  • 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.

    Long term goal: PC repair and malware removal shop

    Any entrepreneurs have any input, or anybody in IT? Should I bootstrap or borrow from the bank? How much will it cost? Should I start off working in a place like micro center? How much can I make? Is this a dying business? Can I do this business without a driver's license?

    Do you all have a favorite animal?

    I love cats! And dogs, and oh, an old one from childhood....orcas! EDIT: I used to be obsessed with all different types of animals as a kid, a fixation interest due to my autism. My grandmother would even comment: "he needs to go out and play, enjoy his childhood, not read books about...

    Is Muhammad the AntiChrist?

    I've heard this claim thrown around. But who would be the false prophet, and would satan be the author of the quran, the head of the unholy trinity who tries to be like God, while Muhammad tries to be like Jesus?

    Anybody else suddenly getting pop-up ads on CF?

    Wait, edge eats away at cpu and memory? That's odd. But knowing myself, I'd probably not worry about it until its too late. I'm so lazy, and I get a kick out of when stuff around the house doesnt work, almost to the point Im disappointed when it's fixed. :) Im weird. But smart of you to use chrome.

    Great news!

    Currently I have been receiving some money from the government each month (not much, about 600 since i live with my mom) due to my disabilities, and my mom, after much gentle nudging, agreed to let me have the money (she controls the money, and it goes to her account, per decision of social...

    Was I speaking in tongues?

    I think I might've utterered something unusual, and then dismissed it, then asked God to interpret it in passing to the point I forgot about it, and then I began hearing it. Can the holy spirit interpret it for you?

    Was I speaking in tongues?

    I read a prayer online to be baptized by the holy spirit, and to speak in tongues, and all of a sudden my speech became silent, medicine like and fluid, but I could understand the speech, and no matter how hard I tried to speak louder, no sound came out. Keep in mind at this time I was worried...

    How do I know if God is talking to me?

    I had an experience while deep in prayer last night where I either heard (or imagined? I suffer from maladaptive daydreaming and sometimes have a vivid imagination due to asperger's) Jesus telling me about how to earn the favor of the Father in heaven, and that I need not worry too much about...

    Looking deeper into Matthew 7, especially 7:15-18 does it seem to be talking about Muhammad as a false prophet?

    15 “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. 16 By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit...

    What can Christians do to combat catcalling/sexual harassment?

    That seems very difficult, and I'm truly sorry, I could have phrased it different. Could you, and all of you find it in your heart to forgive me?

    What can Christians do to combat catcalling/sexual harassment?

    I apologize if I said anything wrong. What I said was off by a long shot and I'm sorry. I hope you can forgive me for accusing you. It was wrong, and I'm sorry.

    What can Christians do to combat catcalling/sexual harassment?

    Maybe there is nothing to be done. Perhaps sin will always exist in this world, and the idea that this world can be made perfect with structures into a utopia is a delusion because Jesus even described Satan as the God of this world. The only thing we can do, is endure. And take it one step at a...

    What can Christians do to combat catcalling/sexual harassment?

    I feel like all our preaching of the gospel is falling on deaf hears. People don't wanna hear the good news, christians are hated, and so if we try to teach that lust is a sin or why lust is dangerous, theyll just say. "what do you know, your G-d isnt real" Science officially blinds people to...
