  • 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.

    Can't accept Christianity

    Some people find Him and sometimes He finds you. Reading your post made me think of a claim made by CS Lewis: I personally believe that if you pursue faith you will find it, I do not think it is something that is as easy as flipping a light switch. Give it time and and it will grow in you

    Im not sure if I want to live anymore.

    The actions of your past have brought you to a place you dont want to be, but with repentance you can change your life. Your actions were not the best, but we are all young at one point and we all make mistakes. The Lord allows us to change though, one who lives in sinful ways has the...

    This reminded me of a parable, it may seem like a long read but it is well worth it! "The Parable of the Prodigal Son – The Text Jesus continued: "There was a man who had two sons. The younger one said to his father, 'Father, give me my share of the estate.' So he divided his property between...

    Life is full of tribulation. Im sorry about your friend. There are times where we may think things are so low that The Lord is not around, but He is the one who gets us through these situations. Making it out of a tough situation can be a way of us seeing how The Lord truly shines, remember to...
