  • 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.

    What do you look for in Music?

    I remember that "Achy Breaky Heart" song. It's probably been 17 or 18 years since I last heard it and it still haunts me. "Don't tear my heart, my achy breaky heart..." One song I like right now is "The Real Sin Savior", by Apologetix. It actually has some good lyrics, despite being a parody of...

    J-Rock

    I don't speak any Japanese. Japan has some good hard rock/metal music though. Moi Dix Mois, Loudness, and X-Japan all have some good songs.

    Esv

    The ESV often says "mankind" instead of "humankind" and "sons" instead of "children". That was most likely a decision to cater to conservatives who felt that the NRSV went too far. Jesus referred to himself as "the Son of Man". That title should be maintained in modern translations, even in...

    Knowing your religion?

    I think that homeschooling is a good idea. If I were to ever get married and start a family, I'd want to homeschool the kids. When they're old enough, they can decide if they want homeschool or regular public school. And yes, the whole redneck fundamentalist thing is a stereotype. Exactly...

    Knowing your religion?

    I got 10 out of 10. I really struggled with the last question though and just guessed and got lucky. I'm not surprised that atheists often know more about Christianity than Christians do. Some atheists really, really want to discredit Christianity. They learn as much as they can about...

    Is it wrong to protest soldiers during unpopular wars?

    Individual soldiers can be wonderful people and heroes, but not necessarily the organization as a whole, and certainly not the puppet masters who wanted a war. After all, some soldiers will still "follow orders", even if the government orders them to attack their fellow citizens.

    Christian Traditions Selector-Who believes in What

    100% Methodist/Wesleyan/Nazarene for me. I got 93% for United Church, which is the kind of church I've been going to with my mom. I don't know if I completely agree with the results or not. I consider myself to be "non-denominational" or just "Christian". I guess I'll have to look up what some...

    Alien Religion

    I remember the X-Files! I haven't seen that show in years. The universe is a big place. I'm sure that there are other planets with life. I'm not entirely convinced that humanoid aliens with advanced technology have ever visited Earth though. The unexplained sightings could be top-secret...
