  • 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

    Why is there evil?

    I read a quote the other day, I'll have to paraphrase. If god is willing to stop evil but is unable he is not omnipotent, if he is able but not willing he is malevelolent (sp), if he is willing and able then where does evil come from and if he is unwilling and unable then he is not god. right ok...

    You think that mormons and scientlogists are without proper guidance? That depends on who is right, if they are right then you are without proper guidance although that point had no relevence to the point. I'm trying to find what people think of mormons (and scientlogists if you like) and (from...

    Mormons

    In need of truth? from their angle you are the one in need of truth. "I don't care who you are; you are made in the image of a holy God, and as such, you reflect God to some degree. To me, insulting others is like insulting God to his face." So you don't insult anyone ever? saying that someone...

    There must be something I'm missing: please help!

    Thanks, you guys are alright :) But I still don't understand. I've been thinking about my question 'why do you guys in god and I don't?' and I'll rephrase it: Whats the difference between atheists and theists? I've always thought that one group knew something the other one didn't, you guys knew...

    Can you prove to me I have a soul?

    IMHO for things to exist there has to be mass involved. forces have exchange particles and youre emotions are linked to your brain which has neurons and neuro transmitters. everything that exist deals with mass, to my knowledge. However the soul doesn't have mass and cant be detected. By my...

    Regarding conversion of non-christians.

    I understand what this guy is saying. There is less of that over in the UK but the christians are the only religious group to go out and annoy people looking for new members. Why not muslims; there are loads of those but they don't go around doing what some cristians do. I wonder why. I wonder...
