  • 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.

    Where do you meet Christian girls?

    I hear a lot of christian women say they would like their romantic relationships to start off as platonic friendships. In the secular world becoming a woman's friend is a sign one of the parties interested. How exactly does this friendship work?

    no chemistry, no visible attraction, is it a showstopper?

    The question of why do you like her has already been asked so I will go another route. Are you sure you are not confusing you liking her with you just being interested in her as a person on a platonic level? Sometimes it can be very hard to distinguish between the two when the opposite sex is...

    Handling advances from other people

    Does anyone here sometimes find it hard to walk away from advances from the wrong kind of people for you?

    Waiting For Kissing

    I've always wondered about the significance and the history behind the phrase "you may now kiss the bride" at the wedding. Can we imply from the phrase that kissing before the wedding was not considered acceptable many years ago? I'm a male but I believe that kissing is a very intimate action...

    How to get over these feelings?

    Maybe by just simply letting it be and not worry it will just go away. The more you think about it, the more you won't get over it because you'll be thinking about her. There is no rational, fundamental way with getting over emotions and desires more times than not. At least for me, I...

    I actually laughed at this post. I thought about taking up skydiving recently and I'm already an adrenaline junkie. I had a nasty crash on a motorcycle that made me remember about something called mortality.

    How to get over these feelings?

    I'm fully capable of seeing the beauty in a Godly woman. The science of attraction can be quite complex and beyond me sometimes. I'm not quite sure why, but when I saw her again after years had passed, I was instantly attracted. Normally, She isn't what I normally look for in a woman. Have you...
