  • 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

    Please bear with my inexperience with this forum format... >the bible is about as historical as the book of mormon Not sure what you mean here: both those books purport to be historical records. The issue is whether they can support/justify the claim. The Bible has clearly been able to do...

    Question for Christians

    Oh, my goodness: this just won't do. You're not allowed to actually apply logic and reason in these discussions ... it ruins the fun for others. ;) On the fallacious argument being made originally, try the websites for The Christian Thinktank or Tekton Apologetics (they tell me I haven't...

    Biblical Literalism; Ethical or not, with Poll

    I'm afraid I'd have to say "none of the above". The Bible is history, from a particular religious perspective. It is a reliable and accurate record of God acting in history, reported by many different writers in several different literary styles, which must be taken into account to properly...
