  • 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

    "Destroying America!" and other interesting tidbits

    I am abit confused here on politics. Admittedly, I don't quite keep up as much as I should as a U.S. citizen, but one thing confuses me: Why do politicians, news outlets, and especially people holding signs seem to think that one wrong move, one wrong bill, will suddenly send the United States...

    Health Care Reform Assumes Millions Would Pay Fine Rather Than Get Coverage

    Hmm. The Amish represent a very small portion of the total population. This may be a fallacy of thinking, but if you have a small sample size, you will over all have less issues that require insurance. I will now invoke something perhaps abit more rigorous; rates. I don't believe the Amish live...

    Eleven More Videos

    You seem to casually mention that he is the first black president. This is sort of a good thing, as it may show how well race is becoming less and less important. However, in this country, the first black president is quite, quite an achievement when even just 40 years ago things were terrible...

    Gallup: America becoming more conservative

    Sigh... I hope this doesn't encourage more apathy.

    The Coexist Bumper stickers

    I would agree. The first thing I thought of when I read this post was evangelism. People of all religions tend to want to spread into other lands, other peoples. Especially if they believe they are CORRECT. So which one is correct? You have no doubt heard sermons from influential people...

    I'm Homeless But I'm Happy

    Interesting. Well, as long as you are happy. But... I wouldn't recommend living off the grid, simply because it seems to be a health risk. I understand what you are saying: "Why do you care if I live a risky lifestyle and die as an adult when you didn't take care of me as a child?" While you...

    The pesky minority

    Hi. Lately I've been thinking I've been destined by God/fate/determinism/karma, whatever to be part of the select and elite few to either become homeless or live an incredibly short life. I decided to take a walk around Lake Eola, in downtown Orlando. As usual, there were alot of people there...

    I HATE UNI... help

    Welcome to the real world. Hmm, I can't help you. From my perspective, just do something that makes you money to prevent homelessness or suicide. You can, from a practical view, always change later in life if you have money. Eliminating various futures just because you feel sad isn't a long...

    I just had a personal revelation

    In a dimly lit kitchen, with a speckled marble top, instead of pausing and trying to find the exact tiny specs of splattered spaghetti sauce, just wipe everywhere you don't want the sauce to be found. Tada! Time saved, though you expend more energy than you usually would, though you use less...

    Why do I hate bars so much?

    Remove the 'meaningless' and 'pointless', and BAM! I've just defended the bar from the view point of many people. I don't drink and have never been to a bar, but I've always assumed that bars were a place for people to go and engage in the 'meaningless' and 'pointless', just as you described...

    Twenty-somethings?

    I've always thought alot about this sort of thing. What happens when we age? How will it feel? I vaguely remember an essay I wrote for a college application, and it touched on the subject. The essay said something along the lines of: "When I was in elementary school, I heard of all the...

    Under serious pressure

    I have no idea what you are going through. As far as I know, it sounds as if you did something, and coming up, you are about to be called out on it and from there have a high probability of being fired or arrested. If that is the case, I can't help you, but you are still young so there is...
