  • 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

    Pro or anti death penalty?

    Yes it would be tragic for a person unfairly executed. However, that would be a risk we would all have to take equally if capital punishment were reintroduced. We would be weighing up the increased risk of death by being wrongly executed against the possible reduced risk of being murdered. It...

    Pro or anti death penalty?

    Are there circumstances where the taking of another's life is justified? It seems reasonable to allow for acts of self-defence or defence of one's family involving lethal force if needed. Indeed, it might be considered a moral obligation on stronger members of society to defend the weak and...

    Need some assistance to help answer a word from God

    If God really wanted to intervene in this case, maybe he would have prevented her abduction in the first place, rather than send cryptic clues to somebody who can't even get her name right in spite of having internet access.

    Your honest opinion please

    I would first ask what success you had enjoyed in your own business or career and why you felt qualified to advise others. Secondly, I would ask what are your qualifications to give spiritual counsel to others and how you feel uniquely qualified to help them discover their purpose. Finally, I...

    Pupils 'to take allegiance oath'

    It is a nonsensical suggestion. We live in an era of modern transport and higher levels of migration than ever before. This means that nation states are no longer comprised of homogeneous groups of people with common cultural backgrounds. Nearly all western nations have become melting pots...

    Success University

    I searched some more links on this thing. It looks like another MLM scheme. You join, then make money by recruiting others. Everybody gets rich. Unfortunately the plan fails when, inevitably, the supply of suckers runs out. Judging by the number of people with websites trying to recruit, it must...

    Success University

    https://pluginprofitsite.successuniversity.com/successu/pages/program-overview.xhtml Would this be it? It has all the hallmarks of an overpriced marketing ploy. It offers: This kind of claim is obvious rubbish. You won't achieve mastery of anything more important than picking your nose...
