  • 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

    Say Hi, Gracie (Newbies say hello thread)

    @ Side Hug - You sound a little like me! I try not to bite my tongue though... I think discussing different viewpoints under the umbrella of Christianity is very healthy for everyone involved.

    Say Hi, Gracie (Newbies say hello thread)

    Hello! I just had a glance at the liberal threads and it seems like a nice place to hang around. I joined in April and I just enjoy sharing ideas, debating, etc., especially with people who think similarly.

    What is your favorite news source and political leaning?

    I've never heard of TULC. What does it stand for?

    Hmm... What is it you believe, exactly? Atheism is a belief, and I thought you were an atheist.

    I'm a moderate Christian with a growing interest in politics. Any suggestions?

    Any input from fellow brothers and sisters? Constructive criticism for my arguments? Responses to dmwalker24 or ericf?

    Alright! Sorry for the delay. Sometimes (frequently) I procrastinate. Excellent point. It’s smart to be skeptical. I would not say, however, that every Christian is a Christian because of where and when they happened to be born. There are some who accept the arguments for Christianity...

    Indeed, we are fortunate to have modern medicine and the ongoing research to advance it! I'm afraid though that you're seeing science and prayer as somewhat incompatible, or at least one useful and the other useless. The thing about prayer is that it's not about getting what we want, but what...

    dmwalker24 - I highly recommend C.S. Lewis's Mere Christianity! Here's what he says in Chapter 11, titled "Faith", on pages 138-141: "But what does puzzle people--at least it used to puzzle me--is the fact that Christians regard faith in this sense as a virtue. I used to ask how on earth it can...

    What do you mean by this? Did you become an Atheist after first believing in a deity other than that of Christianity (and Judaism and Islam)?

    Question.

    Wow, it's encouraging to see this kind of response from a male. I've definitely experienced that feeling you speak of. I don't know about the Proverbs 31 woman... In the passage, a comparison is being made yet again between a "good" woman and a "bad" woman. The Proverbs woman comes off to me as...

    You can certainly pm me and we can have a debate via AIM, if you have a username! Otherwise, you might read some books I've found helpful.

    Cool! Welcome back! I only recently joined myself, and it took a while to get into the workings of this site but it can be interesting once you find the threads that are authored by like-minded people. Granted, Christians overall are supposed to be like-minded, but my emphasis is on intellectual...
