" or "female" looking for a "male" or "female". Hopefully...
