  • 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

    Do moderate Republicans exist anymore?

    Well, fair enough. I'm not going to presume to tell others what political positions they should hold. For me, I will stay conservative, and for right now, Republican. If the Republican party cant be brought back to traditional values, I will look for a different political home. Perhaps...

    Do moderate Republicans exist anymore?

    The Republican party is returning to where it's traditionally been: conservative fiscal policies, and conservative social policies. The fact that the entire Democratic party has moved sharply toward the left statist/soclist policies only makes it seem as if traditional conservative policies and...

    Chilean Miner Rescue

    This rescue is a wonderful display of God's love, and the perseverance of the human spirit. Thanks be to all those hard working folks who struggled so diligently to get those miners out of the ground, and to God be the glory.:thumbsup:

    I Love The Smell of Liberal Desperation

    Obama still crying about the Supreme Court’s ruling on Citizens United vs FEC "Now that Republicans can use the same tactics Democrats have for years, Obama wants to cry and lie about the Supreme Court’s ruling. Obama has no problems with the Unions (special interests) spending billions to get...

    I Love The Smell of Liberal Desperation

    Democrats' desperation tactics on campaign finance "The fate awaiting Democrats in November is a result of their dismal economic record and their arrogance. One reason voters are deserting President Obama in droves is because of fears of unfettered, invasive government power -- fears that will...

    Who was the worst president in history?

    I never said I was OK with killing, by nation-states or otherwise. There is an enormous difference between our persoanl Christian beliefs and behavior, and our understanding of the historical forces that drive conflicts on national and civiliational levels. Understanding is not the same as...

    Who was the worst president in history?

    I don't make these comments to say that I agree with all the issues, I merely try to understand and explain them. I'm not slaughtering anyone. My personal Christian life is not the same as interactions between sovereign nations or clashes between civilizations. I think you should be a little...

    AME Church

    I like the AME church services, which are generally more physically animated and gospel oriented than our UMC services. In our small town of 20,000 we have two AME churches within a few blocks of our own UMC, and we all know each other and frequently share services. We recently had a revival...

    Who was the worst president in history?

    Micro human dynamics are not the same as macro human dynamics. Anecdotes are irrelevent to the sweeping forces of history. The grievences stem from a bitterness of feeling impotant, and play out on the level of cultures and civilizations, not individual experiences.
