  • 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

    About drugs ~ What is your story? ...

    Let me give you the list of what I haven't done, because it's shorter: Peyote Ayahuasca DMT ...yeah, other than that, I've done everything known to man since the 1500s. I don't like marijuana. The sensation isn't pleasant to me. I have a uniquely non-addictive personality. I still have an...

    Vidya Games

    Oh, no. She doesn't play, she likes watching me play. She played Wizards 101 for a while (which is a very strangely fun game...like playing a kid-friendly online game of M:tG), but as she's 6 most MMOs are still a little tricky for her.

    Vidya Games

    My daughter will sit down in the computer chair, play her educational games, then call out "Log in to Dungeons & Dragons, and kill some kobolds." However, I'm teaching her to tabletop. It's learning math skills...yeah.

    Vidya Games

    I tried The Old Republic. Best single-player Star Wars game ever. Unfortunately, it's an MMO, so that causes some problems. :) 1) The lore of the Brotherhood. 2) I love stealth quests, and I love quests with non-traditional mechanics. The Dark Brotherhood quests have some interesting...

    Vidya Games

    Currently (as in, this very moment) playing D&D Online. Generally, I've been playing Oblivion and Skyrim. I love running the Dark Brotherhood quest lines. So much, I usually abandon playing the main quest in favor of just being an assassin. ETA: Somewhere, I have a pong box. It's...

    Pagan core beliefs

    Well, clearly it needs some refinement. If I were doing this with a student, it'd be after 6-9 months of learning some physical/mental self-discipline techniques.

    Pagan core beliefs

    That's an excellent idea for a spiritual exercise - treat your significant other as if they were your idealized form of Love & Sex. See how it affects your relationship. Keep detailed notes. If your S.O. is not your ideal, then question why, if your standards are unrealistic, or what your...

    Music!

    The new Soundgarden album, of course, is in my car. I have fun counting the measures, because 7/4 time makes life better. :) Other than that, I think it's important to listen to this during the holiday season - The Killers - Don't Shoot Me Santa - YouTube And my current favorite song -...

    My fellow pagans

    Get out a calculator - I'm a Thelemite, and I practice a Feri influenced variant of Thelema, and I address faerie archetypes. So, I operate on both the traditional celtic calendar, and on Thelemic dates as well. It gets complicated, as Thelema uses a separate solar calendar for tracking your...

    Pagan core beliefs

    Oh, wildly woo woo, but if you accept the woo prior to engaging the woo, you can do the whole "this is purely symbolic" thing and STILL APPRECIATE THE WOO! Or, in other words, I like to ask my pendulum questions, as it creates a lateral line of thought. On the OP - There aren't any core...

    Holy Scriptures

    "Anything worthwhile is dangerous." - Victor Anderson "White magic is whatever is pure and noble. Black magic is whatever works!" - Victor Anderson "Just because you're an atheist doesn't make your gods any less false." - J. R. "Bob" Dobbs "Lie down on the floor and keep calm." - John...

    A few Questions.

    Kind of. I believed in a generalized fashion. I got chosen for the particular expression. Nope. It was Meadb, one of the insular Irish goddesses, also associated with the Queen Meadb of the Cattle Raid of Cooley, and the Queen Maeve/Mab of various faerie stories. I had no clue who this was...

    A few Questions.

    YAY SURVEY RESEARCH FUN!! :D Which side of it? The philosophical view that dictates my beliefs, or my beliefs themselves? I chose Thelema as a philosophical construct as it, IMHO, most thoroughly and accurately describes the human condition. So far as what I believe and follow...

    Handfasting

    I've a feeling he's referring to me and my signature. Though interpreting what I say as "just make it up as you go" would be a horrible missing-of-the-point. :) Anyway, on topic: Handfasting is legally binding if performed by recognized clergy. The issue, of course, is that there are few...

    Freedom

    It is a choice, but one made under duress, and a well-planned legal system makes allowances for it. ;)
