  • 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

    Anyone using film?

    And film smells much better than memory cards! :-) I've been shooting and scanning so far, but next week I'm starting a course in dark room technique! I'm really looking forward to doing some "real" printing.

    "Something Positive" [for Unequally Yokeds]

    My wife is the best! Our marriage is great and we have a lovely son, soon 10 months old. It's been a while since we talked about spiritual issues, it usually don't end that well... But I keep praying!

    Anyone using film?

    Hi everyone! I haven't been here for what feels like ages, but I'm trying to hang around more and noticed that there was a photography forum! I've always loved it but started getting more serious early 2009 when I got myself a DSLR. Shot a ton of pictures and learned a lot, but I missed...

    Why?

    I don't think that God has a gender, but that doesn't mean I call Him "it". God is a person (or perhaps some sort of metaperson), but certainly not a thing. Therefore, He is more appropriate than it. I can second the advice to read "A Case for Christ" - great book. Keep searching and God...

    Head scratchers about God.

    Well, this one's easy. It's like asking "Can God create a square circle?". There are no square circles, and they can't exist. Since God is almighty (it's part of the definition, really), He will be able to lift any rock that He creates, which makes the question logically impossible. Sort...

    Any Jamie Cullum fans out there?

    I really like his music, I think that he has a great way of approaching music in general. And he's got great "feeling"! (I have only seen him on video, but I'd love to see him live)

    What are you listening to now? V. 1 Billion (7)

    Right now? "Make my life a prayer to you" with Keith Green - wonderful!

    If someone asks me why I follow my faith..

    Just a thought... This doesn't necessarily work... Some people actually feel quite satisfied without the Lord in their lifes. I myself can't understand it, but a lot of people seem satisfied with explaining everything in strict materialistic terms. I find it quite hard to witness to people who...

    Is CF Bad For One's Spiritual Health?

    Amen to that! This is exactly the perspective / point of view I try to keep through life... That I think I know "sort of" what's going on, but I try to ask God for guidance (oh, how insecure I feel about words and spelling when writing english... I can just hope and pray that I manage to...

    Is CF Bad For One's Spiritual Health?

    I don't really like trying to express myself throught short pieces of text in a foreing language... I hope I don't come across as a "crazy fundie", I do consider myself quite liberal, I guess... But I just have to ask... Do you believe in God as an entity? Or just as something in your mind...

    Most beneficial e-Sword modules?

    Sure is... Have you checked out the Sword project? They have links to software for Mac (I use MacSword, it's great), Linux, Windows and other platforms. They also have quite a collection of bible texts, commentaries, and other books available for download. All for free! I don't have enough...

    If someone asks me why I follow my faith..

    You could always give them a thump on their heads with a bible! ;-) *just kidding* I'm not really sure, I think it depends on who's asking. I find it hard to talk about my faith with a lot of people, particularly die-hard atheists who really have decided the Bible is all lies etc etc. But I...
