  • 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

    Christmas Time Questions?

    1) I have to admit, when my kids were 4 and younger, I had fun with the whole satan clause thing (I mean sANta clause). After 4, I came clean. I just felt guilty lying to them. 2)See CSMR's 1&2 except insert "Those" in front of people, right? (Surely you and I don't fall into that category DO...

    drugs

    I like the way the general consensus is going in here. I think that regardless of the substance, (drugs, tv, food - I classify all things that are used to escape in the same category) they should never be used in a way to 1)interefere with your purpose in life and 2)physically harm you. In my...
