  • 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.

    Was it abuse?

    puregrl - Thank you for sharing. It know it's silly to think your the only one, but I really did. I didn't even know there was a such thing as spousal rape. I think maybe I should seek some help ( preferably from a consoler or psychiatrist that believes in God) visinary - I hear what your...

    Was it abuse?

    I was married for 5 years. Through out this marriage I was never a very sexual person. After a point in the marriage it became very difficult for me to enjoy sex. When I brought this up to my husband he said it was my Christian duty and his right as my husband no matter how I felt. I voiced my...

    Are Confederate flags unpatriotic?

    As an African American I have always felt threatened by seeing that flag on cars, homes, and businesses ( and I live in New York State!) . I understand being proud of your heritage but when that heritage involves unwarranted violence, prejudice, and intimidation then it's wrong. My parents...

    Is Using a Fleshlight a Sin? Can Christains Use Sex Toys?

    Wow my ex husband use to have that issue and we were married. I was ok with it at first but when it became his "dirty little secret" I became really bothered by it. Once we separated and divorced he admitted he knew it was a sin but couldn't help himself. I have to say I have never felt the...

    Dealing with Divorce by Faith

    It would be interesting, to say the least. When I asked my ex to leave he recommended marriage consoling via the church. I was so over with the idea of receiving help by the church but I wanted to try this out feeling that if God really wanted things to work they would work. It was a great...

    Intersex

    I think they ( hermaphrodites ) need our love and support. They were born physically different and have to cope with the result of that ( which cannot be easy ). They can life as they are or have a sex change and choose a side. Both seem very painful physically and emotionally. God does not make...
