  • 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.

    Mutt-i-grees Club: Where mongrel is the new pedigree.

    I'm glad to hear this. I hate all the inbreeding that goes with the pedigreed dogs, it causes lots of health problems for the poor animals. Yay mutts!

    Is it moral to vote for Huckcabee just because he's a Christian?

    I don't know if it's moral or not, but it's stupid. You should vote for someone because they would be a good president, not because they're a Christian. This is the same stupidity we ran into in the last two elections.

    Have you read any of the "left behind" series and what did you think?

    I liked them when I read them up to a point. I didn't buy into some of the end times theology (rapture, etc.) when I read them, and the last book I read, Glorious Appearing I believe it was called, was so awful. They made Jesus sound so full of himself. Maybe that book would have been more...

    A person really shouldn’t stay a virgin until marriage.

    Yes, even though we tend to hold marriage for love in high regard, it is a fairly new concept.

    On a scale of 1-10, how much do you enjoy going to church?

    Excellent point. I always felt that some contemporary Christian music sounded like love songs with Jesus' name stuck in. Must be pretty awkward for guys (and girls for that matter, Jesus isn't supposed to be your boyfriend) to sing to him like that.

    Divination?

    No, I think Tarot cards and such are neat but I don't believe in it. Although, I think meditation can give you a clearer picture of what's going on, which could be sort of similar.

    A person really shouldn’t stay a virgin until marriage.

    People should stay virgins as long as they want to stay virgins. Personally, I think people should wait to have sex until they are emotionally mature enough to do so. My feelings on waiting until marriage are that it makes it such a big deal in your head that it could increase the anxiety of it...

    Will you see / have you seen The Golden Compass?

    I wasn't really all that interested in seeing it until I heard about all the controversy surrounding it. Now I'm a bit more curious to see what all the fuss is about but I still don't know if I'll see it.

    Favorite movie from the 80's?

    Batman, with Short Circuit a close second. I loves me some robots.

    If creationists are going to heaven, I for one want no part of God or heaven.

    I always thought heaven sounded rather unpleasant anyway. Even when I was a Christian, the idea of praising God all day didn't sound like much fun. Is he really so insecure that he needs all that constant praise?

    To be honest, I'd be a bit hesitant to give mouth to mouth to anybody I just randomly came up to on the street, regardless of their sexuality or whatever. Their sexual orientation wouldn't matter, though. With universal precautions you always assume the person has HIV, HepC, etc. and go from...

    Once again, CREATIONISTS!

    Why would God create a world that looks much, much older than 6000 years old, then "document" that it was only 6000 years old? Why wouldn't he explain why it looks so old? What would his reasoning be for making the world appear older than it really is? It still seems deceptive. Or is it more...
