  • 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.

    I'm Really Sorry

    "I'm Really Sorry I just need to vent about a date I had last night. I feel so down and defeated today. I haven't had a date in over a year. I've been trying to wait for the right guy. But, a guy at the gym who is about 10 years younger than me, and definitely not a Christian, has been...

    someone explain the "bad boy" thing...

    "someone explain the "bad boy" thing" ** It's actually very simple. Remember, we have fallen from grace and one of the consequences of that is the corruption of female sexual attraction. While it is understandable that women would be attracted to things like confidence, strength, etc...

    Do you ever think you'll be single for life?

    You know, threads like this have always made me wonder if things would be much better if our culture was a culture of arranged marriages. If marriages were arranged, then most would be married. Maybe there's a reason arranged marriages ruled the day in biblical times. I don't know. :confused:

    Dating Online

    Whenever you ask "Is this a good way to find love?", you'll hear mostly about bad experiences and those who want to share their bad experience and give warnings. Meeting someone, having a successful pre-marriage relationship and ending up in marriage is totally a product of the condition of...

    Ok, define fornication

    In my view, fornication involves things that run much deeper than the simple Christian explanation of sex between to unmarried people. I think if you look at the information we have about the level of debauchery that existed in biblical times and what it represented about the condition of the...

    Sexual frequency before and after marriage....

    Christian are too quick to connect sexual problems in marriage with having sex before marriage. There are lots of married couples out there with intact marriages that had sex before marriage. Christians wait until marriage because it's believed that that is God's way and they genuinely desire...

    Christian Counselor

    Not that I know of. Mostly word of mouth when I've chosen one. I'd prefer if they are trained and accredited. It really boils down to what issue you're seeking cousel on. With some issues a Christian counselor (without formal training) can be helpful. With other issues you need a Christian...

    I have a rant about churches and singles!!

    Allthough I'm sorry about Avemaria's situation, I've seen that the Catholic church tends to do a pretty good job balancing ministry among the marital status and age groups. EyesOfMystery sounds like she in a church that does a good job with this. 40% of Christians are unmarried. That's a big...
