  • 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.

    My friend is intensely deceived

    Hi Here is my 2 cents, it sounds as though your friend has similar beliefs to me before I became Christian, furthermore your clash together sounds very similar to the clashes I had with a lot of my friends about God and the Bible, hopefully it may be of some assistance. Firstly...

    My battle with depression and how God came to me.

    Its long and a bit ragtag, but i hope it can give some a bit of perspective on what depression is like, and how much of an incredible effect God can have if you are open to Him. Wrote this throughout my time coming back to God. So have added and taken bits off over a couple weeks. Have had...
