  • 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.

    Why do Muslims make a god out of Mohammed?

    Bloopy - this is a decent question but I think you may have worded it better if you want a respectful honest answer from real Muslims. Only my opinion but it is clear they were upset about cartoon... if you want to know why Mohammed is revered like a God when they also say he was just a...

    Should there be a place in Church for agnostics/seekers

    Enacielle777 - Highlighted in red is the part of the problem that disuades people from attending a church. You wil love them and welcome them .. great but they will never truly be part of it unless they accept Christ as the one and only. And for some people this is not something they can...

    Should there be a place in Church for agnostics/seekers

    Thanks for the positive reaction. I'm going to write a letter to the elders and see what they say ! Jumperstumper - I think many Christians would agree with your post. The only thing I would say is that the point of the meeting would NOT be to convert people (some may think that this is...

    Stages in spirituality -- a theory

    I like these thoughts They make sense to me and also clarify why the church has problems with coping with all stages of faith or spirituality. The church has a simple message for all.. but it is too simple and if taken literally limits peoples faith growth

    Should there be a place in Church for agnostics/seekers

    I have a Christian back ground. For a long time I have felt that taking the bible literally was wrong. To cut a long story short I couldn't believe in a literal eternal Hell / that only through faith in christ can one find God / The Adam and Eve story did not happen in a literal sense - it was...

    An Interview with Ali Sina on Muslims in Europe(must read!)

    Skillganon, Its not just people from different religions who don't want to see Muslims terrorising the world. All NON religious people do as well - people who are not blinded by anything and who just want peace.

    Very good post It seems that Islam (as with Christianity) has many different views depending on who you talk to Glad you raised it though .. will keep an eye on this

    Respectful Interfaith Discussions

    can you be specific without mentioning the obvious - ie that all religions have a central character without which you cannot reach God

    Respectful Interfaith Discussions

    Hi All thanks for the posts. Arunma - I have found your posts to be fair and well written. However your view that Christianity IS exclusive means that you are excluded from this post! No offence meant! I am sure we will cross paths again in another thread - I hope so Also excluded...

    Respectful Interfaith Discussions

    I have a Christian background. Was once pretty fundamental but now cannot honestly believe some aspects of literal Christianity (like the exclusive nature of heaven, and any aspect of Hell). I now feel that every human has a spiritual side - a feeling that leads them to believe in a God and...

    Those who dare leave Islam

    I thought this debate was about what is happening NOW not agruing about history. I think no Christian can stand up and say that the crusades were good and something to be proud of. But what about now? In the west it looks like Islam is divided - many saying it is peaceful and...

    Alhannah You love all that is good about humans:thumbsup: But your cool christians who go evangelising (IN gangs or TO gangs - not sure what you meant there).. why do they need to do that if you can have friends of any religion / culture I think if a friend felt you did not respect his /...

    Those who dare leave Islam

    Hi Abdurrahim. It is clear and undisputed that Christianity in the past has been guilty of perpetrating violence and war. This does not mean to say that all Christians at the time beleived that the crusades (for instance) were the right thing to do - but obviously some leaders thought they...
