  • 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

    Sugar: When is enough ?

    Yes but, most people do not realize the hazards of starch. Just one slice of bread is equal to the same can of pop as far as "sugar" is concerned. Starches are just chains of sugar molecules. So, a peanut butter sandwich is equal to 2 cans of pop and so on. If you are going to worry about...

    The Track Record of "God Told Me To Run" Candidates, Reprise Edition

    God told me to run for office (congress not presidency) . So I guess it is not unusual. he told me to run but he never said I'd win. Maybe God did tell them to run, it does not mean he told them that they would win.

    Dude, Where's My Nutrients?

    Cooking is good. It breaks down the cell walls to release the nutrients. It also kills the bad bugs that are lurking in the plant, such as worms or bacteria. So go ahead and cook your plants. Also add butter. Butter dissolves the vitamins and makes them bioavailable.

    Scientists complete first successful gene therapy against human ageing

    misguided and doomed to failure. telomeres do not determine lifespan of the individual . they determine lifespan of the individual cells which need to be replaced periodically and are programmed to die off . a stomach cell only lives a few days where as skin cells live a few weeks . overall...

    Are Christians competent to interpret the Bible without any ordained help?

    the bible is very blunt and not complex at all. where people get in trouble is when they want the bible to say something or not to say something because it is convenient to them. many people just do not like what the bible says and so they will try to force an interpretation to fit there...

    Polygamy is okay?

    Who said anything about reducing to one wife? 1 John 3 4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. If the law allowed it then it cannot be a sin. God does not allow sin even if its because of the hardness of our hearts.
