  • 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.

    Homosexuality (Give me your opinion)

    I don't think there's anything wrong with homosexuality. I'm not the kind of person to believe in something just because the bible says to. It takes more than written words to make me see things a certain way. I'm not going to believe homosexuality is wrong simply because it's written in a book...

    Americans

    I think there is such a thing as being too patriotic. We do live in a great country, and there are many things to love about it. But I think that people get too caught up in thanking our country itself that we forget that without God, we wouldn't even have this country. America was founded by...

    Am I really a Christian?

    I don't agree with this at all. If I go around doing things for the common good of others only because I want God to accept me into Heaven, then I'm a no good liar. I would put my heart into helping others, and I would do it for reasons besides making God happy - I would do it to make others...

    Through Me

    Wow, this is a really great poem. It flows so well, and it sends such a beautiful message of a God who will never leave us, and who will be with us through every battle, and everywhere we travel. That kind of love is one we'll never find in anyone else. This is simply beautiful. :)

    How do YOU overcome writers block?

    I think it's safe to say that all writers dread one thing - the evil shield that blocks out all creative thoughts, that takes hold of our minds with the determination to never let go. It's called writers block, and to put it simply, it's Hell. Since I've been stuck with this evil writing...

    Does God Really Exist?

    I'm not even going to bother reading any of the mumbo jumbo scientific stuff posted in here because chances are it will go right over my head. Yes, God really does exist. I might not have scientific facts to back me up on it, but I don't need them. I'm not always confident that God exists, but...

    Episode I

    Today's just another day in the episode called life, but I suppose it's just as good to write about as any other. Maybe the seemingly pointless days are eventually the ones that end up meaning the most. Who really knows? ^_^ I realized today that I bring everything upon myself. I brought on the...

    Am I really a Christian?

    Of course it's not okay, and it should be recognized. But it shouldn't be more important than all of the things you have done for others in your life, and all of the time you have spent bettering the world. Does that count for nothing? God is important, but so is helping others and improving His...

    Am I really a Christian?

    I typed something else here, but I think it might have been seen as offensive. Sorry. Thank you all for your replies. I appreciate them. :)

    Am I the only one who feels like life isn't worth living?

    I think this is a much more positive attitude! Here's a suggestion that has worked for me in the past: Take the time one day to make a list of the things you feel you have to live for. Keep it with you so that when you're feeling down or depressed you can remind yourself of these things. It...
