  • 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.

    You can tell her this: "How can I support you? What do you need to me to do in order to help you? Can I listen, can I hug you, can I just sit and hold your hand? Do you need me to help you find resources? Can I just be your friend and stop asking so many questions ;)"

    fasting and headache questions

    Headaches can be caused by various reasons - low blood sugar, dehydration, and lack of caffeine (for the fellow caffeine addicts out there!). Address the cause of the headache and it should go away. Many people tend to get dehydrated, which only makes the headaches from other causes much worse.

    Why don't all Christians fast?

    Not everyone can physically handle fasting. It can be very hard on the body and the mind. It reminds you of what you need to survive, which is nutrition - and it is often difficult to get your mind off of the burger and fries and focused on God when your stomach is growling ;) Fasting can...

    this is crazy

    I'm a girl, but lots of guys self-injure too... you would be surprised. Don't be so hard on yourself about slipping up. Everyone does it from time to time, it is part of recovery. Have you ever thought about praying to God or writing letters to God everytime you feel the urge to hurt...

    This is crazy I'm sure...

    Sorry for such a late response, I just didn't get on last night - I'm just getting up this morning. I was trying to avoid my computer and other triggery things... so I spent lots of time bonding with my word searches. Hey, we all have different "quirks" and different sides to our eating...
