  • 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.

    Settling for someone you're not attracted to

After a couple of weeks of communicating with each other and indicating our interest in each other, we arranged a day for her to come spend some time with me. I finally thought that God had...

    The 800-Pound Gorilla in the Room (Literally)

    Yes, it does. I am largely (he he) concerned with the health of the offspring. Being significantly overweight increases the chances of problems developing during pregnancy which can hurt the child. Not to mention social ostracism experienced by the obese child. Obese children have been known to...

    Mel Gibson: Sifted like wheat?

    Mel Gibson's sins are between him and God. They are none of our business and they are none of Hollywood's business.

    Lesson about skin color

    Kids are not being taught to show a preference for their own race. Their preference for their own race is inborn, and is a natural, biological tendency which aids their survival.

    Alcohol Thread (Liquor, Wine, and Beer Affictionados Welcome!)

    I have tasted a very wide variety of both beer and wine. It would take hours to list all I've had, so here's a few of my fave beers: J.W. Dundee's Honey Brown (one of the few beers that is just as good at room temperature) Ayinger Celebrator Dopple Bock Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout (not...

    Mel Gibson's rant/ women's sizes.

    I'm not joining in the bashing of Mel Gibson, because I am well aware of who hates him and why. Please keep in mind that Whoopi Goldberg and Mel Gibson are personal friends, and that Whoopi Goldberg says he treats her children extremely well.

    What gives you hope?

    Powerball. I know that's wrong, but I'm being honest. When I buy a ticket, my mood is lifted for a couple of days.

    Is Drinking Alcohol a sin

    We've had beer at a couple of our lunches in the fellowship hall. I haven't visited my pastor at his home yet, but I am 99.9% sure he would offer me a beer if I did.

    Is Drinking Alcohol a sin

    I was raised in Pentecostalism. Drinking alcohol was absolutely considered a sin, and although we used the phrase, "Jesus turned water into wine" we believed that the people in Jesus' day simply referred to grape juice as "wine." So we actually believed that Jesus' first miracle was to turn...
