  • 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

    Embedded media player won't work...

    Hi. I'm trying to embed an mp3 player on our church's site to play our pastor's sermons but nothing I use seems to work. I've tried nearly a half dozen and each one has problems. I've posted my question in coding forums but no one seems interested in helping me. The player I have now won't stay...

    is christian fiction too tame ?

    I love to read and write mysteries, but I dislike stories with profanity, gratuitous sex or graphic violence. These things in no way glorify the Lord. Yet for nearly all mainstream writers those things are virtually de rigueur. I have read quite a few "tame" stories which were exciting...

    know any Atheist jokes

    In Florida , an atheist created a case against the upcoming Easter and Passover holy days. He hired an attorney to bring a discrimination case against Christians, Jews and observances of their holy days. The argument was that it was unfair that atheists had no such recognized days. The case...

    Pat Robertson vs Chavez: Whom Would Jesus Assassinate?

    The mainstream secular media will ignore every intelligent, truthful, serious, enlightening comment made by anyone claiming to be a Christian spokesperson. But as soon as someone says something off-the-wall, as Robertson did, it becomes the lead story of the day. Robertson's comment certainly...

    Mozilla Firefox 1.0 has a bug with Christian Forums

    To answer your question; yes MyIE2 merely piggybacks on IE and is subject to the same security flaws. I use FireFox 0.9.1 (as well as IE6) and I am very pleased with it. I am encountering more sites that are better viewed in FF. silas

    any paint shop pro people here?

    That's a nice tile vlinder. I've been using PSP7 for a couple of years now. I don't own PhotoShop but I have fooled around with it a bit; it has a much deeper learning curve than PSP and is considerably more expensive. A few folks in PSP forums rave about version 8 but I haven't felt the need...

    Links query...

    This might sound like a simple question but I can't find a clear explanation of the difference between a:link & a:active. I understand a:visited & a:hover but the other two seem identical. Thanks. Silas

    The movie "The Passion" is really a film about 9/11

    I also think Shrek was a 9/11 metaphor, with the short prince being al Qaeda and the donkey representing Dick Cheney ;) Silas

    Methodist Court Rules on Homosexuality

    Would you kindly give me your interpretation of the following Scripture: The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it...
