  • 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

    Atheism on Sundance Channel

    Did anyone see "godless in America" on the Sundance channel (this evening) ? It profiled the history of American Atheism and profiled Madeliene Murray O'Hare and her family. If the Atheists had a united systematic plan on how to make the world a better place, complete with their proposed...

    Study of Other Religions: Help or Hindrance?

    I love studying other religions, but what I find funny, is that sometimes the followers of those religions don't know what you know. I still have questions..What's the point of learning about other religions? What's the point of this forum? How can you come to an understanding with a person of...

    The Qur'an is an Utter Ripoff of the Bible

    And as ridiculous as that may sound, there are Jews who absolutley firmly believe that there is no way in h*** that Jesus is the Messiah. The more you try to give them proof, the more they use their scripture to disprove it. (ex: The Messiah would never break the Sabbath!!!)

    The Qur'an is an Utter Ripoff of the Bible

    How come no one ever considers the argument that the New Testament is a ripoff of the Old Testament?

    Religious Memes

    Well, I read the article but found it a little hard to follow. But this is interesting: Fear tactics, brainwashing, I think those that employ those kinds of memes are going to hell.

    Problems with Christianity and Islam

    Mmmm, What I'm trying to say is that as miraculous as the virgin birth is, I don't think it is grounds to make Jesus somehow "more special" than the other prophets. If this is grounds, then Adam must be more special than Jesus, as he was not even concieved. He had neither earthly mother or...

    Question for Baha'is and Others - What is Unity?

    I guess, the best way to answer your question, is don't you think Christendom would be better off if everyone was on the same page?

    Question for Baha'is and Others - What is Unity?

    THANK GOD!!!! But how do you actually prevent this from happening in your Faith community? I mean, alot of people are inclined to pursue power, prestige, recognition, status, position.... ( I truly have an extreme disdain for them) and alot of people are more than happy to follow them...

    Problems with Christianity and Islam

    Mmm, there are several virgin birth stories around the world. Secondly, as miraculous as it was, the miracle was performed by God. I don't deny the virgin birth, but we all know that "miracles" can be done by those other than God. I also think that the virgin birth was necessary to help...

    Non-Christian Religion subforum moderators

    I'd like to know more about each one. Have they moderated before? What "qualifications" do they have? What can they bring as moderators to the Forum? If we feel they are being biased, what is our course of action?

    Problems with Christianity and Islam

    I think we have a semantics issue. When I say Muhummad is "Divine" I mean it in a very general sense of the word. I don't think Muhummad is an ordinary man or you and I could just easily claim to be a Messenger of God or a Prophet. I think Muhummad is different than you and I.

    Problems with Christianity and Islam

    I hear what you are saying clearly. In fact, I appreciate the fact that Muslims see Muhummad as both Divine and Human. Again, though I think many non-muslims cannot accept the Divine part of Muhummad, for many reasons, I think truly the greatest reason is that the history of Islam and the...
