  • 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

    Don't know where to put this

    For me, it works much better to allow images, but block signatures. Try that and see how it works for you.

    Sprinkler or Dunker?

    I'm a Baptist, so I'm a dunker. Mostly for the reasons you stated, Lovebirds. I like that symbolism of being born again.

    Why I took a hiatus...

    Whew - I'm exhausted for you! Great to hear from you again. (And keep up the good work with the Dems, so we may actually be on speaking terms with each other by November!)

    Views on evolution and Creation

    Am I the only one who doesn't have a clue what those categories mean?

    If there was no baptist church...

    I'd probably try Methodist, though I've never been to one.

    Is the upgrade really an improvement?

    Thanks Edie and Mr. Jim. I'm trying not to be so negative. I'll tinker with things a little before completely giving up!

    Is the upgrade really an improvement?

    I don't like it at all. I found this place for discussion (as in TEXT), and all I see now is graphics graphics graphics. What's the point? I remember the message boards of the 90's. No flash, nothing cutesie, nothing but your words. Love, Your cranky old change-hating Baptist

    Does this ever happen to anyone else?

    I guess that's why awful songs become so popular - they are just so dang catchy!

    Speeding

    Sounds like you're making excuses to break the law. ;)

    Baptists are on what side of the line?

    You could probably go to an entireley different denomination each week and find more in common than going to a different Baptist church every week. Good luck finding a home!

    When does "joking about" become "making fun of"?

    Hmmmm... I have a comment on your detailed story, but not on your OP. But since you said it's all open for discussion (yay!), here goes. His defense was that you opened up the subject of homosexuality in the first place, which led to his 'joking around'. I have to say I agree with him. If you...

    The Ragamuffin Gospel

    Hey, I picked it up today at Goodwill! It never would have jumped out at me had you not posted this, so thanks, Adammi. I'm looking forward to it.

    Thinking of becoming an Anglican

    I wish I had advice for you. I've been through the same thing, and it's hard to explain how proud you are of your heritage, while no longer being at home in it. It is best for you and your spiritual growth to be at the Anglican church. However you go about that, I wish you the best of luck. It...
